Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion. But danger is never far behind.
Coming March 13, 2012!
I love how this cover combines elements from the first two, and how consistent they are throughout the series (even down to the random cat...). Also, fierce sword there, Soph! o_O As Rachel Hawkins pointed out in her reveal post, Sophie's also wearing a Hecate Hell uniform in the reflected image...does that mean she returns to the school that started it all before the series ends? I hope so! We've come full circle =)
The books in this trilogy just keep getting better, so the conclusion is sure to be killer! I am DYING to get my hands on it after the cliffhangery torture of
Demonglass.
Here are the other two covers for comparison:
What do you think? Which
Hex Hall cover is your favorite? I think mine is still
Demonglass.
Julia Karr
recently revealed the cover art for
Truth, the sequel to her 2011 YA dystopian debut
XVI. Check it out:
Coming January 19, 2012!
***Contails Spoilers for XVI***
Nina Oberon’s life has changed enormously in the last few months. When her mother was killed, Nina discovered the truth about her father, the leader of the Resistance. And now she sports the same Governing Council–ordered tattoo of XVI on her wrist that all sixteen-year-old girls have. The one that announces to the world that she is easy prey to predators. But Nina won’t be anyone’s stereotype. And when she joins an organization of girls working within the Resistance, she knows that they can put an end to one of the most terrifying secret programs the GC has ever conceived. Because the truth always comes out . . . and the consequences can be deadly.
I loved
XVI, so I'm really excited for
Truth! The word cut-out covers for the series really work, I think. I especially loved the first one, because the sharp angles of "XVI" looked like they were cutting into Nina -- which is a great metaphor for the book. The only thing I'm not sure about with this cover is her expression -- is she smug? Wary? It just doesn't seem quite right, considering how dark the series is. All the white kind of reminds me of the
new Uglies series covers too.
Here's the
XVI cover for comparison:

She fell for him in a nighttime world. But the time for dreaming is past—and the here-and-now can be just as fragile their love…
When Theia Alderson first encountered a mysterious, handsome boy in her dreams, she never imagined how finding Haden Black—and falling in love—could change her life. To save Haden, Theia sacrificed everything. And the dangerous bargain she made could have lasting repercussions.
Now Theia has returned to Serendipity Falls, and she finds herself struggling with the same deadly hungers that have tortured Haden. When students at their high school fall prey to a mysterious illness, Theia can’t help but wonder if Haden’s control is slipping—and how much longer she’ll have a grip on her own.
And still the nightmare realm of Under won’t let them go. Someone from Haden’s past is determined to destroy Theia from the inside out, starting with those closest to her, forcing Theia to choose between family and friends and a love that may have been doomed from the start…
I think this cover is really beautiful. The rose petals she's laying on, her elaborately curled hair and that gorgeous, gorgeous dress all evoke the romance of the story, while the black rose in her hand, and the contrast of the black on her dress with the red of the rose petals gives it a kind of Gothic feel. It's also a nice inversion of the first book's cover -- which had black roses and a red dress. I'm not crazy about the title though -- it just doesn't quite have that ring to it, you know?
What do you think? Does this make you want to read the series? Have you read
Falling Under? I need to! I've heard it's really good.
Here's the
Falling Under cover for comparison:

Hex Hall series has a title! And it is...*drumroll please*...

I think it works well with the other two-syllable titles in the se
Coming February 2012!
I love this cover. The fact that Donna is facing away is mysterious and intriguing, while the blinding lights are eye-catching and let you know that she's in control. It seems as though she's finally embracing the alchemy that saved her life -- and venturing back into the Ironwood that nearly killed her. The title also piques my interest -- is it referring to Donna? Or to the nasty faery queen we met in book one?
What do you think? Does this cover make you want to read the series?
Here's the
Iron Witch cover, for comparison. I thought it was pretty eye-catching, mysterious and beautiful as well: (enlarge to see the markings on her arms)
Coming February 14, 2012!
Everything Aoife thought she knew about the world was a lie. There is no Necrovirus. And Aoife isn't going to succomb to madness because of a latent strain—she will lose her faculties because she is allergic to iron. Aoife isn't human. She is a changeling—half human and half from the land of Thorn. And time is running out for her.
When Aoife destroyed the Lovecraft engine she released the monsters from the Thorn Lands into the Iron Lands and now she must find a way to seal the gates and reverse the destruction she's ravaged on the world that's about to poison her.
I LOVE this cover. It's so dark and haunting and striking -- just like the first book's. I also really like that Aoife looks older on this cover, and more in control. You can tell time has passed and she's come a long way. She actually looks like someone I know, which is a little bizarre haha. I've been intrigued by this series since I first heard about
The Iron Thorn -- it's sitting on my bookshelf; I need to read it soon!
What do you think of the new cover? Here's the first book for comparison:

What a great cover! So beautiful and, as you said, haunting. (Though to be fair I was going to use that word anyway, even before I saw that you used it...)
