Review Quotes Praise for The Scorpio Races: * "Masterful. The Scorpio Races is an unforgettable reading experience. 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.

I stretch my arms out to either side of me and close my eyes. The water is so cold that my feet go numb almost at once. It wasn’t the ocean that killed my father, in the end. The surrender to the possibilities beneath the surface. But that’s part of this, the not knowing.
