I'm a cover whore, I'll admit to it. I know what your all thinking don't judge a book by it's cover!! There are plenty of books that I've read that have been eyesores, to say the least but once I cracked the spine of these "uglies" the stories sprang to life and I was enthralled with the story and had nothing but love for them. Want some examples??

The cover to Slammed was kind of boring with bland colors (the old cover) The new cover is flashy and although I like it, I'm not in love with it
Sea Of Tranquility (the old cover) reminds me of the ocean, of lands far away, maybe even a mythological read. The newer cover fits the book perfectly, I love it!
AngelFall  (still hate this cover) Loved the story!

I love the covers for Gena's Otherworld Assassin Series. The red and blue compliment each other, and I love those dresses!! The newest blue cover is so cool as her dress transforms into water.


Black and Blue by Gena Showalter
Series Otherworld assassin book 2
Expected publication: October 22nd 2013 by Pocket Books

Black and Blue (Otherworld Assassin, #2)He is every woman’s fantasy…Corbin Blue is a man of many talents. One of the most powerful otherworlders ever born, he is wealthy, a professional football star, and a legend in the bedroom. But only a select few know he is also a black ops agent…and there is no better killer. When he and his crew are attacked and separated, he’s forced to turn to his boss’s daughter for help—a woman with even more secrets than Blue.

She becomes his only obsession…

Evangaline Black has always been wary, guarded. No man has ever breeched her walls. Until Blue. He has never been denied something he wants, and now, he’s decided he wants her. As he sweeps her into his double life of seduction, intrigue, and danger, he helps her see beyond the darkness of her own past. But as an enemy closes in, Blue will have to let Evie go to keep her safe—even though he'd rather die than live without her…

I'm not a huge fan of the cover for Larissa's first book in the The Moonbound Clan Vampires series, but the guy on the cover has me swooning over his eyes, and the sneak peak of his abs.

Bound by Night by Larissa Ione
Series The Moonbound Clan Vampires #1
Expected publication: September 24th 2013 by Pocket Books


Bound by Night (MoonBound Clan Vampires, #1)
The first installment in a sexy new paranormal romance series by Larissa Ione, author of the bestselling Demonica series!

A WOMAN OUT FOR BLOOD
Nicole Martin was only eight years old when the vampire slaves rose up in rebellion and killed her family. Now she devotes her life to finding a vaccine against vampirism, hoping to wipe out her memories—along with every bloodsucker on the planet. But there’s one thing she cannot destroy: her searing, undeniable attraction for the one man she should hate and fear the most . . .

A VAMPIRE OUT FOR REVENGE
A member of the renegade vampire MoonBound Clan, Riker is haunted by demons of his own. When he recognizes Nicole and remembers how her family enslaved his loved ones, his heart burns for vengeance. But when he kidnaps Nicole and holds her in a secret lair, his mortal enemy becomes his soul obsession, his greatest temptation, and, perhaps, his only salvation—a hot-blooded lover who could heal him with her touch . . . or bury him forever





Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series finally has a companion! Although, companions are usually not super popular, how can you not LOVE the cover for it? Sexy alpha-male with a blazing chest, and eyes, and check out the two swords he's carrying--bad ass!

Lastly a cover that you will have you swooning....#TooHot! But be warned, the reviews for this have been coming in pretty low. So I should smack myself for buying it just based on the cover alone! I couldn't help it.....those abs, arms, the chain, and tats.....OMGosh.

  2. Great post Lisa. I often judge books by they're cover too. And a lot of time can overlook a great book because of their cover.
