Some awesome covers have been revealed lately, so I thought
I’d share them on the blog! I think 2018 is going to be an even better book
year than 2017 has been.
(Ruined #3)
Publication
Date: May 1, 2018
Hardcover, 320 pages, HarperTeen
Genres:
YA, Fantasy
Note: This description is for book
one in the series, Ruined.
A revenge that will consume her. A
love that will ruin her.
Emelina Flores has nothing. Her
home in Ruina has been ravaged by war. She lacks the powers of her fellow
Ruined. Worst of all, she witnessed her parents’ brutal murders and watched
helplessly as her sister, Olivia, was kidnapped.
But because Em has nothing, she has
nothing to lose. Driven by a blind desire for revenge, Em sets off on a
dangerous journey to the enemy kingdom of Lera. Somewhere within Lera’s
borders, Em hopes to find Olivia. But in order to find her, Em must infiltrate
the royal family.
In a brilliant, elaborate plan of
deception and murder, Em marries Prince Casimir, next in line to take Lera’s
throne. If anyone in Lera discovers Em is not Casimir’s true betrothed, Em will
be executed on the spot. But it’s the only way to salvage Em’s kingdom and what
is left of her family.
Em is determined to succeed, but
the closer she gets to the prince, the more she questions her mission. Em’s
rage-filled heart begins to soften. But with her life—and her family—on the
line, love could be Em’s deadliest mistake.
My Thoughts
I’ve read the first two books in this series, so I want to
know what happens. However, I wasn’t too terribly impressed with the second
book. I hope Allied will revive the series
for me.
I’m in love with its cover, though! This thing is absolutely
gorgeous!

Rage
(Stormheart #2)
Publication Date: June 5, 2018
Hardcover, 352
pages, Tor Teen
Genres: YA, Fantasy
New
York Times bestselling author Cora
Carmack's young adult debut series: the second in a captivating new YA
fantasy/romance series perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard
Princess or adventurer.
Duty or freedom.
Her Kingdom or the Stormhunter she
loves.
If Aurora knows anything, it's that
choices have consequences. To set things right, she joins a growing revolution
on the streets of Pavan.
In disguise as the rebel Roar, she
puts her knowledge of the palace to use to aid the rebellion. But the Rage
season is at its peak and not a day passes without the skies raining down
destruction. Yet these storms are different—they churn with darkness, and
attack with a will that’s desperate and violent.
This feels like more than rage.
It feels like war.
My Thoughts
I’m currently reading the first book in this series, and I’m
loving it! While I think the first cover is the prettiest of the two, this
cover is also stunning! The orange is beautiful.

(The Lady Janies #2)
Publication
Date: June 26, 2018
Hardcover, 512 pages, HarperTeen
Genres:
YA, Historical Fiction
You may think you know the story.
After a miserable childhood, penniless orphan Jane Eyre becomes a governess at
Thornfield Hall. There, she meets one dark, brooding Mr. Rochester. Despite
their significant age gap (yikes) and his uneven temper (YIKES) they fall in
love--and, Reader, she marries him.
My Thoughts
I still haven’t read the first book, but Cynthia Hand and
Brodi Ashton are two authors I really enjoy. I’ve yet to read a Jodi Meadows
book, though.
As for the cover, the blue and yellow combination is very
pleasing to my eyes. I love this one way more than the first book.

These Rebel Waves
(Stream Raiders #1)
Publication Date: July 3, 2018
Hardcover, Balzer
+ Bray
Genres: YA, Fantasy
Inspired by the Spanish
Inquisition, Raasch's duology takes place on the magic-rich island of Grace
Loray, which five years ago overthrew its oppressor country, Argrid. Argrid is
a country ruled by religion and has an inherent fear of Grace Loray's enchanted
properties. So, when an Argridian delegate vanishes during peace talks, the
country quickly places blame on Grace Loray's people and their magic.
Trapped in the middle of this reinvigorated
war are three teenagers: There's Adeluna, a soldier who helped overthrow
Argrid; Devereux, a pirate, or "Stream Raider," who deals in magic
and becomes a target in the Argridian diplomat's abduction; and Benat, the
Crown Prince of Argrid and a heretic, who is obsessed with Grace Loray's magic.
My Thoughts
I wasn’t super fond of this cover at first, simply because I
couldn’t see the waves behind the symbol and I thought the background was a
plain black. Now, though, I can’t stop looking at it. I love those pretty
waves. I can’t wait to add this book to my shelves!

(Rebel of the Sands#3)
Publication
Date: March 6, 2018
Hardcover, 464 pages, Viking Books for Young Readers
Genres:
YA, Fantasy
When gunslinging Amani Al'Hiza
escaped her dead-end town, she never imagined she'd join a revolution, let
alone lead one. But after the bloodthirsty Sultan of Miraji imprisoned the
Rebel Prince Ahmed in the mythical city of Eremot, she doesn't have a choice.
Armed with only her revolver, her wits, and her untameable Demdji powers, Amani
must rally her skeleton crew of rebels for a rescue mission through the
unforgiving desert to a place that, according to maps, doesn't exist. As she
watches those she loves most lay their lives on the line against ghouls and
enemy soldiers, Amani questions whether she can be the leader they need or if
she is leading them all to their deaths.
My Thoughts
I really love the cover redesign for this series. I’m a
sucker for people on my book covers. I know a lot of people hate it, but I’m a
huge fan 75% of the time.

Alright, there you
have it. Those are some recent cover reveals I was excited to share with you.
It’s interesting that all but one are YA fantasy novels. I guess I know what
genre I’ll be reading next year.
What recent cover
reveals are you excited about?
