Can't Wait Wednesday, which I have adapted to better suit my blog as "Feed Your TBR" is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight highly anticipated books. It is based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme which used to be hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Also, since it is Summer of Horror, each week I will be trying to do one horror and one horror pick - at least through August. So, enjoy!
FROM GOODREADS: At the height of summer, Blackstream Oil finally starts drilling on Saliquaw Nation. But when an oil worker is found dead, inexplicably missing his heart, the already controversial oil deal is put at risk.
Starr is still chasing cold cases of missing women, with hardly any leads and even fewer resources to follow them. This perplexing death of an outsider—a white man—is the last thing she needs to distract from her mission.
But when a suspect in a fifteen-years-cold disappearance returns home to the rez, employed by the same shady fracking company, Starr wonders if he might be the key to solving both mysteries—past and present.
All the while, there are strange phenomena among the reservation’s wildlife—bison display aggression, fish wash ashore, and Starr begins hearing a Rain Crow's distinctive call everywhere she turns. The more Starr learns, the less it all makes sense… and the cry of the Rain Crow warns that a storm is coming.

WHY I CAN'T WAIT: This is the second installment in the Carrie Starr series and even though I still need to read Mask of the Deer Woman, it won't stop me from picking this one up too.

FROM GOODREADS: Something is wrong at the world-famous ZOO USA. Animals keep escaping. Others are found dead in their enclosures. It’s a public relations nightmare for Ashlee Beauchamp, the communications executive responsible for convincing the public that nothing is amiss. Worse, she suspects the incidents are no accident—and fears someone on the inside is responsible.
Bright-eyed, young conservationist Megan Taylor is thrilled to be in town for North America’s largest conference for zoo professionals. The conference has been eye-opening, but at least she has Zoo Day to look forward to: a full day to explore ZOO USA with her sister, Sierra, if only she can convince Sierra (and herself) that zoos aren’t exploitative animal prisons.
Brandon McCabe is counting down the days too. Twisted by hate and hell-bent on revenge, the disgruntled zookeeper and his coworkers are planning something big to get back at the institution that has wronged them. Much like the animals he cares for, Brandon has grown tired of his cage—and when Zoo Day comes, everyone best run.
Told in real time over a single day, We Don’t Call Them Cages is an action-packed, multi-POV thriller that will leave readers breathless and thinking twice before their next day at the zoo.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I will have to see some reviews to see if I can handle the animals' deaths in this one which I am sure I will occur given the subject matter, but I'm all for seeing some zoo animals get revenge for their captivity!
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
