Last week there were a few cover reveals and all I have to say is AWESOME covers! Harper Teen has done a fabulous job with their covers, and keeping those in a series similar. I love that. Here's the covers that were revealed:
Veronica Rossi revealed her lovely cover for her sequel to Under the Never Sky, Through the Ever Night. Say hi to PERRY! Seriously, this cover makes you wish you could go pick up the book doesn't!?! Here's a little bit about the book's cover per Veronica's cover reveal post:
Some of you might notice that Perry got a hair cut. Truth is, it's near impossible to find someone with the hair I picture for Per, which can best be described as post-apocalyptic surf-shag? I think he looks pretty good with shorter hair, too.
Veronica mentioned her short story about Roar and Liv *dances around with excitement*
I'm almost finished with my first draft of the Roar and Liv short story and I'm really, really starting to wish it were a full-length book. There's something about Roar that's so fun and interesting to me--not to mention that his love for Perry and Liv is pretty darn disarming. I have absolutely loved being in his point of view and I can't wait to share this short piece with you. Stay tuned for more details!
Through the Ever Night will be out on January 8th, 2013 from Harper Teen! You can add it to your Goodreads lists here.
The third and final installment in Lauren Oliver's Delirium trilogy, REQUIEM, was revealed a few days ago. Check out this lovely cover! I seriously love the covers in this series, and how each book's cover compliment each other. I also love it when a book series's covers match.
Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight. Of Pandemonium, ALA Booklist noted that “like all successful second volumes, this expands the world and ups the stakes, setting us up for the big finale.”
After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge. -quoted from Goodreads
Requiem will be hitting bookshelves on March 5th, 2013. Add it to your Goodreads lists here.
The fourth installment to the Body Finder series, DEAD SILENCE was revealed this past week on Kimberly's blog. These covers are just as fabulous as Kimberly's books! I think this might be my favorite cover out of the series! I love how that little bit of light shows through the petals. DEAD SILENCE will be released by Harper Teen on April 16th, 2013.
The Forsaken by debut author Lisa M Stasse (published by Simon & Schuster), is hitting book store shelves on July 10th, 2012, saw it's book trailer reveal this past week. Before you watch the awesome trailer, here's a little bit about the book:
A thought-provoking and exciting start to a riveting new dystopian trilogy.
As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet—having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up.
The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway.

Look for my review and interview with Lisa to be up within the next two weeks.
What do you guys think of the covers?

I'm really excited to read the Forsaken. The cover is awesome and it sounds great, too. And, of course, I cannot wait to read Dead Silence, as well as Requiem. Thanks for sharing the description for Requiem; it's the first time I've seen it. :-) And I might have to give Under the Never Sky another try because the cover for the sequel is great!
ReplyDeleteYOu are so welcome! I'm excited about FORSAKEN as well! It sounds like a fabulous debut. Kimberly series is one of my favorites. You have to pick up Under the Never Sky! It was one of my favorites from last year. Veronica's writing is amazing.
DeleteI wish that Requiem and Pandamonium had covers like the first book. I didn't like that they changed them. I like that we get to see Hana more! That is exciting!
ReplyDeleteKami- I usually don't like cover changes either, but I really like what they did with the new covers. It does stink when they change covers after the first book is already published.
ReplyDeleteYum...Perry..that is all =)
