#WOW: Inhuman by @KatF77 & The Coldest Girl In Coldtown by @hollyblack



Hosted by






My Wow's have me pinning for The Coldest Girl In ColdTown and Inhuman. I just found out they changed the original cover to Inhuman (with the girl) to the one below with the helicopter instead. I'm very disappointed with the change and find the cover doesn't have the same allure as the original. In my mind the new cover looks more like a military read set in the future.

What are your thoughts?  OLD Cover or NEW???





Inhuman (Fetch #1)
by
Expected publication: October 1st 2013 by Scholastic


Inhuman (Fetch, #1)In a world ravaged by mutation, a teenage girl must travel into the forbidden Savage Zone to recover lost artifacts or her father’s life is forfeit.
America has been ravaged by a war that has left the eastern half of the country riddled with mutation. Many of the people there exhibit varying degrees of animal traits. Even the plantlife has gone feral.

Crossing from west to east is supposed to be forbidden, but sometimes it’s necessary. Some enter the Savage Zone to provide humanitarian relief. Sixteen-year-old Lane’s father goes there to retrieve lost artifacts—he is a Fetch. It’s a dangerous life, but rewarding—until he’s caught.

Desperate to save her father, Lane agrees to complete his latest job. That means leaving behind her life of comfort and risking life and limb—and her very DNA—in the Savage Zone. But she’s not alone. In order to complete her objective, Lane strikes a deal with handsome, roguish Rafe. In exchange for his help as a guide, Lane is supposed to sneak him back west. But though Rafe doesn’t exhibit any signs of “manimal” mutation, he’s hardly civilized . . . and he may not be trustworthy
NEW COVER????   NOOOOOOOO, why did they have to ruin a beautiful cover???

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown
COLDTOWN WAS DANGEROUS, TANA KNEW. A GLAMOROUS CAGE, A PRISON FOR THE DAMNED AND ANYONE WHO WANTED TO PARTY WITH THEM.

Tana lived in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown's gates, you can never leave.
One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.

  1. I like the non-girl cover is that the new one? This sounds interesting, but I whenever I hear the word fetch I can't help but think: Gretchen, quit trying to make fetch happen. It's not going to happen.
    The Coldest Girl looks awesome. Great picks!
