Waiting on Wednesday: (57)

The Hunt

Megan Shepherd

The Cage, #2

Balzer + Bray

Expected: May 24th, 2016

Description from GoodReads:

   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.

Why I Want It:

   Megan left us off with a cliffhanger at the end of The Cage, and from that moment on I needed The Hunt. I just need to know what happens to the characters, what happens with the Kindred, and finally their new prison. The Hunt sounds like an adventure waiting to happen!

   That's my Waiting on Wednesday this week! Will you be picking up The Hunt? What are you waiting on this week?
