COVER LOVE: Stun My Socks Off Edition!

FACT: Future covers keep getting better and better! There are so many that just keep blowing my mind  with how breathtaking they are, and here are some of them:



Breathe by Sarah Crossan
(Breathe #1)
Release Date: October 2, 2012
Links: Goodreads | The Book Depository


Inhale. Exhale. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe . . .

The world is dead.
The survivors live under the protection of Breathe, the corporation that found a way to manufacture oxygen-rich air.

ALINA
has been stealing for a long time. She’s a little jittery, but not terrified. All she knows is that she’s never been caught before. If she’s careful, it’ll be easy. If she’s careful.

QUINN
should be worried about Alina and a bit afraid for himself, too, but even though this is dangerous, it’s also the most interesting thing to happen to him in ages. It isn’t every day that the girl of your dreams asks you to rescue her.

BEA
wants to tell him that none of this is fair; they’d planned a trip together, the two of them, and she’d hoped he’d discover her out here, not another girl.

And as they walk into the Outlands with two days’ worth of oxygen in their tanks, everything they believe will be shattered. Will they be able to make it back? Will they want to?




Black City by Elizabeth Richards
(Black City Chronicles #1)
Release Date: November 13, 2012
Links: Goodreads | The Book Depository
| Amazon

A dark and tender postapocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war

In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable—they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection, that causes Ash’s long dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too strong. When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.




The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda
(The Hunt #1)
Release Date: May 8, 2012
Links: Goodreads | The Book Depository
| Amazon

Don’t Sweat. Don’t Laugh. Don’t draw attention to yourself. And most of all, whatever you do, do not fall in love with one of them.

Gene is different from everyone else around him. He can’t run with lightning speed, sunlight doesn’t hurt him and he doesn’t have an unquenchable lust for blood. Gene is a human, and he knows the rules. Keep the truth a secret. It’s the only way to stay alive in a world of night—a world where humans are considered a delicacy and hunted for their blood.

When he’s chosen for a once in a lifetime opportunity to hunt the last remaining humans, Gene’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble around him. He’s thrust into the path of a girl who makes him feel things he never thought possible—and into a ruthless pack of hunters whose suspicions about his true nature are growing. Now that Gene has finally found something worth fighting for, his need to survive is stronger than ever—but is it worth the cost of his humanity?



Manufactured oxygen? A post-apocalyptic love story? A vampire-filled world where the minority of humans have to pretend to be vampires to survive? I don't know about you, but if all books in 2012 are this creative, I'm going to be book-crazy all year! ;) 

What book are you most excited for?

  8. I just went and added Breathe to my wishlist - Wow, it sounds amazing.

    I also got The hunt for review and it's really, really good - completely worthy of five stars. That cover is loads better than the UK version.

  10. Black City's cover is fascinating-is that a rose exploding??? I think that's the book I'm most interested in reading (unless I see a fab review of one of the other two from you ;)

  11. Oh, I LOVE the all the covers, Mimi! They just seem so... futuristic. I don't even know whether it could be the best way to put how awesome they are LOL! I'm really intrigued to read Breathe. It's not often to see a book around two girls and one guy. It's usually all about one girl and two guys, not that I object LOL! :D

    Awesome post, Mimi! Have a lovely weekend! :)

  12. SO MUCH GOODNESS ALL IN ONE POST!!!! Breathe and Black City both sound amazing, I'm absolutely dying for both of those. I can't wait for The Hunt either, at least that one is coming out relatively soon. Much sooner than October and November anyway! Thanks for sharing all these Mimi!

  13. I love covers for post-apocalyptic and dystopian books! They are all so much more original than the standard YA covers with girls in dresses on them - not that I have anything against those covers (I love them!) but it's nice to get something different. :)

    I had no idea Breathe had a cover! I added that to my list ages ago! It looks awesome. Great post as always Mimi. :D

  27. Yesterday or the day before was like Black City Day. There was an explosion of cover reveals and giveaways. And I have to admit, after reading the main excerpt, that's the one I'm most looking forward to out of this pile!

  28. They are all amazing, but the most breathtaking one (for me) is definitely Black City. And, fortunately, the summary didn't let me down at all, as it sounds sooooo interesting! :) I have seen the other two quite a bit, I'll have to check them out.

    I'm loving this cover-highlighting posts of yours, Mimi! ♥
