We're getting treated to all sorts of TMI awesomeness today! Cassie just posted the cover reveal for THE SHADOWHUNTER'S CODEX featured today on Hollywood Crush!! CHECK OUT THIS COVER!


Hollywood Crush had this to say:


Fans will surely recognize the winged figure as Raziel (creator of the Shadowhunter race), pictured here with the infamous mortal instruments. The Codex, referenced in both "The Mortal Instruments" and "The Internal Devices" is the official guidebook to the world of Shadowhunters. Through Clary's copy, readers will become privy to the warriors' history, demon taxonomy, rune catalog and training manual, among many other tidbits. Clary's drawings and notes are also included!
The volume will be published in October, but in the mean time, you can keep up with all things nephilim by downloading Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunters app, which tracks news and announcements and serves up exclusive content!

You guys read that right. A Shadowhunter app! That is so awesome! I'll have more on that in a bit. In the mean time you can  PRE-ORDER it now from Amazon for $19.99!

What do you guys think of the cover?

Blog Tour: Shadows in the Silence, A Behind the Scenes Look at Making The Cover


Welcome to today promotion blog tour for Shadows in the Silence, hosted by Page Turners. Today I'm thrilled to share a behind the scenes look at making the cover for Courtney's book. First, here's a little bit about Shadows in the Silence.


Your strength in heart and hand will fall. . . .
 

Ellie knows that the darkest moments are still to come, and she has everything to fight for:

She must fight for Will.
 

The demonic have resorted to their cruelest weapons to put Will in mortal danger, and Ellie makes an unlikely alliance to save him and to stop Lilith and Sammael, who seek to drown the world in blood and tear a hole into Heaven.

She must fight for humanity.
 

As the armies of Hell rise and gather for the looming End of Days, Ellie and her band of allies travel to the world’s darkest and most ancient regions in her quest to come into her full glory as the archangel Gabriel.

And Ellie must save herself.
 

Her humanity withers beneath the weight of her cold archangel power, but Ellie must hold tight to who she is and who she loves as she prepares for the ultimate battle for Heaven and Earth.

In this final installment in the Angelfire trilogy, Courtney Allison Moulton brings her dark world of epic battles and blistering romance to a blazing bright conclusion.

Behind-the-scenes Look at the Angelfire Covers

Although I wasn't able to attend the Angelfire cover shoot, shot by the unbelievably amazing photographer Amber Gray, my editor was there and texted me these pictures! You can see how much the giant set they built transformed into each of the three covers. Talk about some talent in the Katherine Tegen Books art department - and they don't get much more fierce than Ellie's model here! Another cool tidbit: models from America's Next Top Model and Project Runway showed up at the casting call!

Two people couldn't be more opposite... 

Kellen Peterson, the gorgeous star quarterback of the Griffin High football team, seems to have it all. Until the night of the Homecoming game, when Kellen gets tackled and suffers a traumatic brain injury - an injury that changes his life - including his ability to walk, talk and throw a football. 

Ivy Ly is a senior and counting down the days until she can escape to college. Though her parents have big plans for her to be a doctor, Ivy is afraid to tell them she'd rather pursue music as a career. 

Ivy's best friend, Mira, is obsessed with Kellen. When Ivy is asked to tutor the injured football player upon his return to school, she thinks it's the perfect opportunity for Mira to get to know him better - but sparks fly - in more ways than one..



I am a huge fan of Kiki's writing and I can not wait for new upcoming release, The Last Dance. That cover makes me want to go pick up the book. Aside from the cute cover, it sounds like this is going to be one of those all around great reads you can spend the afternoon reading, and enjoy every moment of it. 

To celebrate the upcoming release, Kiki is hosting a GIVEAWAY!!! Check out what you can win from Kiki:

Who Is Marcus Finch? Clue #12



Welcome to Penguin Teen's Who is Marcus Finch? two week campgain! Over the next two week's myself and a handful of other fabulous blogs will be treating you to a daily quote/teaser, giving you clues into who Marcus is. Today's clue is:


Dying to get your hands on The Indigo Spell? Be sure here to by and read an excerpt from the book before it's out. Enter to win a copy of the book HERE


In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, the Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive—this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood. -quoted from Goodreads
