Do not adjust your screen! That is not a typo (not even a transposition), 32 cover reveals this week. As if this Tuesday’s batch of new releases wasn’t excitement enough, now I’m breathless with anticipation for the end of this year and beyond. Gorgeous covers to continue A Beautiful Dark, World of the Lupi, and Guild Hunter series as well as several new faces that I’m intrigued to pick up. The pen-and-ink style of both MOCKINGBIRD and the Fever graphic novel have me sold, how about you?

| That switchblade (I’m ashamed to say), looked like a tiny light saber to me at first glance. That in no way detracts from my enjoyment of these menacing and trippy covers. | I’m so creeped out and enthralled by her hair turning into ravens and skulls, and hands, and I don’t even know…trippy |

Luminosity by Stephanie Thomas

Description: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. 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.

Description:“Love is just the beginning… of the end.”
Mason Starling is a champion fencer for Gosforth Academy, but she’s never had to fight for her life. Until now. When a ferocious storm rips through Manhattan and unleashes terrifying creatures onto Gosforth’s campus, Mason barely escapes alive. Without help from the mysterious stranger who appeared in the midst of the storm, she might not have made it at all. But now, in the aftermath, Mason’s life begins to spin dramatically, mystically out of control, and the only one who seems able to help her is the stranger who can remember nothing but his name: Fennrys Wolf.

Description:When she wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings, Skye knows something terrible has happened to her. But it’s not until she hears Asher, the dark, rebellious angel she fell in love with, that the memories of Devin and his shocking betrayal come flooding back.
Skye returns home, but with the knowledge of who she really is, nothing can ever be the same. As she tests the limits of her newfound powers, Skye discovers that she’s capable of far more than anyone could have imagined. Both the Order and the Rebellion want her for their side as war between the factions looms. She can’t forgive the Order for nearly killing her, but something holds her back from embracing the Rebellion. A Fractured Light picks up right after A Beautiful Dark‘s shocking cliffhanger ending and is perfect for fans of Lauren Kate’s Fallen and Becca Fitzpatrick’s Hush, Hush saga.

Description:Tasked by the Archangel Gabriel, Jackie Brighton must find two more lost archangel halos before she’s free of her deal. But she’s not the only one hunting for the immense power the halos bring, and everyone around her has motives – succubi, serim, and vampire. It’s a race to the finish line, and only one person is going to come out on top.
But will Jackie stand tall when even her allies are set to betray her? Noah Gideon is back, and he’s never liked taking ‘no’ for an answer. The mysterious assassin Sophie is helping out, but Sophie has her own agenda. And so does Jackie’s newest rival, the ancient hetaera Phryne, who wants to use the halos to give a new world to succubi everywhere – one that doesn’t involve their masters. Every immortal wants those halos, but Jackie’s not sure they’re worth her life, or Zane’s freedom. But she might not have a choice…

| The halo in the title and the colors bring to mind BLOOD BOUND, though this one is a bit more start. I could have lived without the brassy hair, but I like the cover models. | What a disappointment. Obviously the author has chosen to forge ahead and release this herself without the aid of the Pocket Art Department that created the previous smokin’ hot covers…and it shows. This just looks cheap and tacky by comparison. Too bad because the books are fun. |

Description:Nothing ever happens in Norway. But at least Ellie knows what to expect when she visits her grandmother: a tranquil fishing village and long, slow summer days. And maybe she’ll finally get out from under the shadow of her way-too-perfect big brother, Graham, while she’s there.
What Ellie doesn’t anticipate is Graham’s infuriating best friend, Tuck, tagging along for the trip. Nor did she imagine boys going missing amid rumors of impossible kidnappings. Least of all does she expect something powerful and ancient to awaken in her and that strange whispers would urge Ellie to claim her place among mythological warriors. Instead of peace and quiet, there’s suddenly there’s a lot for a girl from L.A. to handle on a summer sojourn in Norway! More…

Description:FBI agent Lily Yu is living at Nokolai Clanhome with her fiancé, lupi Rule Turner, when an intruder penetrates their territory, stealing the prototype of a magical device the clan hopes will be worth a fortune–if a few bugs can be worked out . . .
But the prototype can be dangerously erratic, discharging a bizarre form of mind magic—and it looks like the thief wants it for that very side effect. Worse, whoever stole the device didn’t learn about it by accident. There’s a Nokolai traitor in their midst. Lily and Rule have to find the traitor, the thief, and the prototype. One job proves easy when the thief calls them–and his identity rocks Rule’s world. As they race to recover their missing property, they find Robert Friar’s sticky footprints all over the place. Robert Friar―killer, madman, and acolyte of the Old One the Lupi are at war with―an Old One whose power is almost as vast as her ambition to rock the entire world . . .

In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable—they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection, that causes Ash’s long dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too strong. When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.

In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky – taken by the Society to his certain death – only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake. Cassia’s quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia nears resolve and certainty about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander – who may hold the key to the uprising and, still, to Cassia’s heart – change the game once again. Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.

A lot of great covers this week! I love Valkyrie Rising and Linked and Black City covers. Can't wait to read them.
NC
Truly Bookish
Really don't care what the cover for Succubi Are Forever looks like. I'm simply happy that Jill Myles has decided to self-publish the sequel instead of letting the series die when her publisher decided to drop it. So, draw stick figures on the cover for all I care…just so happy to be getting the final story!
I'm with you on that. I love that authors are continuing their series even when the pub lets them go (Carolyn Crane is a recent example). I just which the cover had been stronger since I'm sure the story is.
Some great covers there. I'm a big fan of good, interesting, beautiful covers, especially in the urban fantasy genre.
As always, some amazing covers this week! I have several favorites in this batch. I have to say the covers for BLACK CITY and LINKED are striking.
For some reason the Dark Currents cover reminds me of Meljean Brook's Demon Marked.
Yes! I knew it looked familiar: http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1311703262l/10599649.jpg
Love the coloring of Succubi are Forever, wow!
Those two are pretty popular and I think the style is complementary. Both have the eye putting pieces back together…
VALKYRIE RISING snuck up on me, too. At first glance all I saw was the YA cover model, it took me a moment to put together all the supporting elements. Same effect with BLACK CITY, I didn't see the rose at first.
