Hope everyone had a great weekend! If you’re having staying in weather like me, here’s a good movie to check out. Begin Again, I love music movies and it kind of reminded me of the quality of August Rush.


Frail Mortal Heart by Zoë Marriott

Previous book(s) in series:

Goodreads | Amazon


frail-mortal-heart Series: The Name of the Blade, book 3

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon
Genre: Paranormal Young Adult

Shera’s thoughts:

Ah!! This cover is nirvana. Love how the dragon is snaking around both of them (Even if the dragon’s head is tacky.)

Just look at this cover. How can you say no.

Grave Phantoms by Jenn Benett

Previous book(s) in series:

Goodreads | Amazon


grave-phantoms Series: Roaring Twenties, book 3

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Shera’s thoughts:

The covers for this series do pretty well. Covering the time period and that it’s romance. It doesn’t scream PNR, and I’m perfectly fine with that.

Sometimes ugly covers featuring half dressed people is just . . . well stupid. I’m all for smart PNR covers.

Ice Kissed by Amanda Hocking

Previous book(s) in series:

Goodreads | Amazon


ice-kissed Series: Kanin Chronicles, book 2

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon
Genre: Young Adult High Fantasy

Shera’s thoughts:

Oops, I already posted book 3 last week. Anywho, I love how they’re playing up the cloak here. )I have a weakness for cloak covers.)

First it was kind of jacket get up, then the cloak here, and all working up to that gorgeous dress on book three.

The border I awesome and I like the whole composition of this cover. Well done. They’re really building up the release of this series!

Illusionarium by Heather Dixon

Previous book(s) in series:

Goodreads | Amazon


illusionarium Series: N/A 

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon
Genre: Young Adult (Either Steampunk or some kind of Fairy tale theme?)

Shera’s thoughts:

First off it worries me that they’re calling this The Night Circus meets Pixar. That just sounds desperate.

Love the couple dress cover, especially the old school getup for both the male and female.

However, the gears don’t quite match. Worst is the typography. It’s too heavy.

Lamp Black, Wolf Grey by Paula Brackston

Previous book(s) in series:

Goodreads | Amazon


lamp-black-wolf-grey

Series: N/A 

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

Shera’s thoughts: lamp-black-wolf-grey-2

This is actually a cover makeover to go along with it’s new release. While I wish there was a wolf somewhere on there, I’m happy.

It’s simple and beautiful.

Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews

Previous book(s) in series:

Goodreads | Amazon


magic-shifts Series: Kate Daniels, book 8

Add it: Goodreads | Amazon
Genre: Urban Fantasy

Shera’s thoughts:

Oh, a new cover model? (Checks) Yeppers. Well at least it fits in well with the rest of the book!

Despite how I feel about random loin heads on the cover, I still like it.

(Does anyone wonder if they’ll ever try to put Curran’s human form on them?)
