Such a book would have to have a short passage or passages, (and I would think) exercises that require students to examine clue/cue words to attempt to determine the meaning of a word BEFORE verifying or learning the dictionary definition.
Or do all vocabulary books still just churn out the drill and kill, which seems so out of date given the Common Core standards?
Questions of the form: "The word X in the previous passage likely means... (a., b., c., d.,)" on state tests are ubiquitous. Why can't I find a text that explicity addresses that skill in a focused way?

I haven't used it myself, but I believe the Vocabulit series (through grade 12) presents passages from well-known, grade-level appropriate literature so that the students are first seeing the vocab in context. I personally use Painless Vocabulary which does the same thing with expository essays, but it's definitely best suited for middle school.
