Cover Lust: The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan


Cover Lust is something that I do every week where I feature a book cover that I absolutely love!



The Beautiful and the Cursed (The Dispossessed, #1)
After a bizarre accident, Ingrid Waverly is forced to leave London with her mother and younger sister, Gabby, trading a world full of fancy dresses and society events for the unfamiliar city of Paris.

In Paris there are no grand balls or glittering parties, and, disturbingly, the house Ingrid’s twin brother, Grayson, found for them isn’t a house at all. It’s an abandoned abbey, its roof lined with stone gargoyles that could almost be mistaken for living, breathing creatures.

And Grayson has gone missing.

No one seems to know of his whereabouts but Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant at their new home.


Ingrid is sure her twin isn’t dead—she can feel it deep in her soul—but she knows he’s in grave danger. It will be up to her and Gabby to navigate the twisted path to Grayson, a path that will lead Ingrid on a discovery of dark secrets and otherworldly truths. And she’ll learn that once they are uncovered, they can never again be buried.

Debut Author Giveaway Hop! (US ONLY)

2014 Debut Author Giveaway hop

Ello! Welcome to the Debut Author Giveaway Hop!
Hosted by I Am a Reader & Bookhounds!

I will be offering up a hardcover copy of My Last Kiss
Here's a bit about the book:

My Last Kiss
What if your last kiss was with the wrong boy?
 Cassidy Haines remembers her first kiss vividly. It was on the old covered bridge the summer before her freshman year with her boyfriend of three years, Ethan Keys. But her last kiss--the one she shared with someone at her seventeenth birthday party the night she died--is a blur. Cassidy is trapped in the living world, not only mourning the loss of her human body, but left with the grim suspicion that her untimely death wasn't a suicide as everyone assumes. She can't remember anything from the weeks leading up to her birthday and she's worried that she may have betrayed her boyfriend.
 If Cassidy is to uncover the truth about that fateful night and make amends with the only boy she'll ever love, she must face her past and all the decisions she made--good and bad--that led to her last kiss.
 Bethany Neal's suspenseful debut novel is about the power of first love and the haunting lies that threaten to tear it apart.

Cover vs. Cover: Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott

This week's pick is...

Fire & Flood (Fire & Flood, #1)VS.  Fire & Flood - Victoria Scott, redesign, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16069167-fire-flood?ac=1
Original                     Redesign
ACK! I hate the redesign so much! It's just a flaming eyeball, which is not original, it's tacky, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the book! I LOVE the original cover! It's one of my all-time favorite covers! I love the text, the little water droplets. And the flaming feather is actually significant to the story!

Final Verdict: Original
Do you agree? Give me your thoughts on which cover is the best!

Waiting on Wednesday: The Cage by Megan Shepherd

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where you talk about whatever book you are IMPATIENTLY WAITING for!

This week I am waiting for...

The Cage (The Cage, #1)
When Cora Mason wakes in a desert, she doesn't know where she is or who put her there. As she explores, she finds an impossible mix of environments--tundra next to desert, farm next to jungle--and a strangely empty town cobbled together from different cultures and time periods, all watched over by eerie black windows. And she isn't alone.

Four other teenagers have also been taken: a beautiful model, a tattooed smuggler, a secretive genius, and an army brat who seems to know too much about Cora's past. None of them have a clue as to what happened, and all of them have secrets. As the unlikely group struggles for leadership, they slowly start to trust each other. But when their mysterious jailer appears--a handsome young guard named Cassian--they realize that their captivity is more terrifying than they could ever imagine: their captors aren't from Earth. And they have taken they five teenagers to an otherworldly zoo--where the exhibits are humans.
 When a forbidden attraction develops between Cora and Cassian, she realizes that her best chance of escape might be in the arms of her own jailer--though that would mean leaving the others behind. Can Cora manage to save herself and her companions? And if so…what world lies beyond the walls of their cage?

Release Date: May 26th 2015

Why am I waiting?
Not only is Megan Shepherd amazing, but "a strangely empty town cobbled together from different cultures and time periods, all watched over by eerie black windows?" YES! I NEED THIS!
