Cover Art Coverage: 14 New Titles!!

Though I usually can’t stand when a model’s eye color is used as the accent, the Carrie Jones’s ENDURE is the beautiful exception that proves the rule. And though Abigail and I both love a man in a fitted t-shirt, cover model on Sylvia Day’s A HUNGER SO WILD earned two enthusiastic thumbs up.  We didn’t agree on whether the high impact colors in BOUND deserved a thumbs up or a thumbs down, but RENEGADE’s trippy wonderland palette worked for us both.

Cover Art Coverage: 21 New Titles!

This is the biggest cover art post we’ve had in awhile, and there are some treats on both ends of the Good/Bad spectrum today.  I spent a fair amount of time staring at Katie MacAlister’s TALE OF TWO VAMPIRES cover, as well as Jeannine Garsee’s THE UNQUIET (as a sucker for both hot men and visual tricks).  I saw my very first Amish/Vampire crossover book, which you can just bet is going to be closely followed by me reading my first Amish/Vampire book, and at least one old-school-romance cover surprised an audible “woof” out of me when the page loaded.  As a special treat, at the very end of the post we have our dearly departed ATUF girl’s video debut in S. M. Reine’s “Making of an Indie Book Cover”. Enjoy!

1 audiobook copy of SECOND GRAVE ON THE LEFT by Darynda Jones

Second Grave on the Left (Charley Davidson, #2)
Available on August 16th 2011 by Macmillan Audio

Description:

Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper Extraordinaire, is back in this sexy, suspenseful novel of supernatural shenanigans.

When Charley is rudely awakened in the middle of the night by her best friend who tells her to get dressed quickly and tosses clothes out of the closet at her, she can’t help but wonder what Cookie’s up to. Leather scrunch boots with a floral miniskirt? Together? Seriously? Cookie explains that a friend of hers named Mimi disappeared five days earlier and that she just got a text from her setting up a meet at a coffee shop downtown. They show up at the coffee shop, but no Mimi. But Charley finds a message on the bathroom wall. Mimi left a clue, a woman’s name. Mimi’s husband explains that his wife had been acting strange since she found out an old friend of hers from high school had been found murdered a couple weeks prior. The same woman Mimi had named in her message.

Meanwhile, Reyes Alexander Farrow (otherwise known as the Son of Satan. Yes. Literally) has left his corporeal body and is haunting Charley. He’s left his body because he’s being tortured by demons who want to lure Charley closer. But Reyes can’t let that happen. Because if the demons get to Charley, they’ll have a portal to heaven. And if they have a portal to heaven…well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be pretty. Can Charley handle hot nights with Reyes and even hotter days tracking down a missing woman? Will Cookie ever get a true fashion sense? And is there enough coffee and chocolate in the world to fuel them as they do? Here is your signpost for the most hilarious read of the summer: Second Grave On The Left.

    Charley Davidson’s Ten Things You should Know about New Mexico
    by
    Darynda Jones

    1. The grim reaper lives there. (That’s me, by the way. There’s a reason it’s called the Land of Enchantment.)

    2. The designated NM state question is red or green? (As in, would you like red chile on your enchiladas or green? Both are delicious.)

    3. You can see a waterfall in the middle of a desert, red cliffs, black volcanoes, snow-capped mountains, and the grim reaper. It is starkly beautiful, culturally rich, and deadly. (Kind of like Reyes Farrow, full of charm and dangerous grace.) First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1)

    4. It is home of the grim reaper and the famous Roswell Crash Site where an alien spacecraft crash-landed in 1947 followed by a huge government cover-up. The government denies these allegations.

    5. Santa Fe, the state capitol, is known as The City Different. It is the only city in the U.S. with a building ordinance that requires all buildings to exhibit a Spanish Pueblo or Territorial style of architecture. It is breathtaking and must be seen to be believed. Not unlike, say, the grim reaper.

    6. Albuquerque hosts a number of events, including the largest hot air balloon festival in the world, the grim reaper, and the visually stunning Gathering of the Nations to which over 500 tribes from the U.S. and Canada travel to sing, drum, and dance.

    Second Grave on the Left (Charley Davidson, #2)

    7. Among the many attractions are the grim reaper and extraordinary geological finds such as ice caves, a desert made of snow-white sand, and an 81-foot-deep blue hole scuba divers from all over the world come to explore.

    8. Skiing and white water rafting are popular recreations in the state. So is checking out guys. But that could just be a grim reaper thing.

    9. The world’s first atomic bomb was detonated at the White Sands Testing Range in 1945. The site is now called the Trinity Site.

    10. New Mexico’s history is filled with Wild West characters like Billy the Kid, Buffalo Bill Cody, the grim reaper, Black Jack Ketchum, Pat Garrett, and Doc Holliday.
