Top Ten Sci-Fi/Fantasy Books That Rocked Shawntelle Madison’s World

Shawntelle Madison

In high school I was an avid reader. I read a lot of my mom’s books, but I hadn't really jumped into reading sci-fi/fantasy until I encountered these ten series/books that set off an avalanche of reading that turned me into a true fan of the genre. Let the awesomeness commence!

 

 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!   Feedback by Robinson Wells

These covers say “Thriller” and “Summer Blockbuster”, and I think the cinematic style matches the series tone.	I like the perspective here. It feels like we're trapped behind the fence.  But otherwise, I don't really think this is a memorable cover.
