Waiting on Wednesday #34 – The Cage
When I first saw the blurb for this title, I was instantly intrigued. A different kind of dystopia, but where some important choices seem to be at stake for the main character.
The Cage (The Cage #1) – Megan Shepherd
When Cora Mason wakes in a desert, she doesn’t know where she is or who put her there. As she explores, she finds an impossible mix of environments–tundra next to desert, farm next to jungle–and a strangely empty town cobbled together from different cultures and time periods, all watched over by eerie black windows. And she isn’t alone.
Four other teenagers have also been taken: a beautiful model, a tattooed smuggler, a secretive genius, and an army brat who seems to know too much about Cora’s past. None of them have a clue as to what happened, and all of them have secrets. As the unlikely group struggles for leadership, they slowly start to trust each other. But when their mysterious jailer appears–a handsome young guard named Cassian–they realize that their captivity is more terrifying than they could ever imagine: their captors aren’t from Earth. And they have taken they five teenagers to an otherworldly zoo–where the exhibits are humans.
When a forbidden attraction develops between Cora and Cassian, she realizes that her best chance of escape might be in the arms of her own jailer–though that would mean leaving the others behind. Can Cora manage to save herself and her companions? And if so…what world lies beyond the walls of their cage?

The Cage sounds really interesting, Lexxie. How long do you have to wait?!? 😉 I look forward to seeing what you think of it.
Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going well! **BIG HUGS**

This book sounds fantastic, right? I have an ARC of it but haven’t gotten to it yet (as usual…) 😛
Lucky you, Stepanie! I was denied access to an e-galley for this title, which means I’m going to have to be patient for a little longer 🙂
The Cage does sound really good! I think I have an ARC somewhere, as a matter of fact…
Great pick!
My WoW!
It seems several of the bloggers I follow were lucky enough to get an ARC *cries* and I have to wait 🙁

Yeah, I guess the aliens think the humans are quite fascinating, and it does put an interesting twist on what we do to animals. Thanks for stopping by.
I have been drooling over this one as well. Hope you get a chance to read it soon.
We can drool together, then, Brandi 🙂

YES! I can’t wait to read The Cage! I’m so intrigued by the synopsis, and the humans in a zoo vibe… it sounds so different, creepy and amazing. 🙂 Hope you love it, Lexxie, great pick!
I kind of love that these are basically aliens watching them and studying them in this Cage. The whole idea of this story sounds so cool, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it and check it out. Great pick!!

Great pick! I am so super excited for The Cage. I love how it’s set on another planet and that there’s aliens… AND IT’S A DYSTOPIAN. It’s literally like the recipe for the perfect book. I hope you have a great week! 🙂
