Cover Coveting(16)

 All cover art is not final!

These are of the latest covers!  So I haven’t gotten up to posting all the “old” covers I’ve missed, but it’s coming.

I have to confess after not blogging for so long I’ve gotten out of the swing of things. Even thought I’ve really missed it I find myself sitting down and finding other things to do.  Then I constantly think afterwards, “I really want to post something. I miss it.”  My blog is my little haven, and I’ve abandoned it. *sigh*

Well, confession time is over let’s get to the goods!!


Hidden by Sophie Jordan

hidden

Amazon: Hardcover
Goodreads: Hidden
Source: Goodreads
Genre: Paranormal YA
Series: Firelight , Book 3

Shera’s Thoughts: 

These covers are awesome, but there’s always something that just doesn’t quite fit.

Book Description:

Jacinda was supposed to bond with Cassian, the "prince" of their pride. But she resisted long before she fell in love with Will—a human and, worse, a hunter. When she ran away with Will, it ended in disaster, with Cassian's sister, Miram, captured. Weighed down by guilt, Jacinda knows she must rescue her to set things right. Yet to do so she will have to venture deep into the heart of enemy territory.

The only way Jacinda can reach Miram is by posing as a prisoner herself, though once she assumes that disguise, things quickly spiral out of her control. As she learns more about her captors, she realizes that even if Will and Cassian can carry out their part of the plan, there's no guarantee they'll all make it out alive. But what Jacinda never could have foreseen is that escaping would be only the beginning....

Loyalties are tested and sacrifices made in the explosive conclusion to Sophie Jordan's Firelight trilogy.

Shera’s Thoughts: 

It’s kind of a relief that they decided to keep her boobs tucked in.  It fits beautifully in with the other covers and still manages to hold it’s own.

The light in her hair looks so gorgeous and I love the dragon tattoo.

Book Description:

IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE GODS…

No one patches up the incoming wounded like Dr. Petra Robichaud. Recruited by the gods for her uncanny medical skills, she’s the best M*A*S*H surgeon in the army. Along with a nosy guard sphinx, vegetarian werewolf, and other paranormal paramedics, she bandages soldiers who are built like Greek gods (literally.) But when one sexy immortal ends up on her operating table—half dead and totally to-die-for—Petra’s afraid she’ll lose her patient and her heart…

NOTHING IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN LOVE

Commander Galen of Delphi is one gorgeous but stubborn demi-god. When his spirit tries to slip out of his fatally wounded body, Dr. Petra has to slip it back in—unwittingly revealing her ability to see ghosts. Now that Galen knows her secret, he’s convinced she’s part of an ancient prophesy. If the oracles are right, Petra could lead Galen’s army to peace. And if he seduces her on the way to hell and back? Heaven knows—all’s fair in love and war…

Series: The Seven Signs

Shera’s Thoughts: 

It really looks amazing. The flaming sword, the stormy city scene on the river, and that hot and yummy star. Smoldering really.

And then he’s wearing a freaking midriff baring top. WHAT. THE. HELL.

Book Description:

A fallen angel with a mission and a medical examiner who’s lost her faith are fighting for their souls in a glittering, near-future Manhattan…
Blind faith is for fools. That’s what Dr. Morgan Sterling believes. And she’s going to prove it by curing the zombie plague ravaging her city’s slums. She’s certain it’s not a sign of the End of Days, but a nasty disease — until an angel appears in her morgue in a flash of glory.

Luniel is not just a fallen angel. He’s a powerful warrior sworn to fight evil in hopes of a chance at redemption. He’s after the demon princes who are stealing the seven vials of holy wrath which, when perverted, will unleash eternal hell on earth.

To stop the plague, Luniel needs Morgan’s help, and her faith. But Morgan believes science is their salvation. If the zombie plague is a demonic curse — and if Luniel is true — he’ll have to prove it. Even if he loses his heart to true love or his soul to Hell…

Shera’s Thoughts: 

It fits well with the other titles. I really like it when you can look at a book and know it’s a part of a certain series by just glancing at it.

This one isn’t as original as some of the other ones, but it gets the job done.

A Patch of Darkness by Yolanda Sfetsos

Amazon: N/A
Goodreads: A Patch of Darkness
Source: ATUF
Genre: Urban Fantasy 
Series: Sierra Fox, book 1

Shera’s Thoughts: 

Love how they changed up the color on the text. 

Love how her eyes have so much shadow on them you can’t see them. Still this cover is average, it really doesn’t stand out. 

In a perfect world, Sierra Fox would have stayed away from the Council she left years ago. But in this world—where spirits have the right to walk among the living—it’s her job to round up troublesome spooks and bring them before that very same Council.

Though her desk is piled high with open cases, she can’t resist an anonymous summons to a mysterious late-night meeting with a bunch of other hunters, each of whom seems to have a unique specialty. The news is dire: something is tearing at the fabric of the universe. If the hunters can’t find who or why in time, something’s going to give in a very messy way.

As current cases, family secrets, new clues and her tangled love life slowly wind themselves into an impossible knot, Sierra finds herself the target of a power-sucking duo intent on stealing her mojo. And realizing she holds the key to the last hope of sealing the widening rift.

Warning: Spook catching: may contain traces of ectoplasm and otherworldly nasties. Not recommended for those with allergies to ghosts, demons, and with boyfriends who think your power is theirs. While reading, avoid dark patches and stay to the light.

Silver by Talia Vance

Amazon: Paperback
Goodreads: Silver

Genre: Paranormal YA 
Series: N/A

Shera’s Thoughts: 

It’s a beautiful cover, it’s just too dark. There’s no enough contrast between the highlights and shadows to really achieve the great look they’re going for.

Beauty is pointless when no one's looking.

Brianna Paxton has been invisible to guys since the eighth grade. She’s pretty enough, it’s just that no one bothers to look. There’s almost nothing that can’t be explained with science, and Brianna has a theory: she’s missing the pheromone that attracts people to one another. Brianna’s theory is shot to hell in one frozen, silver moment, when time stops and Blake Williams not only sees her, he recognizes something inside her that she’s been hiding from even herself.

Before Brianna fully understands who and what she is, she accidentally binds her soul to Blake. Forced to find a way to reconcile forbidden love and her bloody heritage, Brianna discovers that there's nothing pointless about her, and Blake may be in the most danger of all.

Amazon: Paperback | Kindle 
Goodreads: Under the Moon
Source: Wicked Scribes
Genre: Paranormal Romance 
Series: Goddesses Rising, Book 1

Shera’s Thoughts: 

The first cover is the “new” one that certain blogs are posting. However, the second one is what Goodreads and Amazon is showing.

The first one isn’t really memorable.  However I like it better then the second one—it just tries too hard.

Their power gives them strength...and makes them targets.

Quinn Caldwell is the epitome of a modern goddess. Her power source is the moon, her abilities restricted only by physical resources and lunar phase. She runs a consulting business and her father's bar, serves on the board of the ancient Society for Goddess Education and Defense, and yearns for Nick Jarrett, professional goddess protector and the soul mate she can never have.

But someone has developed the rare and difficult ability to drain a goddess of her powers, and Quinn is a target. With the world thinking Nick has gone rogue (whatever that means) and that Quinn is influenced by "family ties" she didn't know she had, keeping themselves safe while working to find the enemy proves harder each day.

But not as hard as denying their hearts...

Spark by Brigid Kemmerer

Genre: Paranormal YA 
Series: The Elemental Series, # 2

Shera’s Thoughts: 

Teenage drama. This cover does not make me want to read this book.  It just looks like some tacky OC cover.

Gabriel Merrick plays with fire. Literally.
Sometimes he can even control it. And sometimes he can’t. Like the fire that killed his parents.
Gabriel has always had his brothers to rely on, especially his twin, Nick. But when an arsonist starts wreaking havoc on their town, all the signs point to Gabriel. Only he’s not doing it.
More than Gabriel’s pride is at stake -- this could cost him his family, maybe his life. And no one seems to hear him. Except a shy sophomore named Layne, a brainiac who dresses in turtlenecks and jeans and keeps him totally off balance. Layne understands family problems, and she understands secrets. She has a few of her own.
Gabriel can’t let her guess about his brothers, about his abilities, about the danger that’s right at his heels. But there are some risks he can’t help taking.
The fuse is lit…

Archangel of Mercy by Christina Ashcroft

Amazon: Paperback

Genre: Paranormal Romance 
Series: No Series Name

Shera’s Thoughts: 

Love it! Nothing makes me happier then sexy angel covers. 

His wings are amazing! They look like a mirage. Or maybe something spun from glass, or silk, or spiders’ webs, or magic . . . either way they look great.

Between an angel and a desperate woman comes salvation and a raw passion that challenges them at every turn…

When Aurora Robinson attempts to open a rift between dimensions to embrace her true heritage, an arrogant Archangel is the only one who can save her from the jaws of hell. And while she owes Gabriel her life, she's determined not to fall at his feet-despite the desire she feels whenever they're together.

After his wings were brutally destroyed millennia ago, Gabriel has no compassion for humans like those who ruined him and betrayed the ones he loved. But when he inexplicably finds himself defying ancient protocols to rescue a woman from a fate worse than death, he is shocked by the searing attraction he feels for a mortal.

As the ancient forces that seek to punish Aurora for her actions close in, Gabriel offers the tempting woman protection at his private sanctuary. But as they both succumb to their desires, they discover an even deeper connection-one that threatens to consume them.

Genre: Paranormal Romance 
Series: Hellsbane, book 2

Shera’s Thoughts: 

Dislike. The girl and the elegant background do not look well together. Clearly she was pasted in, and that is a look I hate.

Emma Jane Hellsbane just unwittingly triggered a whole bunch of nephilim to come into their powers—and this new army has teamed up with Bariel, demon straight from Hell, who’s made it his mission to kill all the magisters on Earth. When they come after Eli, Emma and Officer Dan must work together to save him, but this makes Eli all the more tempted to Fall for Emma. And his fighting his feelings for her means Heaven has taken notice.

Now Emma isn’t just fighting off demons, rogue nephilim and Fallen angels, she’s defending her womanhood to the judgmental Seraphim angels, too, who want to separate Eli from Emma Jane. Can she protect Eli, Officer Dan, and find her rogue father? For Emma Jane, it’s all in a day’s work as Heaven’s ultimate bounty hunter.

First off they need to do something different about the typography for the authors, it looks like one name.

We all know what I think about the easy four/six pack out.  Well at least they tried something a little different.
