It’s scary when it’s Christmas shopping time. No really. I try to avoid it at all costs. I’ve done my gift shopping and only want to run into the store for necessities. Though with a shopaholic mom I don’t always get what I want.
Worst we braved a Saturday sale. I wish you well all of you crazy shoppers, may you not get stepped on or trampled.
Let’s look at some pretty covers to make us all feel safer.
Black Wolves by Kate Elliott
| Previous book(s) in series: |
| Goodreads | Amazon |
 | Series: The Black Wolves trilogy, book 1 Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: High Fantasy Shera’s thoughts: How exciting that Kate Elliott is starting up a new series! Yeah! Sure I could make fun of some things. But this cover is pretty darn fierce. Oh, and the sword covering the title, perfection. |
Burn by Paula Weston
| Previous book(s) in series: |
 | Series: The Rephaim, book 4 Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: Paranormal YA Shera’s thoughts: I love the constancy with this series, when they’re all lined up there is no doubting that they’re all from the same one. Personally this one is my favorite so far. It’s probably all of the colors. |
Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine
| Previous book(s) in series: |
| Goodreads | Amazon |
 | Series: The Great Library, book 1 Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: Young Adult Fantasy Shera’s thoughts: Funny thing is the lions smudged into the blue with faint glowing red eyes—wicked awesome!—popped out at me more then the books at the bottom. Overall I love the spattered/speckled and worn look of the cover. Very cool. Though the line on the left just seems out of place. Can’t wait! |
Pocket Apocalypse by Seanan McGuire
| Previous book(s) in series: |
 | Series: InCryptid, book 4 Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: Urban Fantasy Shera’s thoughts: There’s always been something sexist about these cover. Sexist as in those old romance time covers. Or better yet those movie covers with the girls clinging on to the “heroes’” leg. While this one isn’t as bad as some of the others. Why is this girl mucking around in the jungle with short-shorts, her top half on done, and no extra layers? Look at the guy! Oh, the art looks nice but I have complaints about their faces. Yes-yes. Grumble-grumble. |
Resonance by Erica O’Rourke
| Previous book(s) in series: |
 | Series: Dissonance series, book 2 Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: N/A Shera’s thoughts: Oooo, I love it! Covers that take objects, in this case cool folded paper, and them look interesting is awesome. Better is how the designer(s) made the type work with the picture. Bravo! This is how typography should be done! On that note does anyone feel a cover makeover coming for book 1? This is a complete change of design and feel for the series. |
Shards of Hope by Nalini Singh
| Previous book(s) in series: |
 | Series: Psy-Changeling, book 14 Add it: Goodreads | Amazon Genre: Paranormal Romance Shera’s thoughts: Every time I see a new cover for this series my heart leaps for joy! Especially now that the later books will be getting a makeover. Bout time. This reminds me of a snowier version of Heart of Obsidian, and it matches nicely with the previous winter cover Shield of Winter. The male lead is cover, and looks darn sexy, and the art is amazing, and the covers tie in together. Well done. Well done. |
Well I leave this Cover Coveting on this lovely little tease. Hope everyone is enjoying the season.
