Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry

The Tonton have been defeated. Lugh has been rescued.
The heartstone has brought Saba and Jack together.
Now, Saba and her family head west to meet him and start a new life. All should be well.
But shadows of the dead are stalking Saba.
And another kind of shadow is creeping over the dustlands.
Then a messenger shows up.
With news of Jack.
The heartstone has brought Saba and Jack together.

But shadows of the dead are stalking Saba.
And another kind of shadow is creeping over the dustlands.
Then a messenger shows up.
With news of Jack.
Why I'm waiting: I LOVED the gritty, captivating rescue story that was Blood Red Road. I loved Saba's crassness, I loved Jack's unflinching honesty, and I loved the way that the story was told. I can't wait to see what trouble our wayward wanderers run into in this next installment. Also, I miss Jack. And Nero -- I want a crow like that! And I'm curious to know what's up with DeMalo.
Aside: What do you think of the cover redesign? I usually find myself liking the old covers better, but I like the new covers equally as well as the old ones in this case. This way, I get Jack on the cover. This makes me happy. :0)
What are you waiting patiently -- or maybe not so patiently -- for this week? Share it in the comments so I can add it to my massive TBR list!
This book sound interesting ... great picks :) I will make sure to check it out soon
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the series before, but I love the cover and the blurb sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteOooh! I'm so excited for this one too!! Great pick! :) I loved Blood Red Road soo freaking much! But I'm worried about Jack... when I read the summary for Rebel Heart I almost burst into tears, I was so scared and sad about what happened to Jack. All I'm saying, is that Miss Moira better have A LOT of Jack in this book. :P As for the cover... how could I not love it, what with Jack looking so hot up there?? *fan girl scream and giggle* WOOT! That's what me thinks! Thanks for stopping by my WoW by the way hun!

I like the color background of the cover. Can't wait to read this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My WoW and sharing.
I still need to read the first book, but I'm almost afraid to b/c of the writing. I've heard it's almost better as an audiobook. Perhaps that's the route I'll go!! :D Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
I haven't try this series yet, but I find the covers amazing, this one is my favorite!!! Yummy guy!!! I heard a lot of great things about the first book! Nice pick! Here's mine
ReplyDeleteProserpine's WOW
Great pick! I like the new covers, but I hate it when they change them halfway through the series :( I bought Blood Red Road with the original cover, so now I'm annoyed about the change, 'cause I want my books to match :( although I still haven't read it...
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one before. I'll have to take a look. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Best pick. Dying to read this one. <3 loved Blood Red Road a whole lot. :) And I cannot wait to see what happens next :D I adore Jack. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my WoW. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
Gah, I still need to read Blood Red Road! I even have a copy but haven't gotten around to it. I think I prefer the old covers more though, I would have been interested to see how they would have done it. The cover resdesign isn't that bad either though.
ReplyDeleteSounds creepy! Thanks for stopping by my WOW at YA Sisterhood!
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't read this series before. Maybe I should check out the earlier books. It sounds pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW :)
I haven't read Blood Red Road yet, but my sister has and she loved it! So I'm going to hopefully make time to read it before I get my hands on this one. Awesome pick!
ReplyDeleteOh man... I'm like creaming myself for this one. I need it!!!! I'll be buying it for my kindle though because I'm still super bitter about them changing the cover. Bastards.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like it will be a wonderful book to read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,
Dani
I'm right there with you, BBS! You got me hooked on this story, and I am most appreciative. DeMalo = swoon! I'm not happy about the cover change; I really prefer the first cover, but it certainly won't keep me from tackling this sequel! Great WoW post! :D
ReplyDeleteNice pick. I still haven't read Blood Red Road.That dude is super hot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Jen!
Ohh my gosh... I totally love Blood Red Road but I was kind of disappointed that they changed the cover bah why so sudden? Now I have to buy the new cover to match this cover >_< Awesome pick!

ReplyDeleteThanks to all the amazing book bloggers I'd already heard of this title before :))) Sounds cool, though I don't know if I'd be reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WOW!
Hey Jen :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a keeper. :) Hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!! Thanks for visiting my WoW!!
I have to admit that I wasn't the biggest fan of Blood Red Road, but I'll still read this as soon as I get the chance. Oh, and I love the cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Oooh, I still have to read the first one! Can't believe I haven't yet. >_<
ReplyDeleteI am embarrassed to say I haven’t read Blood Red Road yet. My best ‘real life’ friend keeps telling me it is so good and while I believe her, I just haven’t gotten around to this series yet. Thanks for sharing your pick!
