Cover Lover – 6 New Titles

In doing my usual cover hunt, I came across 6 more to post. Oh, and for any that haven’t heard, the big cover reveal for Veronica Roth‘s third Divergent book, Allegiant, will be done on May 9th – on the Today Show. With Ryan Seacrest. Huh.

This first cover is from Christina Henry and her Black Wings series. Black Heart will be released on October 29th.

I am not sure about this one. I enjoy Dani Harper‘s Wolf Shifter series, and I am looking forward to trying both of the new series she is starting up this fall. But this cover for the first book in the Grim series is a bit different. Not sure about the giant Mastiff or the funky tattoo, but I will be grabbing Storm Warrior when it is released on August 6th.

The third and final book in Marie Lu‘s very popular Legend series, Champion, will be released on November 5th.

Sophie Jordan starts a new series next March called Uninvited. The first book, also called Uninvited, features a heroine who loses everything when she is found to carry the gene that will one day make her a killer.

The credit for finding these next two goes to Aurora B., who emailed them to me today. Hell Bent is the much anticipated first book of Devon Monk‘s Allie Beckstrom spin-off series, Broken Magic, which will be released on November 5th.

And finally for today is Lauren Dane‘s Wild Darkness, the Bound by Magick book which is due out on November 5th.

 

New Release Info…

It is time again for a double-check on all of the authors listed in the Series Reading List pages. I have finished A-D, and between that and a random search there were a couple of interesting things I came across…

• There is some Kresley Cole news that I was happy to hear. Book two of her YA Arcana Chronicles series, Endless Night, will be coming out on October 1st, and the second Dacians book (title TBA) will be released on December 3rd.

Here is the blurb for Endless Night, and by the sounds of it things are about to get very interesting…

          In the second book of the Arcana Chronicles Evie has now fully come into her powers as the tarot Empress. And Jackson was there to see it all. In the aftermath of killing Arthur, the tarot Alchemist, Evie realizes that a war is brewing between the other teens that, following the apocalypse, have been given powers and its kill or be killed. Things get even more complicated when Evie meets Death, the mysterious, sexy Endless Knight. Somehow the Empress and Death share a romantic history – one that Evie can’t remember, but Death can’t forget. She is drawn to the Endless Knight, but is in love with Jack. Determined to discover why she’s been granted these powers, Evie struggles to accept her place in a prophecy that will either save the world, or completely destroy it.

Cover Lover – Mega Edition

Wow, there has been a ton of book covers released in the last few days, most of which I got from either Goodreads or Amazon.  This first one is Black City from Christina Henry, the fifth book in the Madeline Black series, which is due out on February 26th.

I forgot to up this one last cover lover post.  Demon Hunting in a Dive Bar is the third book in Lexi George‘s Demon series, due out next February.

This first young adult cover is from the popular Morganville Vampires series.  Rachel Caine will release Fall of Night on May 7th.

Devon Monk may be wrapping up her Allie Beckstrom series, but the Age of Steam series is still going strong.  Cold Copper will be out on July 2nd.

The third book of Lynn Viehl‘s Lords of the Darkyn series, Nightbound, will be released on May 7th.

M.J. Scott‘s Half Light City series continues on April 2nd with the release of the third book, Iron Kin.

Emerald Green is the title of the third and final book in Kerstin Gier‘s Edelstein Trilogy, which is due out sometime next year.

The next Arcadia Bell novel from Jenn Bennett is called Binding the Shadows, and it will be available on May 28th.

It looks like the upcoming anthology, Enthralled, will feature a story from Lora Leigh‘s Breeds series.  There are also stories from Alyssa Day, Meljean Brook, and Lucy Monroe.  Look for it on July 2nd.

The first book from Ann Aguirre‘s (writing as A.A. Aguirre) upcoming Apparatus Infernum series, Bronze Gods, now has a cover.  It will be released on April 30th.

It looks like there was a novella from the Sharie Kohler Moon Chasers series that I totally missed.  Darkest Temptation was released on October 30th.

And finally, the cover has been released for the second book in Bec McMaster‘s London Steampunk series.  Heart of Iron will be out on May 7th.

There were a few more, but they haven’t really been put “out there” yet, so I am holding back a bit.  Which one or ones did you like from this batch?  Any that you can’t wait to get your hands on?

Cover Lover – 10 New Titles

As I must say lately, I raided All Things Urban Fantasy for most of these.  I must be off my game, ’cause I didn’t find much on my own this time around.  Shana Abe will be releasing her first young adult title, The Sweetest Dark, this August 21st.

Cynthia Garner follows up her recent Secret of the Wolf with The Heart of the Demon, the third book in her Warriors of the Rift series.  It is due out later this year.

The next Black Wings novel from Christina Henry, Black Lament, will be released on October 30th.

Gail Carriger will start her new Finishing School series later this year with the release of Etiquette and Espionage.  This one is a young adult release.  I like the look of this – much better than the Parasol Protectorate series ones, anyways.

The next one is from author Tessa Gratton.  The Blood Keeper is the second book in her Blood Journals series, due out on August 28th.

There has been a bit of a design change for this one.  The second book from Elizabeth Miles‘ The Fury Trilogy, Envy, is going for a bit of a softer look than the first book.  This one is due out on September 4th.

I saw this one a while back, but completely forgot about it.  Lou Morgan‘s Blood and Feathers is a July 31st release.

Next up is one from Kim Harrison.  Apparently, Into the Woods is connected to her Rachel Morgan series, as I understand it it is a collection of short stories set in that world.  It will be available on October 9th.

This one is the follow up to Suzanne Johnson‘s Royal Street, called River Road.  This one is due out on November 13th.

And finally, this one is the cover for Two Weeks’ Notice, the second book in Rachel Caine‘s the Revivalist series, due out on August 7th.
