Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard of Maggie Stiefvater. You know... she wrote Lament and Ballad, and her ever-so-awesome Wolves of Mercy Falls Series? No, doesn't ring a bell? If that didn't ring a bell... then get out from under your rock, get yourself on Goodreads or Amazon and look up the books. Then come back here and watch Maggie
Stiefvater's amazing (as always) trailer for her upcoming new release, The Scorpio Races.
A bit about the Scorpio Races...
It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die.
At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.
Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
And now the book trailer...
Looks awesome, right?

Enjoy!
Love always,
Amanda
The book isn't perfect. There's a very annoying secondary female character who keeps popping up for no good reason, and I kept wondering why there weren't either policemen or lynch mobs on the island. These were small annoyances, though. I loved this book.
