Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week!
This cover was just revealed, and I couldn’t be more excited for this book:
It’s been four weeks since the bloody showdown at Black Mesa, and Maggie Hoskie, Diné monster hunter, is trying to make the best of things. Only her latest bounty hunt has gone sideways, she’s lost her only friend, Kai Arviso, and she’s somehow found herself responsible for a young girl with a strange clan power.
Then the Goodacre twins show up at Maggie’s door with the news that Kai and the youngest Goodacre, Caleb, have fallen in with a mysterious cult, led by a figure out of Navajo legend called the White Locust. The Goodacres are convinced that Kai’s a true believer, but Maggie suspects there’s more to Kai’s new faith than meets the eye. She vows to track down the White Locust, rescue Kai, and make things right between them both.
Her search leads her beyond the Walls of Dinétah and straight into the horrors of the Big Water world outside. With the aid of a motley collection of allies, Maggie must battle body harvesters, newborn casino gods, and, ultimately the White Locust himself. But the cult leader is nothing like she suspected, and Kai might not need rescuing after all. When the full scope of the White Locust’s plans are revealed, Maggie’s burgeoning trust in her friends, and herself, will be pushed to the breaking point, and not everyone will survive.
Storm of Locusts (The Sixth World #2) by Rebecca Roanhorse. Releases in April 2019 from Saga Press. I’m in the middle of Trail of Lightning and really loving it! I know April seems far away—OK it actually is far away, but I couldn’t resist sharing this book. And because I haven’t finished the first book, I just pasted that Goodreads blurb without actually reading any of it, lol. I desperately want to know who the other two women are on this cover, but please don’t tell me if you know!
Wow, I haven’t even gotten to the first one. These covers just keep getting better don’t they? Great choice for this week!
I thought the cover of the first book was amazing but this is even better:-)
I haven’t heard of any of these haha. But they look good!

I just finished the book so I know who the other characters on the cover are, I’m SO PUMPED.
THAT COVER!!!!! Holy shit!
Right??? It’s one of my favorite covers this year:-)
I kind of want to try the first book and yes April is far away but maybe it’s enough time for me to try the first one! 🙂 😉
Yes, you have plenty of time, go for it:-)
I’m still dying to get hands on a copy of Trail of Lightning! I honestly don’t think I’ve seen one negative review for it, and it just sounds so good. The cover looks incredible!
It was fantastic, I just finished it:-)
I ought to skip your choices, Tammy – because they are always so blinking tempting when I’m trying to be good! I hope you’re enjoying the first book in the series and I look forward to hearing what you think about it. The world sounds fabulous…
Sorry Sarah! I loved the first book and highly recommend it:-)
The cover looks like an action movie, I love that! 😀
Ha ha you’re right, it does!
Oh this is the follow up to Trail of Lightning? Awesome!
Yep, I love that book two already has a cover, that’s pretty unusual at this point in the game:-)
I just finished Trail of Lightning last night and oh my gosh! I really can’t can’t wait for the next book!
Me too, I just finished it a couple of days ago! It was amazing, right??
I sooo recognize the first book even if I never read it, but wow, I’d have never known that was its sequel. Looks great! And that wait.. is long!
It does look different from Book #1, right? But I don’t mind, I’m really in love with this cover:-)
I actually saw this cover reveal and I thought of you, Tammy! I hope you love the book!
Have a great day. =)

Crazy, right? The first book just came out. I hope you find time to read it, it was really good!
AMAZING pick, Tammy!!! That cover is just STUNNING!! I think I’ll feature it in one of my upcoming cover posts, and, of course, will link back to your post. LOVE it!! <3 <3
The plot is SO intriguing and unique!! I've never come across anything like this before! I'm adding this book to my Goodreads shelves in a WARP MINUTE!! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this!! Thanks as well for commenting on my "Can't Wait Wednesday" post!! <3 🙂
Isn’t it the best cover?? I just love it as well:-) And I just finished the first book in the series and loved it!
That cover is amazing! That would definitely catch my eye if I saw it at the bookstore. I look forward to seeing what you think of the first book in the series.
I just finished the first book and loved it! My review should be up this week.
Adds another book to the ‘muchly sought after’ lit.
The cover is great isn’t it.
