I'm super excited today to be a part of the cover reveal for the second book in Jessica Shirvington's paranormal young adult series, Entice.
What do we think? I really like the darker nature of it - it's a little grittier and a little more haunting than the cover for Embrace, but I love how the two are linked with the type treatment, the wings, and the use of purple.
Jessica and the fabulous people over at Sourcebooks Fire have provided a quick glimpse into what's in store for Violet:
“Two tutors and three students from the Grigori training center in New York were arriving in two days and I couldn’t be happier. I was going to be able to learn from the experts and have people my own age to train with, something I really needed. I was sure with their help I would be able to get over whatever it was that had been holding me back.
Griffin had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the two senior Grigori –the intelligence, resources and backup they could provide was much needed. The Scripture that can decipher the identity of all Grigori, even those who have not yet embraced and are therefore defenseless, was at stake.
I would not stand by and watch it fall into the hands of exiles. If they found they key to destroying all Grigori and gained the upper hand, the slaughter would not stop until all the humans knelt before them, worshipping them as gods.”
For those who can't wait until September 1st to read, fear not, you can check out the first two chapters of Entice HERE. Woot! Also, Jessica Shirvington will be coming to the US for a two week tour starting September 18th, and you can check for all the latest details regarding the tour on the Embrace website.
If all that goodness wasn't enough, Jessica has also posted a video blog wherein she discusses all sorts of fun things from the comfort of her very favorite chair. Enjoy!
I love that this cover is gritter than you might expect. It looks amazing! I adore the colours too. Thanks for sharing, Jenny! :)
ReplyDeletePurple is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteThis cover is so gorgeous!
Cool! I like it
ReplyDeleteI dig it but I'm not sure about the tattoos.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...Almost looks like a different series now because the covers are so different. But yeah, I like the dark, edgy look.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a new series! It really looks like adult UF to me, but I have to say I really like it.
ReplyDeleteOh I need this one because I need to know what happens. :)
I'm with Melissa- I think that it looks more like an adult UF. But regardless, I still like it! And I must read this series- I have had Embrace on my shelves now for close to 1/2 a year... :O! ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty racy for YA but I like it. I don't know what the story is about so that excerpt didn't make a lot of sense to me.

ReplyDeleteI love this cover! But it doesn't really loom YA does it :P

I definitely like the darkness of this one. It's a lot more like an adult urban fantasy cover. Added to wishlist!
