Wishful Wednesday was inspired by Waiting on Wednesday and Desperately Wanting Wednesday by Breaking the Spine and Parajunkee.
Wishful Wednesday is my own little version of "Waiting On Wednesday". Every week, I'll pick an upcoming book that I'm anticipating the release for and showcase it here on the blog. This week, that book is going to be The Glass Arrow by the super talented Kristen Simmons.
Okay, so if The Handmaiden's Tale and Blood Red Road got together, this book would pretty much be the bastard offspring of that hook up. FREAKIN' HELL YEAH!!! Now, this what I'm talking about, I love a fantastic dystopian approach to a world where women are being sold for breeding rights and they're pretty scarce and being hunted down. Yep, I'm all over this baby!

The Handmaid’s Tale meets Blood Red Road in Glass Arrow, the story of Aya, who lives with a small group of women on the run from the men who hunt them, men who want to auction off breeding rights to the highest bidder.
In a world where females are scarce and are hunted, then bought and sold at market for their breeding rights, 15-year old Aya has learned how to hide. With a ragtag bunch of other women and girls, she has successfully avoided capture and eked out a nomadic but free existence in the mountains. But when Aya’s luck runs out and she’s caught by a group of businessmen on a hunting expedition, fighting to survive takes on a whole new meaning.
