Cover Coveting(10)

Hell has not frozen over! I promise! Now that things are settling down I’ve got a bit more time to hunt and dig up those yummy titles I’ve been missing out on.


Touch of the Demon by Diana Rowland

Shera’s thoughts: Just as awesome as the last two covers!

Hopefully the fuzziness is simply the quality of the version I found. Though if this woman on the cover is supposed to be Kara it looks like they replaced the previous cover model.

Shera’s thoughts:

It’s so simple and sooooo gorgeous. I love the beautiful watercolor look. Especially love how the ink in “Ink” is bleeding into the colors of the cherry blossoms.

This is a cover redo. Honestly I don’t like it. It’s too YAish.

The other one is so sexy!

Shera’s thoughts:

The art work as always is impeccable. However, I dislike how cheap they make Gin look. She’s the one character I do not want to see in a cheap hooker look on my covers.

Plus, I hate that they’ve started covering up all that beautiful art work. At least the design looks nice.  

Mountain Echoes by C.E. Murphy

Shera’s thoughts:

I love the dreamy feel of the cover. It’s not as awesome as Raven Calls’ cover, but is better then some of the previous ones.

Affliction by Laurell K. Hamilton

Don’t even ask. Just look here.

Shera’s thoughts:

Pretty cool looking. Better then the random inanimate objects that they kept using.

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Shera’s thoughts:

It’s hot . . . but not as hot as the last cover. Wicked Nights was just so intense. this one feels like a quick settle.

The muggy look drains some of the intensity, but I do like the giant Angel wings.

Shera’s thoughts:

It’s so simple, and I love it. The faint tattoos on her shoulder, the dragon in the sphere is just enough hint to say “I’m fantasy.”

The Goddess Collection Volume One

Previous book(s) in series:


9780425265048 Series: Goddess Summoning, Books 1 & 2

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Shera’s thoughts:

Looks like they’re trying to sell another on of P.C. Cast’s PNR series as a YA. Which is funny because they just gave these books a makeover to make them more “PNR sexy.”

The cover is sexy, and I like it. But nothing screams mermaid. Which honestly is one of the biggest appeals of the first two books. Original covers please.
