"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Hunted by Meagan Spooner
Book One of the Hunted series
Publisher: HarperTeen
Publication Date: March 14, 2017
Summary (from Goodreads):
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?
A new Spooner book! While I didn't like her debut trilogy much, I did like her co-written series with Kaufman. I'm excited for this new solo one!
I have such high hopes for this one! I haven't read her trilogy, but I trust her to do great. Thanks for reminding me of this.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Hopefully it does not disappoint. ^_^
DeleteI'm excited for this one, too! Any Beauty and the Beast retelling is likely to catch my eye lol. Any fairy tale retelling for that matter :D I haven't read any of Meagan Spooner's solo work, but OH how I loved the Starbound books!! Great pick, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becky!
DeleteI adore this cover! The blurb sounds good too although I hate the main character's name. I hope this one is as good as we think it will be.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
LOL! It's an odd name. I hope so too!
DeleteI soooo can't wait for this one! I adore fairy tale retellings!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Yaaassss!
DeleteOkay once again I've been out of the loop, as I hadn't heard of this book before I saw your post. I'm all for retellings especially when done well, so I hope we end up enjoying this one. Great pick Alyssa :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I featured it! Thank you, Jasprit. :D
DeleteI am super excited for this too, Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite retellings, and this sounds different from others I've read. Awesome choice!
ReplyDeleteIt does sounds different! Thank you. =)
DeleteOh this sounds amazing! I've seen the cover but hadn't read the synopsis until now. I love Beauty and the Beast so much <3
ReplyDeleteGenesis | Latte Nights Reviews

DeleteI've never read a book by Megan but this one is one of my Waiting On Wednesday picks! Hope we both love this one! :)
ReplyDeleteMiranda @ Miranda's WOW pick
Cool! I hope so too!
DeleteI'm super excited about this one as well! It's really hard not to be when you enjoy twisted tales. No to mention that the cover is beyond pretty and I can't wait to hold it physically lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW
Right? Twisted tale + great cover = win.
DeleteI don't think I've read anything by this author, but I'm super excited for this one! It's one of my most anticipated books of 2017, so great pick ;D

I hope it does not disappoint!
DeleteI haven't read anything by this author before. I hope you enjoy reading this new series.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My WoW earlier.
Thank you, Sandra!
DeleteHaven't heard of this one before but I'm definitely adding it to my TBR! I hope you get a chance to read this one soon.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WOW
That's good! Thank you, Aneta. ^_^
DeleteI see that cover today now for the second time - that means something *lol*

Vi @ Gone With The Books
Ha! It's a sign. :D
DeleteI'm so very excited for this one! Even if I don't really love retellings!
ReplyDeleteAwww, you don't love retellings?! :O
DeleteThis sounds great! I don't read a lot of fairytale retellings but this one has me hooked! I like that it's got a slightly different backstory and her father was hunting the Beast... that's a nice touch! And that cover- yes please. :)
ReplyDeleteIt does sound different! Hopefully it does not disappoint.
DeleteOMG! I don't really read a lot of fantasy, but the first line in the synopsis has me needing this book now! I hadn't heard of it yet, but now I'm off to Goodreads to add it to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! You'll be a fantasy addict in no time. ;)
DeleteThis sounds great and I LOVE that cover! My WoW.
ReplyDeleteIt does!
DeleteI've never read this author before, looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis one does indeed!
DeleteI'm with you. This book looks so good. I love the cover, too. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalie!
DeleteI add this one because I really want to see how the author pulls it off. I just pray that it isn't like so many other B&B retellings. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious too! There have been quite a few B&TB retellings, so hopefully this is a different one. Thank you, Lekeisha!
DeleteOh wow... a bit of a wait, but it sounds great! Might have to keep my eyes peeled for this one!
ReplyDeleteIf you read it, I hope you like it, Naomi!
DeleteExcellent pick! I haven't read anything by this author yet, but this one sounds great. I like that cover a lot too. 🙂
ReplyDeleteIsn't the cover great? This one needs to be here now. :D
DeleteI haven't read anything by Spooner but this one is on my wishlist, only because it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling! Here's hoping it's good :)
ReplyDeleteHey, that's not a bad reason to have it on your TBR! I hope so too. ^_^
DeleteYES, YES, A MILLION TIMES YES. I only read her debut and then didn't continue with the series but this sounds AMAZING and like it's definitely going to be so much better.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping this one is better than her debut!
DeleteB&B is my favorite fairy tale! I can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteYES! I hope we enjoy it, Liza!
DeleteI haven't read any solo Meagan Spooner books (I didn't even know she'd written any!) and wasn't a huge fan of her co-written trilogy, but I *did* like the writing in that series, so I may have to check this one out.
ReplyDeleteI mean, really: who doesn't love a wintery B&B retelling?
Yup, her debut was Skylark. The series, as a whole, was so-so, just okay. I loved the Starbound series.
DeleteHappy reading, Danya!
That cover is fantastic. Looks like a good read :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure does! :D
DeleteAhh, yesss. <3 This book looks SO PRETTY :D I think it will be amazing. It better be, haha :) Fingers crossed we will both love it. <3 Gorgeous pick sweetie.
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are crossed as well! Thank you, Carina. =)
