Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that highlights upcoming book releases we're excited to read. On my blog, I include movies as well.
Hunted - by Meagan Spooner
Release Date: 14 March 2017.
Beauty knows the Beast’s forest in her bones—and in her blood. Though she grew up with the city’s highest aristocrats, far from her father’s old lodge, she knows that the forest holds secrets and that her father is the only hunter who’s ever come close to discovering them. So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, there’s no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas…or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yeva’s father’s misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he’d been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance. Deaf to her sisters’ protests, Yeva hunts this strange Beast back into his own territory—a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of creatures that Yeva’s only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast?
Fairy tale retellings are my thing. I AM SERIOUSLY ADDICTED TO THEM. And with this GORGEOUS cover (LOVE the green cloak and brown hair...), beautiful premise, and AWESOME tag line ("A Beauty deadlier than the Beast") I am officially OBSESSED WITH THE THOUGHT OF THIS BEAUTY (note my brilliant pun).
Anyone else excited for Hunted?
GREAT pick today!! I love a good B&tB retelling! So my expectations for this one are pretty high! Lol!

I see your pun -- it's beastly. ;) I wish that cloaks were socially acceptable, because if they were I'd totally get me one of those green numbers and wear it CONSTANTLY!
ReplyDeleteOoooh burn!! Nice one ;)
DeleteYES SO TRUE!! Oh my word YES!!
YES I'm so excited for this! I haven't read a book only my Meagan Spooner. I've only read books that she has co-authored! This retelling sounds straight up amazing. I love the idea of a kick ass Beauty in this retelling. :D Great pick Amy!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Oh that's cool to know! I haven't read anything by her, but all her books look really good.
