While I’m experiencing good weather I hope everyone is well wherever they’re at.

Shera’s Thoughts: 

This series has never had the best covers. They just keep getting more boring as time passes. At least the title and series logo let look kind of cool.

Shera’s Thoughts: 

First off I have to “squeeeeeee!”, so happy for more Nightshade addiction!

Love this cover so much more then the ones they came up with for the original stories.  It’s gotta Xena warrior princess.

Genre: PNR 
Series: Agent of Hel, book 1

Shera’s Thoughts: 

It’s so pretty! No really. I love this cover.

The authors name stands out way too much. The title is completely over looked.

Dark Currents is set in a small Midwestern resort town where paranormal tourism is a booming business. Daisy Johanssen, an incubus’ daughter raised by a loving single mom, is the liaison between the eldritch community and mundane authorities. Most of the time that doesn’t entail anything more challenging than retrieving stolen goods from a puckish pickpocket or tracking down a tourist led astray by a will-o’-the-wisp, but when a young man drowns in an apparent accident that’s not what it seems, Daisy’s job turns deadly earnest.

Series: The Fallen Angels, book 4

Shera’s Thoughts: 

I do not like this new cover style at all. It looks so tacky like a bad YA cover.

The previous covers look sexy and with just the right dash of angelic. Let’s bring that back please.

I get they were trying to strike a new look for the hardback release, but it’s horrible.

Shera’s Thoughts: 

This one isn’t my favorite for the series, especially after the amazing cover of book 3.

The sword reminds me of Highlander TV series.

Shera’s Thoughts: 

This is probably my least favorite of the covers so far. It just doesn’t look as sinful as the others.

Guardian enforcers sworn to protect humanity, and Darkbloods, rogues who kill like their ancient ancestors...

Amazon: " target=_blank>" target=_blank>Paperback
Goodreads: Archangel's Storm
Source: Wicked Scribes 
Genre: PNR/UF 
Series: Guild Hunter, Book 5

Shera’s Thoughts: 

Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my face.

I use to think male angel covers were awkward. So not true.

Enter New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s darkly beautiful world of archangels and immortal power, as a pact is sealed between two souls bound by blood, stirred by desire, and driven by vengeance…

With wings of midnight and an affinity for shadows, Jason courts darkness. But now, with the Archangel Neha’s consort lying murdered in the jewel-studded palace that was his prison and her rage threatening cataclysmic devastation, Jason steps into the light, knowing he must unearth the murderer before it is too late.

Earning Neha’s trust comes at a price—Jason must tie himself to her bloodline through the Princess Mahiya, a woman with secrets so dangerous, she trusts no one. Least of all an enemy spymaster.

With only their relentless hunt for a violent, intelligent killer to unite them, Jason and Mahiya embark on a quest that leads to a centuries-old nightmare… and to the dark storm of an unexpected passion that threatens to drench them both in blood.

Thanks Rainy. I've been locked out so it hasn't had much attention lately.
