General Gossip:
This is a debut author coming out with a hot new series. As an added bonus it looks like book two will become out towards the end of the year. Book one is called Darkness Dawns, introducing readers to a world of vampires, immortals, and humans with extraordinary gifts, and where passion can last forever, if you're willing to pay the price . . . Once, Sarah Bingham’s biggest challenge was making her students pay attention in class. Now, after rescuing a wounded stranger, she’s landed in the middle of a battle between corrupt vampires and powerful immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is mingled with a hunger he can barely control…
In his nine centuries of immortal existence, no woman has tempted Roland as much as Sarah. But asking her to love him is impossible—when it means forfeiting the world she’s always known, and the life he would do anything to protect… (Source)
For more good news Estep has now announced that she has signed a young adult series, Mythos Academy.

My Thoughts: It’s a little disappointing that there aren’t any wings on this angel cover. Still I like the blue hues and the tarnished look on the background. Plus the font is kind of nifty.

Angels of Darkness by Meljean Brook, Ilona Andrews, Nalini Singh, and Sharon Shinn
My Thoughts: Wow!! Simply stunning, this has to be one of the single most stunning covers I’ve seen in a long while.
Author's Thoughts:
Formerly Falling Angels, this anthology will feature a Guardian novella ("Ascension") and stories by the amazing Ilona Andrews, Nalini Singh, and Sharon Shinn, and will be out in October. What do you think?

Silver Dragon by Katie MacAlister (German Release)
Steamed by Katie MacAlister (German Release)
My Thoughts: The silver dragon cover simply kicks ass, bits out the USA version completely. The tones on steam and it’s more simply look wins me over.
Author’s Thoughts:
The German version of Steamed looks pretty spiffy, too!
