Nightshade Book Cover for Paperback Book

I really, really, really love the book Nightshade by Andera Cremer!!! I have nothing bad to say about it. Plus the cover for the hardback book is just breathtaking. So when I was looking at the sidebar on Andera Cremer blog A Blurred History, I just felled in loved with the paperback version of the cover. It is suppose to release on June 14, 2011. But I just can't seem to decide which cover I like best. I would love to hear your opinions in the comments. For those of you who have not read this book yet, I strongly suggest that you do. It wont be long it'll you start craving for the second book in the series to be released, Wolfsbane.

Cover Discovery

Title: Awakened
Author: P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
Release Date: January 4, 2011



Book Description:

At the start of Awakened, the pulse-pounding eighth installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey has returned, mostly whole, from the Otherworld to her rightful place as High Priestess at the House of Night. Her friends are just glad to have her back, but after losing her human consort, Heath, will Zoey - or her relationship with her super-hot Warrior, Stark - ever be the same? Stevie Rae is drawn even closer to Rephaim, the Raven Mocker with whom she shares a mysterious and powerful Imprint, but he is a dangerous secret that isolates her from her school, her red fledglings, and even her best friends. When the dark threat of Neferet - who is coming closer and closer to achieving her twisted goal of immortality - and Kalona returns, what will it take to keep the House of Night from being lost forever, and what will one desperate girl do to keep her heart from being irreparably broken?

My Thoughts: Omg, I just adore the cover. I can't believe that's suppose to be Rephaim. It's suppose to be Rephaim as he saw himself in the fountain at the end of Burned. I just love the cover. It fit's in perfectly with the rest of the House of Night covers. I can't wait till it releases.

They let her in on a secret—the afterlife isn’t just an eternity of leisure; Riley has to work.

Book Description:

Riley has always wanted to be a Demon Trapper like her father, and she's already following in his footsteps as one of the best.

One thing's for sure - if she doesn't keep her wits about her there'll be hell to pay...

Author: Marlene Perez
Release Date: May 02, 2011



Book Description:

It’s springtime of senior year, and psychic sleuth Daisy Giordano is preparing to say goodbye to Nightshade High. But no college acceptance letters have arrived yet, and she’s beginning to worry about where she’ll end up come fall—and if it will be anywhere near her boyfriend, Ryan. But that’s not the only uncertainty Daisy’s dealing with. There’s a vamps versus shifters war going on in Nightshade, and things are so tense that there is talk of canceling the prom. The conflict is carrying over to the Giordano home, since Rose and Daisy are both dating werewolves and Poppy’s new boyfriend is a vampire.

Daisy’s investigations involve mysterious new folks in town—and some old familiar faces, like her nemesis, celebrity chef/sorceress Circe Silvertongue. Can Daisy convince Circe to free the spirit she trapped in a jukebox long ago, and to change her pet pig, Balthazar, back into the man he once was? Can the paranormal community in Nightshade finally find peace? And will Daisy and her friends survive graduation? All of these questions and more are answered in the explosive final installment in the Dead Is series.


My Thoughts: I got all the books in the series so far but I have not read them yet. I plan to hopefully read them soon but in the meantime, I will just enjoy the covers. This cover fit's in perfectly with the rest of the books in the series.

Book Description:

The Drake Chronicles continues, with a glimpse inside the world of a vampire hunter.

Hunter Wild just wants to get through her last year at the secret Helios-Ra Academy. To do so, she’ll have to betray her grandfather, date a vampire and possibly take down the entire League – all before the end of term.


My Thoughts~ This book sounds great and the cover looks amazing. At least it's part of a series I have read, unlike most of the time. I have read the first book to this series, but not the second. But after finding out there is another book to this series, I might read it the second book ASAP.

Title: The Vampire Diaries: Origins (Stefan’s Diaries #1)
Author: Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec
Release Date: November 2, 2010



Book Description:

Set during the Civil War, against a backdrop of grand estates, unimaginable riches, and deadly secrets, three teenagers in Mystic Falls, Virginia enter a torrid love triangle that will span eternity. Brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore are inseparable until they meet Katherine, a stunning, mysterious woman who turns their world upside down. Siblings turned rivals, the Salvatores compete for Katherine’s affection, only to discover that her sumptuous silk dresses and glittering gems hide a terrible secret: Katherine is a vampire. And she is intent on turning them into vampires so they can live together — forever.

My Thoughts~ I am a big fan of The Vampire Diaries and I just love how Stephan looks in this cover. But I would just love it even more if he had a little bit of blood on his lip like the first Vampire Diaries book has. I am going to buy this book as soon as it comes out.

Title: Entice (Need #3)
Author: Carrie Jones
Release Date: December 7, 2010



Book Description:

Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that’s not quite how things have worked out. For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he’s been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it’s taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla? And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there’s that other small problem: Zara’s been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn’t just turned… She’s Astley’s queen.

My Thoughts: This series does sound quite good, but of course, I have not started this series yet. But I do like the cover. The cover matches with the rest of the books that belong in this series.

Title: Darkness Becomes Her
Author: Kelly Keaton
Release Date: February 22, 2011



Book Description:

Ari can’t help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can’t be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is.

Her search for answers uncovers just one message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it’s impossible to protect herself when she doesn’t know what she’s running from or why she is being pursued.
She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her.
Ari won’t stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.

My Thoughts: This book sounds so good. I love the book description. This book is so on my TBR pile. By the way am I the only one who thinks this book sort of looks like the Beautiful Creatures book?

Title: Bloody Valentine: A Blue Bloods Novella
Author: Melissa de la Cruz
Release Date: December 28, 2010



Book Description:

Vampires have powers beyond human comprehension: strength that defies logic, speed that cannot be captured on film, the ability to shapeshift and more. But in matters of the heart, no one, not even the strikingly beautiful and outrageously wealthy Blue Bloods, has total control. In Bloody Valentine, bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz offers readers a new story about the love lives of their favorite vamps – the passion and heartache, the hope and devastation, the lust and longing. Combined with all the glitz, glamour, and mystery fans have come to expect, this is sure to be another huge hit in the Blue Bloods series.

My Thoughts: This book sounds great. But sadly as always, the great books I find are part of series I have not read yet. But anyway, I love the cover. I feel like it fits the rest of the cover to the series. And the flower looks beautiful.

Title: Darkest Mercy (Wicked Lovely #5)
Author: Melissa Marr
Release Date: February 22, 2010



This is not the final cover. But the book does have some different features to it then it had from the last cover.



Book Description:

The Summer King is missing; the Dark Court is bleeding; and a stranger walks the streets of Huntsdale, his presence signifying the deaths of powerful fey.

Aislinn tends the Summer Court, searching for her absent king and yearning for Seth. Torn between his new queen and his old love, Keenan works from afar to strengthen his court against the coming war. Donia longs for fiery passion even as she coolly readies the Winter Court for battle. And Seth, sworn brother of the Dark King and heir to the High Queen, is about to make a mistake that could cost his life.

Love, despair, and betrayal ignite the faery courts, and in the final conflict, some will win…and some will lose everything.
The exhilarating conclusion to Melissa Marr’s New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series will leave readers breathless.

My Thoughts: Well I love the new cover. I have not (yet again) read this series, but it looks really good. I might start reading this series soon. And the cover does look like it fits in with the rest of the covers to this series.

Title: Personal Demons
Author: Lisa Desrochers
Release Date: September 14, 2010



Old Cover:


Book Description:

Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a bit of a wicked streak. She has spent years keeping everyone at a distance---even her closest friends---and it seems as if her senior year is going to be more of the same . . . until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can’t seem to stay away from him.

What she doesn’t know is that Luc is on a mission. He’s been sent from Hell itself to claim Frannie’s soul. It should be easy---all he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn’t stand a chance. But he has to work fast, because if the infernals are after her, the celestials can’t be far behind. And sure enough, it’s not long before the angel Gabriel shows up, willing to do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for. It isn’t long before they find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie’s soul.

But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay . . . for all of them.

My Thoughts: Wow. This cover does not even look like it belongs in the YA section. This cover looks like it belongs in the Adult Urban Fantasy section instead. I have to admit though, I did like the old cover better (seen above). But they could have change the girl to the old cover to make it better; not change the whole thing.

Title: Fallen Angel
Author: Heather Terrell
Release Date: December 28, 2010



Book Description:

The first book in a dark, edgy new angel series about a girl who finds herself forced to choose sides in the battle between fallen angels, even if that means going against the boy she loves.

When Ellie Faneuil first sees Michael Chase she feels an instantaneous connection. But she does not realize how much they have in common, including the ability fly and to see what others are thinking - not to mention a taste for blood. Reveling in their new powers and their growing feelings for each other, Ellie and Michael are determined to uncover what they are, and how they got this way ... together.

But the truth has repercussions neither could have imagined. Soon they find themselves center stage in an ancient conflict between fallen angels that threatens to destroy everything they love. And it is no longer clear whether Ellie and Michael will choose the same side.
In this electrifying novel Heather Terrell spins a gripping tale of soul-mates, supernatural powers and a truth that will change Ellie and Michael‘s world forever.

My Thoughts: Okay, the girl on this cover looks like the main female character of the girl who did Pirates of the Caribbean or Lindsay Lohan. But the description of the book does sound good.

Title: Vampire Crush
Author: A.M. Robinson
Release Date: December 28, 2010



Book Description:

First, six mysteriously pale new students show up at Sophie McGee’s high school. Then, Sophie’s childhood nemesis James reappears, still displaying a knack for making Sophie’s blood boil. When Sophie finds out that James has a connection to the new students, she decides to investigate...never expecting her life will quickly begin to resemble a campy horror movie, complete with budding crushes and bloodthirsty villains.

Perfect for fans of the Vampire Kisses and Vladmir Tod series, A. M. Robinson’s debut novel sparkles with action, intrigue, irresistible wit, and sizzling romance.

My Thoughts:This book sounds good. The cover looks good, and I love the fact the it has a bat (is that a cookie?) instead of fangs. It's quite simple and I think that's why I like it.

What do you think of these covers?

Cover Discovery: Night School by Mari Mancusi & New Cover for Night Star by Alyson Noël



About~ Vampires, Slayers and...FAIRIES? Sunny and Rayne McDonald are about to get SCHOOLED.


After their parents' shocking revelation about their fae heritage and an attack on their lives, the McDonald twins find themselves on the run--forced to hide out at Riverdale Academy , a boarding school for vampire slayers, deep in the Swiss Alps. With no cells, no internet, and no way to contact their vampire boyfriends--the twins are on their own.


Being a vampire stuck in a school full of slayers isn't easy. Especially with no blood substitute stocked on campus. Soon Rayne finds herself succumbing to her bloodlust and losing control--especially around the arrogant, but devastatingly handsome Corbin Billingsworth the Third--who isn't sure whether he wants to kiss her...or kill her.


But when Sunny starts acting strange, Rayne realizes Riverdale Academy may be hiding some deadly secrets of its own--leading to a showdown in Fairyland that may cost the twins their lives.

My Thoughts~ Why the hell are all the good covers I find are part of series that I have not read yet. Is it bad luck or a mere coincidence? Who knows, who cares. Wait, I care!!! I have to get chaught up with many series. I hope to do that this summer. As you can see I have made 20 post this month and I hope next month I write gven more posts. This book sounds so good and the plot of the story sounds even better. I can't wait to read this. This book releases some day in January.

What do you think of the cover?

Also on another note, the author Alyson Noël has changed the cover to Night Star, book 5 to The Immortals series.

The Before Cover:


New Cover:


My Thoughts~ The girl in the new cover looks more like a doll than like a person. I like the new bottle on the cover but I wish they kept the sparkles above the bottle too. I honestly like the old cover better than the new cover. It looks like it would fit the styles of the other books in the series. But than again, I really, really, really, like the bottle or the other cover. I can't deside.

So which cover do you prefer?

Cover Discovery: Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting



Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting is the sequel to The Body Finder. I have not read the first book The Body Finder but I plan to do so, as soon as I have a copy. But, OMG. This cover is HOT!!! I love the fact that it has kind of the same flower as the first book in the series. And I have to say that I also kinda like the pink color on the cover too (and that for me is a big thing, because I HATE pink.) This book releases on March 15, 2011.

What do you think of the cover?
