Inbetween (Killed by Death #1) by Tara Fuller
Will be released on: 30th August 2012
Since the car crash that took her father’s life three years ago, Emma’s life has been a freaky—and unending—lesson in caution. Surviving “accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option.
It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn’t let her die before, and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves from the evil he accidently unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the only thing he has left…his soul.
This cover definitely appeals to me. I like the colours and I especially like the thing going on with the clouds in the background. However to me the people look, I don't know, computer generated? They seem really fake-looking. Also, while it is pleasant to look at, it's not very eye-catching. I wouldn't look at this on the shelf and pick it up straight away, intrigued by the cover. This cover gets 2.5/5 stars. It's boring.
Doomed, by Tracy Deebs
Will be released on: 8th January 2013
Beat the Game,
Save the World.
One Stuxnet type worm,
One Greek-themed MMO,
One real world scavenger hunt,
Three teenagers on the run,
And a ten-day countdown to total nuclear annihilation.
Pandora’s Box isn’t just a myth anymore …
When seventeen-year-old Pandora Walker opens an email attachment, she uploads the most frightening worm ever invented—and in doing so, brings about total technological Armageddon. Everything from the internet to communications to utilities collapses and suddenly Pandora finds herself on the run from Homeland Security, the FBI and every police department in the country, all of whom blame her for the technological wasteland sweeping across the U.S.. With the help of stepbrothers Eli and Theo, her neighbors and the two hottest guys in school– plus codes encrypted in a world famous MMO– she sets out on a real life scavenger hunt that only she can solve. A scavenger hunt that pits her against one of the most brilliant men in the world—the maker of the Pandora worm. Her father. Only by unraveling the clues left by him in the MMO, and in real-world places around the U.S., can they hope to beat the clock ticking the days off until the entire planet is Doomed.
This, on the other hand, looks very cool and not boring at all. That girl looks like she's on a mission, and it's gonna involve some epic butt-kicking. The boys behind her look just as determined, and the whole cover really gives off an aura of epic-ness. I like the computer pixels blending into the buildings thing: it makes me think that this'll be dystopian just from looking at it. This is a very fitting cover that gets 4/5 stars.
The Star Child by Stephanie Keye
Will be released on: 21st September 2012
The world is about to be cloaked in darkness. Only one can stop the night.
Kellen St. James has spent his entire life being overlooked as an unwanted, ordinary, slightly geeky kid. That is until a beautiful girl, one who has haunted his dreams for the past eleven years of his life, shows up spinning tales of a prophecy. Not just any old prophecy either, but one in which Kellen plays a key role.
Suddenly, Kellen finds himself on the run through a Celtic underworld of faeries and demons, angels and gods, not to mention a really ticked off pack of hellhounds, all in order to save the world from darkness. But will they make it in time?
I love this cover. It's just so pretty and interesting looking. The sparkling dust stuff is really cool and I love how it's swirling around and you can practically see it moving. The moon looks very mystical as it looms above the guy. I love the lighting and how the guy is illuminated. The guy looks eerie and slightly inhuman, and I think the cover portrays what it's about well: Looking at that in a store I would probably suspect it was a fairy/magical story without reading the blurb. The lettering is eye-catching and unique. This whole cover is eye-catching. I rate it 5/5 stars.
