Cover Love #1

 

The Rules: Choose a cover (or two, or three), preferably new-ish, and share what you like about it. Grab my graphic or don't (just so long as you link back). I'll be posting Cover Love every Monday but feel free to post yours on whatever day works best for you.

 

For this week I’ve chosen two books and they look amazing.

 

House Rules

Chicagoland Vampires #7

I loved this cover and the series shows Merit growing as a vampire and learning more of life and love. Plus Ethan is pure sexiness.

 

In a city full of vampires, trouble never sleeps.

At the tender age of 27, Merit became a sword-wielding vampire. Since then, she’s become the protector of her House, watched Chicago nearly burn to the ground, and seen her Master fall and rise. Now she’ll see her mettle—and her metal —tested like never before.

It started with two . . . Two rogues vanishing without a trace. Someone is targeting Chicago’s vampires, and anyone could be next. With their house in peril, Merit and her Master, the centuries old Ethan Sullivan, must race to stop the disappearances. But as they untangle a web of secret alliances and ancient evils, they realize their foe is more familiar, and more powerful, than they could have ever imagined.

I first saw this cover on Wednesday I think and after comparing with the American decided that this one was better to show her. Loved how the faces are luminous and the girls are both looking directly at us. Sounds like a good read too.

 

Just because Mel lives in New Whitby, a city founded by vampires, doesn’t mean she knows any of the blood-drinking undead personally. They stay in their part of town; she says in hers. Until the day a vampire shows up at her high school. Worse yet, her best friend, Cathy, seems to be falling in love with him. It’s up to Mel to save Cathy from a mistake she might regret for all eternity!

On top of trying to help Cathy (whether she wants it or not), Mel is investigating a mysterious disappearance for another friend and discovering the attractions of a certain vampire wannabe. Combine all this with a cranky vampire cop, a number of unlikely romantic entanglements, and the occasional zombie, and soon Mel is hip-deep in an adventure that is equal parts hilarious and touching.
