The Rules: Choose a cover (or two, or three), preferably new-ish, and share what you like about it. Grab my graphic or don’t (just so long as you link back). I’ll be posting Cover Love every Monday but feel free to post yours on whatever day works best for you.
My Picks:
 |
||
| The big ass tree and its root structure are impressive to look at.
I like that the font’s texture is woodsy; it really fits the title. I have a “thing” for creepy forests and this cover definitely fits the bill! |

| Into The Woods: Tales from the Hollows and Beyond by Kim Harrison October 9, 2012     |
||
 |
||
| The purple, red and aqua colors are very complimentary and make this cover really stand out.
I like the wicked magic effects; it’s obvious that this chick is truly badass! I like the way that the girl is standing. She looks really into it. |

| Sin’s Dark Caress by Tracey O’Hara July 31, 2012 |
||
| An ancient darkness has risen from the ashes…and terror has been loosed upon an unsuspecting world.
Forensic witch Bianca Sin has never seen anything like it: homeless teenage girls torn to pieces by dark magic in the cold shadows of the city. More terrifying still is the symbol written in blood on an alley wall—the unmistakable seal of the Dark Brethren. Teaming up with NYPD homicide detective Lancelot McManus and an elite task force headed by the shapeshifter Oberon DuPrie, Bianca knows her worse fears have finally come to pass. A new war of annihilation is looming that will plunge the worlds of vampire, shapeshifter, and human into chaos—and two adversarial tribes locked in uneasy truce will need to take up arms together to save the children. Trust will be essential for Sin and McManus, as the hunt forces them to confront their deepest terrors. For the ultimate evil is no longer approaching. It’s here. |

| This cover has a sort of amazon-ish feel to it that I’m really diggin’
I seem to be on a forest craze this week. Two out of the three covers I picked feature trees! The flaming torch, magic wand, weapon thing-a-ma-jig looks like it kicks butt. |

| River Road by Suzanne Johnson November 13, 2012 |
||
| Hurricane Katrina is long gone, but the preternatural storm rages on in New Orleans. New species from the Beyond moved into Louisiana after the hurricane destroyed the borders between worlds, and it falls to wizard sentinel Drusilla Jaco and her partner, Alex Warin, to keep the preternaturals peaceful and the humans unaware. But a war is brewing between two clans of Cajun merpeople in Plaquemines Parish, and down in the swamp, DJ learns, there’s more stirring than angry mermen and the threat of a were-gator.
Wizards are dying, and something—or someone—from the Beyond is poisoning the waters of the mighty Mississippi, threatening the humans who live and work along the river. DJ and Alex must figure out what unearthly source is contaminating the water and who—or what—is killing the wizards. Is it a malcontented merman, the naughty nymph, or some other critter altogether? After all, DJ’s undead suitor, the pirate Jean Lafitte, knows his way around a body or two. It’s anything but smooth sailing on the bayou as the Sentinels of New Orleans series continues. |

@Mariann Haha, you’re not blind! It looks like blogger spasmed a bit and didn’t auto-save my post so there was a mix of last week’s post with this week’s. It’s been fixed, thanks for pointing it out. 😛
