The Scarecrow Queen (The Sin Eater’s Daughter #3)

by Melinda Salisbury

The final battle is coming . . .

As the Sleeping Prince tightens his hold on Lormere and Tregellan, the net closes in on the ragged band of rebels trying desperately to defeat him. Twylla and Errin are separated, isolated, and running out of time. The final battle is coming, and Aurek will stop at nothing to keep the throne forever . . .

Explosive, rich and darkly addictive, this is the stunning conclusion to Mel Salisbury's internationally best-selling trilogy that began with The Sin Eater's Daughter.

Dani – Every single one of The Sin Eater’s Daughter covers are beautiful and this is no different. The colors, and bottle, the girl, it’s all magical and whimsical yet daunting – and that’s the appeal.

Jax - Holy smokes! This cover is gorgeous!!! And the colors? Perfectly eye catching!

AtoZ Book Covers Challenge - RoseBlood

Welcome to Cover Girls AtoZ Challenge!!

This year, like in years past, we are posting about which book covers we fancy, and our opinions about them.

Enjoy!!

RoseBlood

by A.G. Howard 

In this modern day spin on Leroux’s gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake she’s trying to hide. Hoping creative direction will help her, Rune’s mother sends her to a French arts conservatory for her senior year, located in an opera house rumored to have ties to The Phantom of the Opera. 

At RoseBlood, Rune secretly befriends the masked Thorn—an elusive violinist who not only guides her musical transformation through dreams that seem more real than reality itself, but somehow knows who she is behind her own masks. As the two discover an otherworldly connection and a soul-deep romance blossoms, Thorn’s dark agenda comes to light and he’s forced to make a deadly choice: lead Rune to her destruction, or face the wrath of the phantom who has haunted the opera house for a century, and is the only father he’s ever known.

Jax - Another one of my fave covers. The phantom of the opera feel, along with the beautiful girl encircled in the thorn covered branches, captures my attention. And the red at the bottom makes this cover pop!

Dani – A.G. Howard has always been a favorite of Jax and mine for many years and for many reasons.

1) Her stories are saturated with mystery and wonder. 2) Her covers are always Fab-U-Lous!

Queen of Chaos (The Fourth Element #3)

by Kat Ross 

Persepolae has fallen.
Karnopolis has burned.

As the dark forces of the Undead sweep across what remains of the empire, Nazafareen must obey the summons of a demon queen to save Darius's father, Victor. Burdened with a power she doesn't understand and can barely control, Nazafareen embarks on a perilous journey through the shadowlands to the House-Behind-the-Veil. But what awaits her there is worse than she ever imagined…

A thousand leagues away, Tijah leads a group of children on a desperate mission to rescue the prisoners at Gorgon-e Gaz, the stronghold where the oldest daēvas are kept. To get there, they must cross the Great Salt Plain, a parched ruin occupied by the armies of the night. A chance encounter adds a ghost from the past to their number. But will they arrive in time to avert a massacre?

And in the House-Behind-the-Veil, Balthazar and the Prophet Zarathustra discover that they have more in common than meets the eye. But is it enough to redeem the necromancer's bloodstained soul and thwart his mistress's plans?

As a final showdown looms with Queen Neblis, the truth of the daēvas' origins is revealed and three worlds collide in this thrilling conclusion to the Fourth Element series. 

Dani – This cover caught my eye so much so that I had to go back and look at the first two. Can I just say that all of the covers are amazing! I think I found a new series to start!

Jax - What a brilliant cover! I like the underwater slash smoky feel of it and the light illuminating the crown draws me right in.

Parallel Triangles (Bermuda Triangle) 

by Kimberly Ann Miller

How does a cruise change your life? By sailing through the Bermuda Triangle. Carly Carmichael has one goal in life--to perform on Broadway. She refuses to have a Plan B because she's never needed one--until now. When Carly's parents send her on a cruise as a graduation present, she takes her best friend and their boyfriends along with her. Once the ship sails into the Bermuda Triangle, Carly finds herself unable to sing or walk, much less perform. And things just go downhill from there. Hoping for help from the ship's doctor, she ends up with more questions than answers about the mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle and why her life is now unrecognizable. If Carly can't get her real life back on track, she may end up spending the next sixty years trapped in a life the Triangle chooses for her.

Jax - One of my fave covers! The cruise ship at the bottom has a taunting feel to it, inviting you in. The parallel triangles entwined with the dancer is smooth and subtle, making this a gorgeous cover!

Dani – I was gifted, by Jax, Kimberly Ann Miller’s Triangles novel, which I read a while back and just by looking at this cover, I really want to read this one too!

AtoZ Book Covers Challenge - One Dark Throne (Three Dark Crowns, #2)

Welcome to Cover Girls AtoZ Challenge!!

This year, like in years past, we are posting about which book covers we fancy, and our opinions about them.

Enjoy!!

One Dark Throne (Three Dark Crowns #2)

by Kendare Blake

The battle for the Crown has begun, but which of the three sisters will prevail?

With the unforgettable events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, all bets are off. Katharine, once the weak and feeble sister, is stronger than ever before. Arsinoe, after discovering the truth about her powers, must figure out how to make her secret talent work in her favor without anyone finding out. And Mirabella, once thought to be the strongest sister of all and the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks like never before—ones that put those around her in danger she can’t seem to prevent.

In this enthralling sequel to Kendare Blake’s New York Times bestselling Three Dark Crowns, Fennbirn’s deadliest queens must face the one thing standing in their way of the crown: each other.

Dani – This cover is a great addition to the first novel. And, since I read Three Dark Crowns, this cover is very representative of what’s to come.

Jax - This throne is inviting in all its majestic glory with the cushy seat, pretty roses, and ivy growing throughout... but with a closer look, it's a chair you wouldn't want to sit in surrounded by snakes and flames. 

Thanks for stopping by! Come back tomorrow to find out what the next cool cover is.

Welcome to Cover Girls AtoZ Challenge!!

Now I Rise (The Conqueror's Saga #2)

by Kiersten White

Lada Dracul has no allies. No throne. All she has is what she’s always had: herself. After failing to secure the Wallachian throne, Lada is out to punish anyone who dares to cross her blood-strewn path. Filled with a white-hot rage, she storms the countryside with her men, accompanied by her childhood friend Bogdan, terrorizing the land. But brute force isn’t getting Lada what she wants. And thinking of Mehmed brings little comfort to her thorny heart. There’s no time to wonder whether he still thinks about her, even loves her. She left him before he could leave her.

What Lada needs is her younger brother Radu’s subtlety and skill. But Mehmed has sent him to Constantinople—and it’s no diplomatic mission. Mehmed wants control of the city, and Radu has earned an unwanted place as a double-crossing spy behind enemy lines. Radu longs for his sister’s fierce confidence—but for the first time in his life, he rejects her unexpected plea for help. Torn between loyalties to faith, to the Ottomans, and to Mehmed, he knows he owes Lada nothing. If she dies, he could never forgive himself—but if he fails in Constantinople, will Mehmed ever forgive him?

As nations fall around them, the Dracul siblings must decide: what will they sacrifice to fulfill their destinies? Empires will topple, thrones will be won . . . and souls will be lost.

Jax – Very interesting cover. It’s simple, yet affective/effective.

Dani – I just really like this cover! You don’t need a lot to make a big statement, and this cover manages to do just that. I want to read this.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back tomorrow for another riveting cover!!

The May Queen Murders 

by Sarah Jude

Those are the rules in Rowan’s Glen, a remote farming community in the Missouri Ozarks where Ivy Templeton’s family has lived for centuries. It’s an old-fashioned way of life, full of superstition and traditions, and sixteen-year-old Ivy loves it. The other kids at school may think the Glen kids are weird, but Ivy doesn’t care—she has her cousin Heather as her best friend. The two girls share everything with each other—or so Ivy thinks. When Heather goes missing after a May Day celebration, Ivy discovers that both her best friend and her beloved hometown are as full of secrets as the woods that surround them. 

Dani – Creepy cool. It’s instantly captivating.

Jax - This is a hauntingly beautiful cover; so captivating, but chilling at the same time.
