Humans huddle in their walled cities, supplying blood in exchange for safety. But not even that is guaranteed.

Enchanted by Alethea Kontis
Release Date: May 8, 2012
Summary: It isn’t easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.
When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland—and a man Sunday’s family despises.
The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past—and hers?
Arise by Tara Hudson
(Hereafter #2)
Release Date: June 5, 2012
Summary: Amelia—still caught between life and death—must fight for every moment of her relationship with the human boy Joshua. They can hardly even kiss without Amelia accidentally dematerializing. Looking for answers, they go to visit some of Joshua’s Seer relatives in New Orleans. But even in a city so famously steeped in the supernatural, Amelia ends up with more questions than answers…and becomes increasingly convinced that she and Joshua can never have a future together.
Wandering through the French Quarter, Amelia meets other in-between ghosts, and begins to seriously consider joining them. And then she meets Gabrielle. Somehow, against impossible odds, Gaby has found a way to live a sort of half-life...a half-life for which Amelia would pay any price. Torn between two worlds, Amelia must choose carefully, before the evil spirits of the netherworld choose for her.

ReplyDeleteCeline @ Forget-me-not
Haha there are so many beautiful dresses on covers! I want to rip them off the girls and try them on myself, even though I'm really the dress-wearing kind of girl :D
ReplyDeleteI am especially excited to read Darkness Before Dawn and Arise!! Also, isn't the dress on the cover of The Selection SO gorgeous?! Le sigh. *rip rip rip* Oh pff, there's like a hundred more copies of that dress on the cover. She won't miss one :P
Why must they make the covers so beautiful? I just hope the stories live up to the covers!
ReplyDeleteWAAANNNNTTT! Darkness Before Dawn is my favorite because it'so pretty and dark at the same time!!
ReplyDeleteDarkness Before Dawn looks beautiful! Great post.
ReplyDeleteYou're highlighting exactly the kinds of covers I love-I'm most excited about Arise since I enjoyed the first book quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHH! SO PRETTY MIMI! I'm in love with all of these:) No matter how many times a book cover features a girl in a pretty dress, I just never get tired of them. They always make me want to pick them up and read them. So excited for Arise and Darkness Before Dawn!
ReplyDeleteDarkness Before Dawn has such a creepy and totally beautiful cover. I think it's kind of cool that one was written by a mother and son.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY love the cover for Enchanted, and who does love a good prince?
I love all of these covers too!!! I'm really excited about Enchanted, I'm getting that one soon!!
ReplyDeleteAnna @ Literary Exploration
I really like pretty dresses on covers! Dresses all the way, I hate wearing pants. I'm excited for Enchanted!
ReplyDeleteThose covers are beautiful and mysterious. I love the pink one and the firs black one. It'd be cool to dress up in one of them and go to a ball or something.
ReplyDeleteEven though I haven't read the Hereafter books, I just adore the cover of Arise. Darkness Before Dawn is gorgeous too but it kinda reminds me of Fallen by Lauren Kate!
ReplyDeleteOh I hadn't seen the cover for Arise yet! I do tend to love the fabulous gowns on covers but I think maybe it's getting old? I don't know. Maybe not cause I guess I am still loving them!
ReplyDeletethese covers are just awesome I agree, Thank you for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to walk around in dresses like that! Great picks, Mimi. They are all gorgeous. :)

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I think my favorite one is the one from Enchanted, though that color would look horrible on me. I'm too pale! Lol.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Darkness Before Dawn before, but I want it so badly! Awesome post, Mimi.
