Cover Reveal!!!

I was going to wait to post this cover reveal tomorrow, but I just couldn't stand holding back.  After reading Firespell by Chloe Neill, I was of course anxious for the sequel to come out a.s.a.p.  But in the meantime while I'm trying to learn some patience, Neill was kind enough to post the cover image for Hexbound (A Novel of the Dark Elite, Book Two)!  

Isn't the cover awesome?  I'm even more excited to read it now and am growing less impatient by the day, lol!  But until it's release in January 2011 (which seems so far away) I'll have to make due somehow.

The cover of Becca Fitzpatrick's Crescendo has been revealed!

Nora should have known her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?

I'm so excited for this book to come out so I can see what happens next in Nora's story and the cover reveal has only amped up my excitement!  

In other news Rachel Hawkins updated her blog with a post which includes some FAQs regarding Hex Hall and it's future sequels.  Careful of spoilers if you haven't read Hex Hall, but if you have she may answer some questions that have been on the brain, click here to see her post.

I managed to finish not one but two of the books I've been reading this weekend so be sure to check back to see my reviews later this week for Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater and The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima.

Becca's website posted the following:

Clockwork Angel Cover Unveiled!

Clockwork Angel Cover Unveiled!!

 

Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still.

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club; Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.
