Genre: YA Fantasy
My Teaser
Looking in the side of the lean-to is a long black face.
It still stinks like the ocean. Like low tide and things caught on rocks. It’s barely a horse. It’s hungry.
A capall uisce.
This was such a chilling encounter with of one of the dangerous Water Horses. I am loving this book and will be sharing my review later this week.

Synopsis
Some race to win. Others race to survive.
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 choice. So she enters the competition – the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
As she did in her bestselling Shiver trilogy, author Maggie Stiefvater takes us to the breaking point, where both love and life meet their greatest obstacles, and only the strong of heart can survive. The Scorpio Races is an unforgettable reading experience.

I love the look of this series, but being a bit of a wuss, am concerned it is horror rather than dark fantasy and I am allergic to being frightened… I look forward to reading your review:). My TT this week is full of mayhem and fun – https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2016/11/08/teaser-tuesday-8th-november-2016/
It’s more of a dark fantasy, Sarah. There are some creepy and violent scenes though. Those water horses aren’t to be trifled with!
Not read this one but heard a lot about it. I am glad you are enjoying it. 🙂
Just finished it and loved it. It’s definitely my type of story. I have a feeling you’d enjoy this one, Stormi:)
