Hellooo everybodee! It's time for another round of Cover Dazed, my own featurette spotlighting New & BEAUTIFUL covers! I mean, I don't know about you but I could sit and browse covers for hours! Woot! I have some lovely ones today so look and read on.
The Fairest Beauty
Author: Melanie DickersonWill Release: 12. 3. 12
Sophie
desperately wants to get away from her stepmother's jealousy, and
believes escape is her only chance to be happy. Then a young man named
Gabe arrives from Hagenheim Castle, claiming she is betrothed to his
older brother, and everything twists upside down. This could be Sophie's
one chance at freedom—but can she trust another person to keep her
safe?
Gabe defied his parents Rose and Wilhelm by going to find Sophie, and now he believes they had a right to worry: the giromel's inner and outer beauty has enchanted him. Though romance is impossible—she is his brother's future wife, and Gabe himself is betrothed to sone else—he promises himself he will see the mission through, no matter what. When the pair flee to the Cottage of the Seven, they find help—but also find their feelings for each other have grown. Now both must not only protect each other from the dangers around them—they must also protect their hearts.

Isn't this cover beautiful? I only recently discovered it so I have no idea how long it's been out, but I'm thunderstruck. Gorgeousness! And this looks like a totally cool retelling of Snow White! Double Score!
Nobody
Will Release: 1. 22. 13
There are people in
this world who are Nobody. No one sees them. No one notices them. They
live their lives under the radar, forgotten as soon as you turn away. That’s why they make the perfect assassins. The
Institute finds these people when they’re young and takes them away for
training. But an untrained Nobody is a threat to their organization.
And threats must be eliminated.
Sixteen-year-old Claire has been invisible her whole life, missed by the Institute’s monitoring. But now they’ve ID’ed her and send seventeen-year-old Nix to remove her. Yet the moment he lays eyes on her, he can’t make the hit. It’s as if Claire and Nix are the only people in the world for each other. And they are—because no one else ever notices them.

Ooh-la-la! Isn't this intriguing and stunning and GORGEOUS! Woot! I totally give this cover, and synopsis a thumbs up! I enjoyed Jennifer's Raised by Wolves, and I'm totally intrigued by this new one. Totally gonna check out this latest assasin book! (Is it just me or has there been a lot of those lately?)
Special Feature: Perception (w/excerpt)
Seventeen year old Zoe
Vanderveen is a GAP—a genetically altered person. She lives in the
security of a walled city on prime water-front property along side other
equally beautiful people with extended life spans. Her brother Liam is missing.
Noah Brody is a natural who lives on the outside. He leads protests against the GAPs and detests the widening chasm they’ve created between those who have and those who don’t. He doesn’t like girls like Zoe and he has good reason not to like her specifically. Zoe’s carefree life takes a traumatic turn. She’s in trouble and it turns out that Noah, the last guy on earth she should trust, is the only one who can help her.

Lee asked me to share this as a part of the release cover reveal! Doesn't this look fantastical? I think it's beautiful. The book sounds awesome as well so I'm for sure hoping to get this one in hand ASAP! As part of this special reveal I've got an awesome book excerpt for you!
I
balanced on my surfboard, right thigh burning and salt water stinging
my eyes, while the best wave of the early morning carried me like a
goddess on a pedestal to shore. My older brother Liam and I shared a
friendly competition, and it gave me a certain, blissful satisfaction
to catch the same wave and to get to shore first.
“Beat
ya!” I shouted over the noise of the crashing surf.
Seagulls
flocked and circled over us, squawking loudly, adding to the
cacophony.
The
sun glistened off Liam’s damp blond curls as he shook them out. His
eyes sparkled as his lips tugged up into a grin. “I let you win.”
“Did
not!” I smacked him playfully on the arm. “One more ride?”
Liam
unzipped his wetsuit letting the top half fall down past his waist.
He was in fine form, and I understood why all the girls raved about
him. He was responsible for a long list of broken hearts.
“I
gotta get going,” he said, lifting his board.
I
fell into stride beside him, my feet sinking into the cold, wet sand.
“So soon?”
He
nodded, the glint leaving his eyes. My lips tightened into a frown
“You’re taking off with Jackson again?”
Jackson
was my boyfriend but lately he’d been spending more time with my
brother than he had with me. It was starting to tick me off.
Liam
stared straight ahead. “Lab stuff.”
“What
are you working on?” I rushed to keep up with my brother’s long,
strong strides. He flicked his head, tossing the hair out of his eyes
but didn’t answer.
“Come
on,” I knocked into him sideways. “Tell me!”
“It’s
just stuff.”
“Just
stuff? Like what? Top CIA stuff? I know you’re smart but I think
the government has been doing a good job without your help.”
I
meant it as a joke, but Liam huffed. “It’s just stuff, okay? So
leave it.”
I
stopped short shocked that he’d snapped at me.
He
turned around and exhaled, “Zoe, I’m sorry.”
“Fine.
If you can’t tell me, you can’t tell me.”
We
resumed our trek along the beach, and I pushed back my frustration.
Liam used to include me in everything. It was always him and me
against everyone else. Him and me against Alison and Paul, aka our
mom and dad. Him and me against the surf. We were a team. When did we
start keeping secrets from each other? Rather, when did he start
keeping secrets from me?

Welcome to Cover Dazed, the new feature on my blog where I spotlight new covers from the past week! It's basically the equivalent of Cover Reveal but with a snazzy title and picture, and some fabulous blurb from yours truly! Today, on Cover Dazed I have some AMAZING new covers, that you might have already seen, maybe not. Either way prepare yourself for extraordinary art!
 |
| Across the Universe, A Million Suns and Shades of Earth by Beth Revis |
Cover Blurb: I'm kinda bummed that they redesigned the covers before Shades of Earth comes out. I feel like the original beauties (see below image) fit better. I'm not saying that I hate the new ones, but they feel more like a paperback kind of cover. I really wish they'll still come out with a matching Shades of Earth cover for the first one. The new ones fit....just not the way I imagine.

| Scarlet by Marissa Meyer |
Cover Blurb: I love this cover! It looks BEAUTIFUL with the cover for Cinder and from the blurb I've heard it will fit the story perfectly! Eeep! Must get my hands on this book! And guys...that red is beautiful. I very much approve.
Cover Blurb: Feeling Crooked? Try Sly! (ooh! It rhymes!) This cover looks uber cute! I love how it follow the pattern of the first book and the shade of green is awesome. I promise it's not a biased blurb just because green is my fav color. Can't wait to get this book....after I read Pretty Crooked. ;)
Cover Blurb: Oooooh. This looks like one of those creepy, thriller kind of books. *looks at book summary on goodreads* Well look at that. It sort of is! Haha! That's awesome. Well anyway. I love it. I think it looks totally cool with the whole frame and missing head part of the picture. Way cool. Can't wait to read the book now!
Cover Blurb: This one looks more vintage and historical and I like how they've done that. It sets it apart from some of the traditional eye-popping covers and It's really pretty. I already liked the synopsis and the cover gives it more depth and awesomeness!
And now the BEST FOR LAST!!!!!!
Guys are you ready to get CONVERGENT?!!!!!?
"Fake" Cover Blurb: I love it! It's beautiful and totally catches everything I hope the 3rd book to be! And honestly, this is EXACTLY the title I'm guessing the book will be called! So in my mind this is a perfect cover and whoever made it is one AWESOME-TASTIC person. What are you thoughts? Title? Fake Cover?
