Generations ago, a genetic experiment gone wrong—the Reduction—decimated humanity, giving rise to a Luddite nobility who outlawed most technology.
Eighteen-year-old Luddite Elliot North has always known her place in this caste system. Four years ago Elliot refused to run away with her childhood sweetheart, the servant Kai, choosing duty to her family’s estate over love. But now the world has changed: a new class of Post-Reductionists is jumpstarting the wheel of progress and threatening Luddite control; Elliot’s estate is floundering; and she’s forced to rent land to the mysterious Cloud Fleet, a group of shipbuilders that includes renowned explorer Captain Malakai Wentforth—an almost unrecognizable Kai. And while Elliott wonders if this could be their second chance, Kai seems determined to show Elliot exactly what she gave up when she abandoned him.
But Elliot soon discovers her childhood friend carries a secret—-one that could change the society in which they live…or bring it to its knees. And again, she’s faced with a choice: cling to what she’s been raised to believe, or cast her lot with the only boy she’s ever loved, even if she has lost him forever.
Inspired by Jane Austen’s PERSUASION, FOR DARKNESS SHOWS THE STARS is a breathtaking romance about opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it.

Beauty is pointless when no one's looking.
Brianna Paxton has been invisible to guys since the eighth grade. She’s pretty enough, it’s just that no one bothers to look. There’s almost nothing that can’t be explained with science, and Brianna has a theory: she’s missing the pheromone that attracts people to one another. Brianna’s theory is shot to hell in one frozen, silver moment, when time stops and Blake Williams not only sees her, he recognizes something inside her that she’s been hiding from even herself.
Before Brianna fully understands who and what she is, she accidentally binds her soul to Blake. Forced to find a way to reconcile forbidden love and her bloody heritage, Brianna discovers that there's nothing pointless about her, and Blake may be in the most danger of all.

You can't tell me you don't want to read any of these books! There's a Jane Austen-inspired story, soul-binding, faery steampunk, and a sequel to one of the coolest books I've ever read! I'd say that makes for a couple of awesome books! ;)
What book are you most excited for?

The Darkness Shows The Stars and Silver are my favourite. P.s I freaking LOVE your blog
ReplyDeleteOh wow is right! I LOVE all those covers Mimi - they are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSome I've already added to my TBR list, but I am definitely scoping out Innocent Darkness and The Soul. I still need to read The Host, but now I know I'll have to do it very soon.
Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend! <3<3<3<3
YES! The Darkness Shows The Stars is the most beautiful cover... I am still in awe of it. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking forward to all of these!
ReplyDeleteI love the first one and I'm a Jane Austen freak so I'm dying to read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Those first three covers are so pretty! Now the one for The Soul is not and I'm hoping that's not the official cover. I finally picked up a copy of The Host this past weekend. I've been wanting to read it but have put it off for some reason.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so excited about For Darkness Shows the Stars and Innocent Darkness. I actually got Innocent Darkness through netgalley and can't wait to start reading it. I'm definitely feeling cover love for both of those books :D
ReplyDeleteAll the best ♥
Mackenzie @ Oh, For the Love of Books!
Awesome choices, Mimi! You know how much of a sucker I am for gorgeous covers, and those three are some of my new favourites. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jade here - I really hope that's not the cover for The Soul. It just doesn't look very professional to me. Regardless, I am super excited for that book too! I actually really enjoyed The Host so I can't wait to read that one. :)
Wow, I didn't know The Host was having a sequel! Lovely choices, Mimi! The cover for Darkness Shows the Stars is SO SO SO gorgeous. <33 I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of it, and I've been drooling over it nonstop. So pretty and the story sounds amazing, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI have NO WORDS for these covers. I first saw For Darkness Shows... and I thought that it couldn't possibly get any better, and then my eyes drifted down to Innocent Darkness and my jaw met the floor. :D
ReplyDeleteThe only one I don't really like is Host 2, but I still want to read the book.
Awesome post, my lovely!
OMG! Is that a possible cover for The Soul??? :O It may not be the most dazzling one out there, but HOLY HELL am I ever excited for it!! :P The Host was probably the only adult book I've ever read that I actually enjoyed. I was terrified that Stephenie might not be continuing with the series, so you can watch me dance that there's at least SOME news surrounding it!
ReplyDeleteA.k.a. There's hope! (:
Thanks a million times over for sharing this, Mimi-Doll! <333333 That's one totally wow-worthy batch you've got there! ;)
Well, WOW. What can I say about these books you keep featuring? I enjoy oohing and ahhing along with you, even over the ones I've already seen! I'm going to be reading Innocent Darkness and For Darkness soon, I'm really looking forward to it. I have Silver on my TBR list, too, fingers crossed the story is as good as the cover!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, sweetie pie. :)

I haven't read The Host yet. I preordered it, and STILL haven't read it.
ReplyDeleteI totally love your cover taste--it's way too awesome! I'm especially in love with For Darkness Shows the Stars though. *pets* Gosh, I can't wait to read these!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover choices! I really can’t wait for For Darkness Shows the Stars (although I kind of wish the title was shorter). I also am really interested in Innocent Darkness’s cover, although I am not so sure I am interested in the story itself.
ReplyDeleteDarlene @ Leather Bound and Lovely
Love those covers!! Innocent Darkness is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI am lusting after all of these books, Mimi. ESPECIALLY Silver. I NEED A COPY OF SILVER IN MY LIFE. I'm so glad you chose to spotlight all of these titles. I have not read The Host so the sequel is one that I can't say I'm anticipating but the others... yes oh yes!
ReplyDeleteI am SO excited about both Silver and For Darkness Shows the Stars!!! Like, SO STINKING MUCH! Their covers are gorgeous and they sound amazing...can't wait for their releases!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to all of these ones too, Mimi. I haven't read Peterfreund's other series but I'm so excited about For Darkness Shows the Stars.
ReplyDeleteI adore the cover of For Darkness Show The Stars! And the synopsis. sounds like a book that's going to be right up my alley. I LOL'd at the cover of Innocent Darkness. I love the way steampunk novels always have a zeppelin in the background somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMIMI. Awesome batch of covers! Don't even get me started on my obsession with For Darkness Shows the Stars. That cover... *tries to breathe* Simply takes my breath away, a hundred times over. Like, I should be dead. Why haven't I read it yet? Damn the release date! I should've read this, like, yesterday. XD
ReplyDeleteInnocent Darkness is one I'm happy to have on my kindle shelf. Looks like such a delicious fantasyish/steampunkish/paranormalish, and what have you, read.
— Asher
I'm really looking forward to For Darkness Shows the Stars because I love basically everything related to Austen!
ReplyDeleteMIMI :O Do you do this every Friday?! I might explode with excitement!! I love staring at pretty covers for an almost unacceptable amount of time x)
ReplyDeleteFor Darkness Shows the Stars is a STUNNER. It is so easy to win me over... all you have to do is add sparkles and FDStS has them in abundance! I love the magical feel of the pose the girl is in too <3 This is definitely a book I'll be on the lookout for come June.
OMG Silver. I hadn't even heard of it before now but wow, it sounds awesome! When reading the summary, I was like, "okay, normal, normal, poor kid, oh cool, accidentally binds her soul... ACCIDENTALLY BINDS HER SOUL?!" I am so excited to read about Brianna and her "bloody heritage." The gorgeous cover is definitely doing it some favours too :)
Innocent Darkness sounds AMAZING and the cover is fhkjahfsdekgdgf beautiful. I just... NO WORDS.
THE SOUL????? Okay, I am clearly the last one to the party but I didn't even know The Host was getting a sequel! I know I've read it before but I thought it was all speculation and rumours :O Eeeee, I'm so excited! The Host was pretty fabulous and I just can't wait to see what happens next! I'm not really loving that cover but who cares! The Soul! YAYAYAYA!
Okay, bedtime now... especially since I've been informed we're leaving the house at 5 AM O_O
Sonia
WOW. I FREAKING LOVE THE COVER OF INNOCENT DARKNESS <3333 And SILVER! Sooo gorgeous <3 Thank you for introducing me to a whole load of new books :DD But if I die from my intimidating TBR pile, I'll hold you responsible!<3 heheee I'm kidding! But still...THOSE BOOKS SOUND AMAZING!!!
ReplyDelete*spit take* WHAT?! A new book by SM!!! Whoa. Good thing I still have time to read The Host before this next one comes out.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sooooo in love with the cover of For Darkness Shows the Stars. I want to be that girl on the cover.
Definitely in love with the cover for The Darkness Shows the Stars. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Silver cover dude!!!! Seriously!!!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAAAAAAAh! Natalia! Where do you find these? BEAUTIFUL covers! I'm really looking forward to For Darkness Shows the Stars. I mean, it sounds AMAZING, AND it's based on a Jane Austen novel? HELLO! I AM THERE. And Silver? OK, I thought from the cover it was fantasy, so the blurb threw me. WANT!
ReplyDeleteAnd did you ay fairy steampunk? Uh... I think I love you.
Also: OMG! I SO hope that cover and release date for The Soul are real. PLEASE?
You always pick the books I'm crazy excited to read, I'm convinced you have access to your loyal minion readers minds :D Well, the exception being The Soul because I haven't read The Host. The cover does look kinda fanmade, but I ADORE all the others so, SO much! And OMG they sound amazing. I still have yet to read Diana's badass unicorn books, but they're high on my wishlist, as is FDSTS. Silver sounds SO intriguing and different and I want to know more.
ReplyDeleteAND STEAMPUNK. FAERIES. And that cover is probably my favourite of them all. It's just so... COOL!
OMG OMG I was going to do a decent comment saying something about each cover but THE SOUL!! The Host is one of my definitely-all-time-favorites which I read last year (and I had bought it, like, years ago, when it first came out). I'm so excited for the sequel, and even if the cover is not as eye-catching as the first, I'm still dying to read it. And it comes out this August! *dies*
ReplyDeleteOnto the others... For Darkness Shows the Stars is my favorite. I mean, look at those stars! They are just so so beautiful. And the girl, with her beautiful dress, half-transparent... <3
Although Silver is the one that chatches my attention the most with its summary, the cover hasn't convinced me yet. There's something about the colors, the black, that doesn't seem right :S
Anyways, beautiful covers, Mimi! Certainly wow-ing material ♥
Awesome cover picks for this week, Mimi! Like always. ;) For Darkness Shows the Stars is seriously gorgeous cover! The moment I saw the cover, I fell in love instantly too! I can't believe that there is a book with cover that impressive! The book definitely made my wishlist, purely because of the cover LOL! <3
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time seeing Silver. How can I was completely in lost at the book?? The blurb sounds completely original! I smiled when I read the part that she thinks she's lack of pheromone! I'm really curios what she is actually! Innocent Darkness is on my TBR list and I agree, Mimi, the cover is amazing! :)
Yay, finally they show cover for The Soul! It's not the best cover out there for certain. Finger crossed it's not the final cover! :D
Much love for all of these covers. I can't wait to get my hands on these books. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking forward to all of these!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ;__; (teary-eyed from the eye candy)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Ms. Peterfreund's killer unicorns, but never read her other books; I'll be looking forward to that first one!!! <3
Vivian @ Vivaciously, Vivian
I so love the cover os Innocent Darkness, lol it makes me want to read it right now!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally the WOW edition! I LOVE the Darkness shows the stars cover! It's soo beautiful and soul-stirring <3 I totally gasped when I saw it! And I did not know The Soul was going to be out! I remember liking The Host, despite it not creating as much buzz as Twilight. In fact, I liked it so much better than the Twilight series! I'm kinda excited for it to come out :D this post is pure awesomeness! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower ^^
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of For darkness shows the stars. And the title is pretty.
I am so with you on these covers. Gorgeous and I especially love the one for For Darkness Shows the Stars - it's stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
I agree with you about For Darkness In Our Stars, love all the stars and the font! Also it sounds really great, I always forget about the Persuasion bit and get excited all over again. Yes about the Soul! I enjoyed the Host a lot more than I thought I would and I'm curious about the sequel. I'm excited for the film, haha.
