Cover Art: Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, # 4) by Gail Carriger

Orbit has released the cover of Gail Carriger’s next installment of The Parasol Protectorate series, Heartless.

I am NOT a fan of this cover! I’m hating the model and her hair, and the way she’s looking directly out at us. And the back photo is subpar compared to the amazing art work that was used on the previous books (although the giant castle is pretty cool)! The purple I can deal with but BLAH! Highly disappointed in this cover.

But this cover will not stop me from drinking this book in as soon as I can get my bloody hands on it! I LOVE this series with a passion. They are so much fun, witty, and full of loveable characters.

Cover Art: Bloodborn (Other, #2) by Karen Kincy

Karen Kincy revealed her cover for book #2 of her Other series, Bloodborn,on the 2010: A Book Odyssey blog!

Due to a post I saw on Bookalicious I will no longer be posting "new" cover art directly on my blog but will be linking directly to the author's post so that credit is given where it is due. Read the post by Pam if you haven't! I've since changed my mind about this as I agree with the few authors that have commented. It's about getting the word out about their book, not hits on their author website. While I respect what Pam's post was about, in the end it's about getting others to pass the word along. Word of mouth, er, bloggers posting is a strong selling tool.

I think it's a pretty cover. I'm not sure if I like that the girl looks so much different than the girl on the cover of Other. Maybe it centers around a new girl? I dunno but I'll find out. :) Per Karen's comment she confirmed that it's not the main character from the first book. So now I'm excited to read it and find out what's going on! Thanks to Karen for stopping by and commenting.

Cover Art: Hereafter by Tara Hudson

Oh my goodness! I LOVE this cover! It's just gorgeous!

Tara posted it on her blog today, along with an adorable picture of her infant son!

Can there truly be love after death?

Drifting in the dark waters of a mysterious river, the only thing Amelia knows for sure is that she's dead. With no recollection of her past life—or her actual death—she's trapped alone in a nightmarish existence. All of this changes when she tries to rescue a boy, Joshua, from drowning in her river. As a ghost, she can do nothing but will him to live. Yet in an unforgettable moment of connection, she helps him survive.

Amelia and Joshua grow ever closer as they begin to uncover the strange circumstances of her death and the secrets of the dark river that held her captive for so long. But even while they struggle to keep their bond hidden from the living world, a frightening spirit named Eli is doing everything in his power to destroy their newfound happiness and drag Amelia back into the ghost world . . . forever.

Thrilling and evocative, with moments of pure pleasure, Hereafter is a sensation you won't want to miss. -- Goodreads

Release date is June 7, 2011.

Cover Art: Passion (Fallen, #3) by Lauren Kate

I just saw this tonight while browsing my “to-read” list on Goodreads! It’s gorgeous! I still haven’t read book two, Torment, which I’ve had since BEA, but I plan to get to it eventually.

 

Before Luce and Daniel met at Sword & Cross and fought immortals at Shoreline, they lived many lives. . . .

Cover Art: Chain Reaction (Perfect Chemistry, # 3) by Simone Elkeles

Holy cow, look at this cover!

Chain Reaction (Perfect Chemistry, # 3) by Simone Elkeles

May 24, 2011

Luis Fuentes is a good boy who doesn't live with the angst that his big brothers, Alex and Carlos, have always lived with. Luis is smart, funny, and has big dreams of becoming an astronaut. But when he falls for the wrong girl, Luis enters a dark world he's never known, and just when he thinks he's got life all figured out, learns some disturbing news about his family that destroys his positive outlook on life. Will that Fuentes bad boy streak come out with a vengeance and lure Luis to live on the edge like his new girlfriend and his own father?

Continuing all the steamy romance of the first two books, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Simone Elkeles gives fans one more satisfying taste of the irresistible Fuentes boys. -- Goodreads

Yes, it's a YA but if you've read either of the first two books of this series then you know how steamy these YA books get. They don't just brush over the awkward sex issue they take it inch-by-inch, well not really but it's pretty intense for YA fiction.

I haven't officially reviewed the first two books on here but take my word, they are amazingly awesome. Highly recommend to adults and teens who have a firm grasp on sexual education. ;)

Cover Art: Forever (Mercy Falls, #3) by Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater debuted the cover for the LAST book of her Wolves of Mercy Falls series, FOREVER.

Forever by Maggie Stiefvater 368 pages, Scholastic Press, (2011-07-12) $17.99 (Amazon.com)

Maggie also stressed that you can pre-order SIGNED copies from Fountain Book Store! How cool is that?

Cover Art: Hard Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, # 4) by Chloe Neill

Chloe Neill has debuted her lovely cover for the next installment of the lovely Chicagoland Vampire series, Hard Bitten.

The cover is awesome. But more importantly I can’t wait to read it! I recently consumed book three, Twice Bitten.

Hard Bitten is set to release May 2011.

Cover Art: Possession by Elana Johnson

Saw another 2011 cover debut over at the Elevensies.

Goodreads

In this world, you're just a possession.

**Formerly titled Control Issues.

 

It’s beautiful. Love it.

Cover Art: Moonglass by Jessi Kirby

Saw this 2011 cover debut over on the Elevensies.

Moonglass by Jessi Kirby 224 pages, Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, (2011-05-03) $16.99 (Amazon.com) A contemporary YA novel about a girl who, years after her mother's death, gets a fresh start in a new seaside town. She seems to be outrunning the past, but discovers that the sea glass she wears around her neck is not just a token of her mother's memory but a connection to the very stretch of water she now calls home.

 

Sounds like a good read and it has a lovely cover.

Cover Art: The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (An Eclipse Novella) by Stephenie Meyer

Stephenie disclosed this new release she’s putting out, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, releasing June 5th.

It was supposed to be included in The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide but it was too long, over 200 pages once typeset.

 

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella by Stephenie Meyer

Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion.

Stephenie has arranged for The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner to be free from June 7th to July 5th on www.breetanner.com.

If you decide to buy it $1 from each book will be donated to the American Red Cross.

Sounds pretty cool. But I can’t recall who the heck Bree is. :( Sad face.

Cover Art: Pray for Dawn (Dark Days, Book 4) by Jocelynn Drake

Jocelynn has revealed the final cover for Pray for Dawn (Dark Days, Book 4), which will release June 29, 2010.

She also shared the description:

Pray for salvation… Pray for daylight…
Murder has pulled Mira out of the shadows and back into the living world…
As the fire-wielding enforcer of the Nightwalker Coven wrestles with the mind-destroying ghosts of her dark past, the slaying of a senator’s daughter in Savannah threatens to expose her kind to the brilliant light of day. The dawn of chaos has come. The naturi have broken free of their eternal prison to feed on the defenseless and unbelieving of an unprepared Earth.
Mira and Danaus—vampire and vampire slayer—must unite to prevent the annihilation of their separate races. But for Danaus the challenge is intensified, for he must also fight the bori who covets his soul. And Mira, the Nightwalker he must protect—whose power is the Earth’s last hope—is rapidly going insane.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Book 3 but I’m soooo excited to hear that this book will be from Danaus’s point of view. Man I’ve wanted in that mans head for a long time now!

Haven’t read the series? It’s a pretty kick ass vampire Urban Fantasy with an intense sexual tension relationship all wrapped up by some awesome writing.

Dawnbreaker (Dark Days, Book 3) I apparently never posted my review. :( Oh well.

Will you be reading this upcoming release? Like the cover?

I think the cover is okay. He looks like his pants are a little droopy in the front and I don’t mean in a good way. :(
