I’m thrilled to be able to show off the cover for Rachel Harris’ new book, A Tale of Two Centuries. This is a follow up to her amazingly fun debut My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century. Read on to see the cover and for your chance to win a copy of the book when it comes out!
About RACHEL HARRIS:
Find Rachel on:
As a teen, Rachel Harris threw raging parties that shook her parents’ walls and created embarrassing fodder for future YA novels. As an adult, she reads and writes obsessively, rehashes said embarrassing fodder, and dreams up characters who become her own grown up version of imaginary friends.
When she’s not typing furiously or flipping pages in an enthralling romance, you can find her homeschooling her two beautiful princesses, hanging out with her amazing husband, or taking a hot bubble bath…next to a pile of chocolate. A Tale of Two Centuries is her second novel.
About A TALE OF TWO CENTURIES
Series: My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century #2
Publication Date: September 2013 (UK)
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Alessandra D’Angeli is in need of an adventure. Tired of her sixteenth-century life in Italy and homesick for her time-traveling cousin, Cat, who visited her for a magical week and dazzled her with tales of the future, Alessandra is lost. Until the stars hear her plea.
One mystical spell later, Alessandra appears on Cat’s Beverly Hills doorstep five hundred years in the future. Surrounded by confusing gadgets, scary transportation, and scandalous clothing, Less is hesitant to live the life of a twenty-first century teen…until she meets the infuriating—and infuriatingly handsome—surfer Austin Michaels. Austin challenges everything she believes in…and introduces her to a world filled with possibility.
With the clock ticking, Less knows she must live every moment of her modern life while she still can. But how will she return to the drab life of her past when the future is what holds everything she’s come to love?
And now the cover:
What a super sweet cover! I really like how Alessandra is portrayed on the page and the guy is really hot. It fits nicely with the cover of the previous book as well.
EXCERPT
“The string goes where?” I ask incredulously, dropping the garment from my fingers as if it holds the plague. My heart rate pounds in my ears, already heightened from my shocking meeting with Austin earlier and the crowd in this land of chaos my cousin calls a mall. It is Saturday, apparently the day teenagers descend upon this enormous building, and we are shopping for clothes that will somehow strike a balance between what she calls dorky and what I call common courtesan attire.
“You heard me,” Cat says with a wicked smile and points to the scrap of fabric, causing me to flush even more.
Heat creeps into my scalp and if it were possible for hair to defy all wisdom and burst into flame, mine would. Holding this conversation in public as people bustle past us is horribly and wholly improper.
“It’s called a thong,” she clarifies with glee, “and by putting the string up there, you avoid ugly panty lines. Trust me, no one wants to see that business.”
I clear my throat and take a hesitant step toward the overflowing bins, peering down at the perplexing items again. “But surely it is uncomfortable to be lodged…in such a…spot?”
Cat shrugs. “You learn to live with it.”

I’m thrilled to be able to share the UK cover for the final book in Tera Lynn Childs’ Medusa Girls series, Sweet Legacy. I loved the first book, Sweet Venom and I’m waiting (im)patiently for the sequel Sweet Shadows, which should be arriving any day now! Many thanks to Templar Publishing for letting me be a part of this!

About SWEET LEGACY
Publication Date: September 2013 (UK)
Publisher: Templar Publishing
Descendants of Medusa do battle with beasties in modern-day San Francisco in this action-packed trilogy.
The concluding book in this kick-ass trilogy. Teenage descendants of Medusa, triplets Gretchen, Grace and Greer, face their toughest test yet as the mythological and the modern collide in a fast-paced urban fantasy adventure.
And now the cover:
The final cover fits so nicely with the others in the series and I love the purple tone. It’s got a tough but feminine vibe to it. The font is great and I love the bright lights of San Francisco, which gives the mythology-themed book an urban feel.
What do you all think of the cover?

This week there is so much pretty floating in the world of YA books. Last year, both Defiance by C.J. Redwine and The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater made my Top 10 of 2012 for both being so incredibly written, having such wonderful characters and generally knocking it out of the park. Now, both of their sequel covers were revealed today and I really wanted to put the pretty on the blog!
Baalboden has been ravaged. The brutal Commander’s whereabouts are unknown. And Rachel, grief stricken over her father’s death, needs Logan more than ever. With their ragged group of survivors struggling to forge a future, it’s up to Logan to become the leader they need—with Rachel by his side. Under constant threat from rival Carrington’s army, who is after the device that controls the Cursed One, the group decides to abandon the ruins of their home and take their chances in the Wasteland.
But soon their problems intensify tenfold: someone—possibly inside their ranks—is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. The chaos and uncertainty of each day puts unbearable strain on Rachel and Logan, and it isn’t long before they feel their love splintering. Even worse, as it becomes clear that the Commander will stop at nothing to destroy them, the band of survivors begins to question whether the price of freedom may be too great—and whether, hunted by their enemies and the murderous traitor in their midst, they can make it out of the Wasteland alive.
In this daring sequel to Defiance, with the world they once loved forever destroyed, Rachel and Logan must decide between a life on the run and standing their ground to fight.
The original cover was beautiful, but I think this trumps it. Love how it matches the old one, while keeping the mood right with the second book. I love the detail of the little tents around the bottom, which gives me a feel for the setting out in the Wastelands. I also LOVE Rachel’s armband! Just gorgeous, I can’t wait until August!
There isn’t a description out for this yet, as the title and cover were both just revealed but WOW! The title is oh so mysterious, but given picture I reckon the book will be Ronan-centric. I am hoping desperately that this book picks up right after that cliffhanger from the last one. Can’t wait to know more, and September can’t come soon enough!
What do you guys think? I think this autumn is going to be good this year!

I’m so excited to come back from hiatus and bring you this fantastic cover reveal! I reviewed the first book in the series, Inbetween and absolutely loved it, so I can’t wait to be back in this wonderful world of reapers. First though, a little bit about our author:
About TARA FULLER:
Find Tara on:
Tara Fuller writes novels. Some about grim reapers. Some about witches. All of course are delightfully full of teen angst and kissing. Tara grew up in a one stop light town in Oklahoma where once upon a time she stayed up with a flash light reading RL Stine novels and only dreamed of becoming a writer. She has a slight obsession with music and a shameless addiction for zombie fiction, Mystery Science Theater, and black and white mochas. Tara no longer lives in a one stop light town. Now she lives with her family in a slightly larger town in North Carolina where they have at least three stoplights.
About BLURRED
Publication Date: 2 July 2013
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Cash is haunted by things. Hungry, hollow things. They only leave him alone when Anaya, Heaven’s beautiful reaper, is around. Cash has always been good with girls, but Anaya isn’t like the others. She’s dead. And with his deteriorating health, Cash might soon be as well.
Anaya never breaks the rules, but the night of the fire she recognized part of Cash’s soul—and doomed him to something worse than death. Cash’s soul now resides in an expired body, making him a shadow walker—a rare, coveted being that can walk between worlds. A being creatures of the underworld would do anything to get their hands on.
The lines between life and death are blurring, and Anaya and Cash find themselves falling helplessly over the edge. Trapped in a world where the living don’t belong, can Cash make it out alive?
And now the cover:

I think this cover is simply stunning. I love the consistency of the typography with Inbetween, so you know straight away it’s part of a series. But while Inbetween was light, this is a bit darker, perhaps to reflect the slightly darker story? Anaya looks gorgeous in her flowy white dress, very appropriate. Cash also looks damn cool as the bad boy he is. Love the dark swirls behind the text as well. I just love it and I can’t wait for this book! What you you all think?

About SWEET PERIL
Publication Date: 30 April 2013
Publisher: HarperTeen
Anna Whitt, daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a claim. She’d been naive about a lot of things. Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.
When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?
And now the cover:
