Recensione:
Praise for FIRE & FLOOD:
"Scott holds her own in attitude and taut action, and Tella's voice is feminine, smart, and sassy. Importantly, although male-female chemistry is definitely present, the emotional drive of the novel doesn't rely on romance. Family, camaraderie, and Tella's bond with her furry Pandora companion matter just as much in getting her through the first part of her life-and-death race."
- Publishers Weekly
"Non-stop action and thrilling adventure will keep readers turning the pages. . . . Scott captures the essence of what it means to sacrifice one's self for a loved one."
- VOYA
"Tella is an especially strong and likable character, which makes this gripping adventure all the more enjoyable."
