Cover Reveal: Origin (Lux #4) by Jennifer L Armentrout

Sooo today, I have the honour of revealing the very SEXY cover for Jennifer L Armentrout's ORIGIN, the fourth Lux book, which will be released 27th August 2013 by Entangled Teen.

WARNING: The cover is panty-droppingly HOT so tread with caution. Make sure you're in a secluded room, away from everyone because you won't be able to contain your excitement and your squeals will probably deafen all those within a 50km radius. Also, please try not to hurt yourself or break anything when you're jumping up and down with your arms flailing in the air.

Now...behold, the sexiest YA book cover of the year...:

GOODREADS // AMAZON // BARNES & NOBLE

Daemon will do anything to get Katy back. 
After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure. 

All Katy can do is survive.

 Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen? 

Together, they can face anything.

 But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? And will they even be together?

ISN'T DAEMON JUST GORGEOUS?<33333  I hope all of you are safe and haven't melted into a puddle of goo!

I think the cover's really different from the previous three books. I was actually surprised when I saw it in my inbox this morning, but I definitely love it!<3

What do you think of the cover? :)

Cover Reveal: Wait for You by J. Lynn

Hey guys! Today, I'm thrilled to be sharing with you the cover of WAIT FOR YOU by J Lynn! I've been reading rave reviews for it over the past week (so apparently Cam has surpassed Aiden in many blogger's hearts? NO. FREAKING.WAY. You know what this means? I NEED TO READ WAIT FOR YOU IMMEDIATELY!!) 

What do early readers have to say about WAIT FOR YOU?

“J. Lynn creates a wonderful cast of characters that will make you laugh, swoon, and cry. Cam stole my heart.” – Cora Carmack, NYTimes and USA TODAY Bestselling Author of LOSING IT

“For the love of all that is Cameron without a shirt on! Wait for You will have you laughing out loud, fanning yourself and anxiously waiting to know what will happen next.” – Molly McAdams, NYTimes and USA TODAY Bestselling Author of FROM ASHES and TAKING CHANCES

“I don't think I have ever read a NA Contemporary novel with as much depth as this one. It really moved me and by the end I was just speechless over how inspirational and uplifting it was as well as being sexy and cute and funny and emotional.” - K Books

“Wait For You is uniquely different from anything else J. Lynn's written but it might possibly be her best work yet.” – Jenuine Cupcakes

Excited? Ready to see the cover for WAIT FOR YOU?

Some things are worth waiting for…

Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery

Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever

changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her

left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few

friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never

planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s

building for herself.

Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of

striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably

stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with

his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with

him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around

each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet…

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she

wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her

to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she

resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down

with her?

And some things are worth fighting for…

WAIT FOR YOU is available now!

Cover Reveal: Faking It by Cora Carmack

Hey guys! I'm thrilled to be taking part in the cover reveal for Cora Carmack's newest novel, Faking It, companion novel to Losing It. I'm sure you've all heard of Losing It, right? (If you haven't, shame on you!!) The cover for Losing It is so delicious and swoon-worthy (Garrick is HOT) and looks like the cover for Faking It can rival the hotness of the first book :)

Check out the cover below! <3

Faking It

by Cora Carmack

Published by William Morrow Paperbacks

on June 4th, 2013

Mackenzie "Max" Miller has a problem. Her parents have arrived in town for a surprise visit, and if they see her dyed hair, tattoos, and piercings, they just might disown her. Even worse, they're expecting to meet a nice, wholesome boyfriend, not a guy named Mace who has a neck tattoo and plays in a band. All her lies are about to come crashing down around her, but then she meets Cade.  

Cade moved to Philadelphia to act and to leave his problems behind in Texas. So far though, he's kept the problems and had very little opportunity to take the stage. When Max approaches him in a coffee shop with a crazy request to pretend to be her boyfriend, he agrees to play the part. But when Cade plays the role a little too well, they're forced to keep the ruse going. And the more they fake the relationship, the more real it begins to feel.

I have to admit, I think I like the cover of Losing It a tiny bit better, mainly because I think Garrick is hotter :D 

What do you think of cover? :)

If you haven't read Losing It yet, make sure you rectify that ASAP! The paperback will be released in the US on 26th February :) Don't miss out!

Also, if you love contests, Cora is hosting a Love Letter contest where you have the chance to win a signed copy of Losing It and other extras! Be sure to enter :)

[Aus] Cover Reveal : Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff

HEYY EVERYONE<333 Did you all miss me? heheee :) Sorry for not posting for the last two weeks; I had some very important exams/speeches/assignments etc. to do (and they all count towards my HSC soo...I decided I had better put some effort :D) Unfortunately, spending so much time studying meant I neglected my reading pile :( BUT most of my exams are done now (WOOHOO) and though I still have a few more coming up, they're all spread out over the next few weeks, which means, I HAVE TIME TO READ AND BLOG :D

Anyway, I'm here to reveal the AUS cover of STORMDANCER by Jay Kristoff! 

Stormdancer

by Jay Kristoff

Published by Pan Macmillan Australia

on 21st August 2012 

A DYING LAND 

The Shima Imperium is verging on the brink of environmental collapse; decimated by 

clockwork industrialization and the machine-worshippers of the Lotus Guild. The skies are red 

as blood, land choked with toxic pollution, wildlife ravaged by mass extinctions.

AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST 

The hunters of the imperial court are charged by their Shōgun to capture a thunder tiger – a 

legendary beast, half-eagle, half-tiger. But any fool knows thunder tigers have been extinct for 

more than a century, and the price of failing the Shōgun is death.

A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL 

Yukiko is a child of the Fox clan, possessed of a hidden gift that would see her executed by the 

Lotus Guild. Accompanying her father on the Shōgun’s hunt, she finds herself stranded: a 

young woman alone in Shima’s last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled thunder tiger for 

company. Even though she can hear his thoughts, even though she saved his life, all she knows 

for certain is he’d rather see her dead than help her.

But together, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to challenge the might of 

an empire

It's the same as the UK cover, as I'm sure you've all realised :) I'm actually in love with BOTH the UK/AUS and US covers :) So, my plan is to purchase copies of both versions and then collect the rest of the series and have them ALL on my shelf :) hehee <3

Cover Reveal: Greta and the Goblin King

Greta and the Goblin King

Book 1 of The Mylena Chronicles

by Chloe Jacobs

Released 13th November 2012 

Published by Entangled Publishing

Blurb:

While trying to save her brother four years ago, Greta was thrown into the witch’s fire herself, falling through a portal to a dangerous world where humans are the enemy, and every ogre, goblin, and ghoul has a dark side that comes out with the full moon.

To survive, seventeen-year-old Greta has hidden her humanity and taken the job of bounty hunter—and she’s good at what she does. So good, she’s caught the attention of Mylena’s young Goblin King, the darkly enticing Isaac, who invades her dreams and undermines her determination to escape.

But Greta’s not the only one looking to get out of Mylena. The full moon is mere days away, and an ancient evil knows she’s the key to opening the portal. If Greta fails, she and the lost boys of Mylena will die. If she succeeds, no world will be safe from what follows her back…

Well...this certainly sounds fairy-tale-like! And since I LOVE anything fairy-tale related, I have a feeling I'll enjoy this book!<3 The cover actually reminds me a little of MG book covers, but I still really like it!

What do you think of the cover and/or blurb? Like it? Love it? Looking forward to its release? :D

Cover Reveal: Astarte's Wrath by Trisha Wolfe

Astarte's Wrath 

A Kythan Guardians Novella,

Prequal to Destiny's Fire

by Trisha Wolfe

Released July 2012

Blurb:

Two thousand years before Dez Harkly developed her secret powers, Kythan Astarte vowed to free the Kythans from the binds that enslaved them to the Egyptian pharaohs and sorcerers. Discover the prophecy that originated from a very different time, and spans generations to link two very different girls...This is the beginning.  

 

Set against the backdrop of the Battle of Actium, in the city of Alexandria, Star struggles with her guardian duties as her feelings for the newly named pharaoh of Egypt grow deeper. Not only is Caesarian her duty, he's the son of Cleopatra, and he's…human. All of which makes their love forbidden.  

 

But when a conspiracy linked to Caesar, Caesarian's own father, creeps its ways into Alexandria, Star must choose between helping her fellow Kythans free themselves of their servitude, or protecting her charge--the last pharaoh--while Egypt burns around her.

W.O.W I don't know if I'm seeing things, but ARE THOSE SNAKES?!! Or maybe they're snake-looking accessories! I mean, the Egyptians had all sorta of incredibly er..strange but impressive ornaments. But seriously, I LOVE the cover! 

Anddd..here's an excerpt :)

Whenever the sky bleeds, covering the once-blue pallet with crimson, and the bright ball of fire burns through billowy puffs of white, staining them and the earth in hues of red-orange and amber…and ash floats on a non-existent breeze, I know the Narcolym Guardians are waging a battle.           

Shuttering my window, I unloose the hemp thread, and a sheer curtain veils the sand-covered horizon from my vision. My fingers trail the cream fabric, the tips tracing the darkening clouds against the light material as my other hand curls into a fist by my thigh, dousing the swirling vortex rising up at the charge in the air.            

“Star…?”           

 Astarte, I correct inwardly, but pinch my lips closed. “Yes, Habi?”           

Habi's footsteps echo throughout the mud-brick room as he approaches. “It's time…”

I'll admit; all these different names are confusing, BUT how amazing does it sound? I WANT MORE!

What do you think of the cover & excerpt? :D

Cover Reveal: Pretty Amy by Lisa Burstein

Pretty Amy 

by Lisa Burstein

Released May 15th 2012, 

by Entangled Publishing 

Blurb:

Amy is fine living in the shadows of beautiful Lila and uber-cool Cassie, because at least she’s somewhat beautiful and uber-cool by association. But when their dates stand them up for prom, and the girls take matters into their own hands—earning them a night in jail outfitted in satin, stilettos, and Spanx—Amy discovers even a prom spent in handcuffs might be better than the humiliating “rehabilitation techniques” now filling up her summer. Worse, with Lila and Cassie parentally banned, Amy feels like she has nothing—like she is nothing.

Navigating unlikely alliances with her new coworker, two very different boys, and possibly even her parents, Amy struggles to decide if it’s worth being a best friend when it makes you a public enemy. Bringing readers along on an often hilarious and heartwarming journey, Amy finds that maybe getting a life only happens once you think your life is over.

Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Lisa Burstein is a tea seller by day and a writer by night. She wrote her first story when she was in second grade. It was a Thanksgiving tale from the point of view of the turkey from freezer to oven to plate. It was scandalous.
She was a lot like Amy when she was in high school.
She is still a lot like Amy.

Check out Lisa's junior prom photo! <3

Also, in addition to the PRETTY AMY cover reveal, there will be a Worst Prom Photo contest in the weeks leading up to AMY's release on May 15. So make sure to dust off your old prom photos—the more tulle, bows, and big hair the better!—and watch Lisa's site, for details on how to submit/enter to win a beauty package. 

Hmm...is it just me, or does the cover look a bit like Serena Van der Woodson (Blake Lively) from afar? :P


What do you think of the cover? :D

Cover Reveal: Luminosity by Stephanie Thomas.

Luminosity

by Stephanie Thomas

Released: September 2012

by Entangled Publishing 

Blurb:

"My name is Beatrice. When I was born, I was blessed with the Sight. I was
immediately removed from my parents and enrolled in the Institution. At
the age of twelve, I had my first true vision, earning my raven’s wings.
And when I turned seventeen, one of my visions came true. Things haven’t
been the same since.

The Institution depends on me to keep the City safe from our enemy, the
Dreamcatchers, but I’m finding it harder to do while keeping a secret from
everyone, including my best friend Gabe. It is a secret that could put us
all in danger. A secret that could kill me and everyone close to me.

But the enemy has been coming to me in my dreams, and I think I’m falling
in love with him. He says they’re coming. He says they’re angry. And I
think I’ve already helped them win."

Goodreads | Amazon

WOW.

LOOK AT THAT GORGEOUS COVER! AND THE EYE MAKE-UP!

I'm so intrigued by this "Sight" and the visions she's having! Plus...I LOVE books where the heroine falls in love with the enemy! Sooo excited for this <3

Cover Reveal: INBETWEEN (Kissed by Death) #1 by Tara Fuller

Inbetween (Kissed by Death #1)

by Tara Fuller

Released August 2012, 

from Entangled Publishing 

Blurb:

Since the car crash that took her father’s life three years ago, Emma’s
life has been a freaky—and unending—lesson in caution. Surviving
“accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so
Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling
in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who
makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option.

It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate
has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him
hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn't let her die before,
and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves
from the evil he accidentally unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the
only thing he has left…his soul.

Goodreads | Amazon

Like it? LOVE it? Intrigued by the blurb? ('cuz I AM! There needs to be more reaper stories out there!) I've no doubt this will be AMAZING; I mean, Entangled Publishing publishes the best books ever, right!?
