Cover Art Reveal and Giveaway | The Defiance (Brilliant Darkness, #2) by A.G. Henley

Posted on by Jess (The Cozy Reader)

It is my pleasure to share with you the cover to a much anticipated sequel by A.G. Henley! THE DEFIANCE is book two of her Brilliant Darkness series. The first book, THE SCROUGE, was one of my most favorite books last year.
You can read my review of THE SCROUGE from the Blog Tour I participated in (and enter to win the entire series below!). At $2.99 (Amazon.com) that’s an  incredible deal for an amazing book. THE SCROUGE was a 2013 Next Generation Indie Book Award Finalist.

Without further ado, here is the cover to THE DEFIANCE, due to publish July 29th, 2013!

Defiance

Summary

Suspicion Trust. Fear Compassion. Hate Love.

Fennel and Peree learned the truth: the Scourge, and their world, is not what it seems. Now they need to convince their people that everything they believe is a lie.

An impossible task, especially when someone seems resolved to try anything—even arson and butchery—to destroy Fenn and Peree’s new bond and crush the frail truce between the Groundlings and the Lofties.

Unable to tell friend from foe and with the Scourge pushing both groups to the breaking point, Fenn must again decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to ensure the people of the forest’s future.

Only this time, the price of peace may be too high to bear.

Connect with A.G. Henley

A.G. Henley is the author of the young adult novel, THE SCOURGE. She is also a clinical psychologist, which means people either tell her their life stories on airplanes, or avoid her at parties when they’ve had too much to drink. Neither of which she minds. When she’s not writing fiction or shrinking heads, she can be found herding her children and their scruffy dog, Guapo, to various activities while trying to remember whatever she’s inevitably forgotten to tell her husband. She lives in Denver, Colorado.

Therefore, one winner will receive a Kindle edition of all three of A.G.’s Brilliant Darkness publications!

That includes: The Scrouge (Brilliant Darkness, #1), The Keeper (#1.5) and The Defiance (#2) (pre-ordered once available)!

I just HAD to share this gorgeous cover art with you!

Shannon Messenger revealed it just today!


Let the Sky Fall (untitle series, #1) by Shannon Messenger

March 2013 by Simon Pulse

Summary (Goodreads)

Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston is the only survivor of the category five tornado that killed his parents. Every night since the storm, a beautiful, dark-haired girl has swept through his dreams. She’s the only clue to his past, and he clings to the hope that she’s real.

Audra is real, but she’s also a sylph. An air elemental. She walks on the wind, can translate its alluring songs, and can even twist it into a weapon. She’s also a guardian–Vane’s guardian–and has sworn an oath to protect him at all costs. Even if it means sacrificing her own life.

When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra must help Vane remember who he is. He has a power to claim–the secret language of the West Wind, which only he can understand. But unlocking his heritage will also unlock a memory Audra wishes could be erased. And as the storm bears down on them she starts to realize the greatest danger might not be the warriors coming to destroy them, but the forbidden romance that’s grown between them.

Set amongst the desert airstreams of Coachella Valley in California, and alive with wonderful wind-swept prose, LET THE SKY FALL is about two teenagers broken by their pasts, divided by their futures, and bound by love.

You can follow LET THE SKY FALL on Facebook too!

Shannon is also running a giveaway, ends Friday, June 1st!

Cover Art | Asunder (Newsoul, #2) by Jodi Meadows

Posted on by Jess (The Cozy Reader)

Asunder (Newsouls, #2) by Jodi Meadows releases sometime in 2013.

I read and really loved Incarnate a while ago. I owe you a review but just believe me when I say it was REALLY good.

 

 

Incarnate (Newsoul, #1) by Jodi Meadows

Published: 2012-01-31 | Katherine Tegen Books

384 pages | $13.99 (Amazon.com)

 Summary (Goodreads)

New soul
Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why.
No soul
Even Ana’s own mother thinks she’s a nosoul, an omen of worse things to come, and has kept her away from society. To escape her seclusion and learn whether she’ll be reincarnated, Ana travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are afraid of what her presence means. When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame?
Heart
Sam believes Ana’s new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana’s enemies—human and creature alike—let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else’s life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all?
Jodi Meadows expertly weaves soul-deep romance, fantasy, and danger into an extraordinary tale of new life.

Cover Art: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Posted on by Jess (The Cozy Reader)

If you haven’t heard about this book yet, allow me to please introduce you to THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J. Maas!

Summary (Goodreads)

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

Her opponents are men—thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the kings council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her… but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead… quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

This was originally a writing on Fictionpress.com as Queen of Glass. It will be released on August 7th. Until then Bloomsbury is releasing novellas for $0.99 each. I highly recommend the novellas. I’m actually liking them slightly more than the book itself, which is available on NetGalley.
