Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating.

Did anyone else see the exciting news from Megan Shepherd this week? She released the cover for The Hunt, the much anticipated sequel to The Cage. I adored the first book in this series and absolutely cannot wait for the next! It’s no wonder that it’s my pick for this week. 😀 If you enjoy dystopian, young adult, science fiction, and a little alien love than check out this series! Personally I’m not sure I can wait til May!

Waiting on Wednesday #23 – The Hunt by Megan Shepherd

The Hunt by Megan Shepherd
Series: The Cage,
Published by Balzer + Bray on 2016-05-24
Length: 368 pages

They’ve left the cage—but they’re not free yet.

After their failed escape attempt, Cora, Lucky, and Mali have been demoted to the lowest level of human captives and placed in a safari-themed environment called the Hunt, along with wild animals and other human outcasts. They must serve new Kindred masters—Cora as a lounge singer, Lucky as an animal wrangler, and Mali as a safari guide—and follow new rules or face dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, Nok and Rolf have been moved into an enormous dollhouse, observed around the clock by Kindred scientists interested in Nok’s pregnancy. And Leon, the only one who successfully escaped, has teamed up with villainous Mosca black-market traders.

The former inhabitants of the Cage are threatened on all fronts—and maybe worst of all, one of the Hunt’s Kindred safari guests begins to play a twisted game of cat and mouse with Cora. Separated and constantly under watch, she and the others must struggle to stay alive, never mind find a way back to each other. When Cassian secretly offers to train Cora to develop her psychic abilities—to prove the worthiness of humanity in a series of tests called the Gauntlet—she’ll have to decide fast if she dares to trust the Kindred who betrayed her, or if she can forge her own way to freedom.
