Shera’s thoughts:

Very cool cover for the series. Clearly Shai is tapping into some of her “wilder” side.

Sleeping with a vampire agrees with her.

Shera’s thoughts:

I love PNR covers that feature the couple together. While their dreamy gazing into each other's eyes creeps me out, I like everything else.

Except that tacky leather vest, gosh it’s horrid.

Shera’s thoughts:

Finally this series gets some decent covers. Honestly I wonder what took the so long to let the cover artist who does the amazing covers for Singh’s Guild Hunters books.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Shera’s thoughts:

Simply love it. Step up from the last cover (want can I say I hate it when they try to make my favorite kick ass covers into fan service). Not sure who if this is Gin or not, I’m thinking sister maybe.

Anywho, my favorite cover featuring a shovel!

Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1)Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, #2)Magic Strikes (Kate Daniels, #3)Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, #4)Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5)Gunmetal Magic (Kate Daniels World, #1)


magic-rises Series: Kate Daniels, book

Shera’s thoughts:

The Kate Daniels’ covers are really cool, but there’s just something about them that always makes them look off.

Magic Rises looks A-mazing. Finally a Kate Daniels’ cover that I can look at and not keep thing that there’s just something slightly off. Love the flames, the loin blends it pretty well.

(Though, is that a new cover model?)

Night’s Mistress by Amanda Ashley

Previous book(s) in series:

Night's Kiss (Children of The Night, #1)Night's Touch (Children of The Night, #2)Night's Master (Children of The Night, #3)Night's Pleasure (Children of The Night, #4)

Shera’s thoughts:

The first cover of this series is so sexy! Then after that each new cover was just kind of a slap in the face.

This one is nice, but I think I’m just tired of the “gorgeous dress covers will be fine”.

Let’s move on, or if you’re going to use a trop make it unique.
