Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight
and talk about the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read.
Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on
Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I’ve chosen what looks to be a debut book for this author, it is one I found on Edelweiss just recently, and it sounds really good! Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Ten years ago, a horrifying disease began spreading across the West Texas desert. Infected people—shakes—attacked the living and created havoc and destruction. No one has ever survived the infection. Daisy Wilcox, known as Willie, has been protecting her siblings within the relatively safe walls of Glory, Texas. When Willie’s good-for-nothing father steals a fortune from one of the most dangerous shake-hunters in town, she finds herself on the hook for his debt. With two hunters, including the gruff and handsome Ben, to accompany her, she sets out across the desert in search of her father. But the desert is not kind to travelers, and not everyone will pass through alive.
Western meets horror for this riveting story about survival, family, and inner strength. Tense, short chapters propel readers from one action-packed scene to the next, while Willie’s distinctive, introspective voice deepens the emotional stakes with every turn of the page. High concept and character-driven, Emma Berquist’s debut will satisfy fans of The Magnificent Seven, Rae Carson’s Walk on Earth a Stranger, and HBO’s Westworld.
Have you heard of this one yet? Does it sound like you need to add it to your TBR list? What book or books are you eagerly awaiting this week?

That was my first thought as well! Thanks for visiting!
You had me at western meets horror. To be honest, you probably had me at just horror 🙂
Yeah, the horror is what got me and I love the idea of it being western too! Thanks for stopping by!
You know, I'm never really interested in books that are billed as westerns but with the horror? sounds intriguing!

Yeah, I'm not really much of a western person, but this one just sounds so good! Thanks for visiting!
This sounds really intriguing! I don't read a lot of westerns, or horror for that matter, but this does sound good. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
I'm not much for westerns, but I do love horror, so this one intrigued me. Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't heard of this book before, but it seems something I'd like to read. I love a good horror novel and "Devil Unto Dust" seems one.
Happy readings!

It definitely does sound like one! Thanks for visiting!
Wow, this is the first I've heard of this, but it sounds so good. I love horror and I love westerns. A mix of the two would be fantastic!
It sounds like it will be a very interesting mix! Thanks for stopping by!
This looks really interesting! I love Magnificent Seven, but I have yet to read Walk the Earth a Stranger. I hope you enjoy this one!

Nooo, haven't heard of this before! Not sure it's my cup of tea, but I hope you enjoy it once you get to it.
It is probably not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but that's okay. Thanks for stopping by!
