Goodreads Synopsis:
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.
My Review:
To be honest Scorpio Races was a
very boring book. Don't get me wrong, the concept and the characters were
interesting, but the book it self was just boring. Basically, nothing happened. N-o-t-h-i-n-g. A third of
the way through the book I was bored to tears because the plot wasn't going
anywhere. It was building up to the actual races that takes place in the last
15 or so pages of the book. Ahhh. There was nothing in the plot to keep me
interested, yet I continued to the end of the book.
I
couldn't even remember the main characters names or why they were so determined
to participate in the Scorpio Races. The relationship between the two main
characters seemed very off. I didn't buy the reasoning behind Sean's
participating in the races and there wasn't a lot of romance. Since I am a huge
fan of romance and there wasn't that much in this book, I didn't connect to any
of the characters. Although this book wasn't it for me, I do know that there
are others who really enjoyed this book. So if this is something that interests
you as a reader then by all means I say give it a shot. Hopefully, you'll enjoy
reading this book more than I did.
