There are some really gorgeous covers this week (both with and without gorgeous people on them). There are many covers that deserve to be discussed, above and beyond Best/Worst. Lara Avery’s ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY is a gorgeous use of light and perspective, and Meljean Brook’s Iron Seas series gets a new style. Keri Arthur’s Dark Angel books got my favorite cover of the series and I’m seeing hints of Supernatural boys in cover models again (thank you, ANGEL IN CHAINS). Enjoy!
There are 17 new covers to woo their way on to your TBR pile, and one re-issue that may prompt a few readers to take another look at Kelly Keaton’s Gods & Monsters series. It was a close race to pick my favorite this week (and Rob Thurman’s hilarious comment may have tipped the balance). In the end, both of my choices featured a foreboding expression and blank eyes, but obviously only one of them pulls it off.
“I want to f***ing MARRY this cover or at least take it out to dinner and do incredibly filthy and naughty things to it. It blew me away when I first saw it and it still gives me the same thrill every time I see it.” – Rob Thurman
While I’m not quite as passionate as the author on this one, I am a big fan. The expression on the cover model’s face is riveting enough on it’s own, but the whole cover put together is entrancing.
I’m a big Chris McGrath fan so I understand Rob’s excitement over the great covers he keeps producing for her series (& so glad she’s recovered enough to make them), and Julia is dead on about the captivating expression on his face.

Nick and his brother, Alan, have spent their lives on the run from magic. Their father was murdered, and their mother was driven mad by magicians and the demons who give them power. The magicians are hunting the Ryves family for a charm that Nick's mother stole -- a charm that keeps her alive -- and they want it badly enough to kill again.
Danger draws even closer when a brother and sister come to the Ryves family for help. The boy wears a demon's mark, a sign of death that almost nothing can erase...and when Alan also gets marked by a demon, Nick is desperate to save him. The only way to do that is to kill one of the magicians they have been hiding from for so long.
Ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Nick starts to suspect that his brother is telling him lie after lie about their past. As the magicians' Circle closes in on their family, Nick uncovers the secret that could destroy them all.
This is the Demon's Lexicon. Turn the page.
