A few covers
have been revealed in the last week or so, so I thought I would share them for
your viewing pleasure.
Nobody’s
Goddess by Amy McNulty
In a village of masked men, each loves only one
woman and must follow the commands of his “goddess” without question. A woman
may reject the only man who will love her if she pleases, but she will be alone
forever. And a man must stay masked until his goddess returns his love—and if
she can’t or won’t, he remains masked forever.
Where the rest of her village celebrates this
mystery that binds men and women together, seventeen year old Noll is just done
with it. She’s lost all her childhood friends as they’ve paired off, but the
worst blow was when her closest companion, Jurij, finds his goddess in Noll’s
own sister. Desperate to find a way to break this ancient spell, Noll instead
discovers why no man has ever loved her: she is in fact the goddess of the
mysterious lord of the village, a Byronic man who refuses to let Noll have her
right as a woman to spurn him and who has the power to fight the curse. Thus
begins a dangerous game between the two: the choice of woman versus the magic
of man. And the stakes are no less than freedom and happiness, life and
death—and neither Noll nor the veiled man is willing to lose.
Dream
a Little Dream by Kerstin Gier
Mysterious doors with lizard-head knobs. Talking
stone statues. A crazy girl with a hatchet. Yep, Liv’s dreams have been pretty
weird lately. Especially this one where she’s in a graveyard at night, watching
four boys perform dark magic rituals.
The really weird thing is that Liv recognizes the
boys in her dream. They’re classmates from her new school in London, the school
where’s she’s starting over because her mom has moved them to a new country
(again). But they seem to know things about her in real life that they couldn’t
possibly know, which is mystifying. Then again, Liv could never resist a good
mystery. . . .
Lying Out
Loud by Kody Keplinger
Kody Keplinger returns to the world of The DUFF in
this brand-new companion novel!
Sonny Ardmore is an excellent liar. She lies about
her dad being in prison. She lies about her mom kicking her out. And she lies
about sneaking into her best friend's house every night because she has nowhere
else to go.
Amy Rush might be the only person Sonny shares
everything with -- secrets, clothes, even a nemesis named Ryder Cross.
Ryder's the new kid at Hamilton High and everything
Sonny and Amy can't stand -- a prep-school snob. But Ryder has a weakness: Amy.
So when Ryder emails Amy asking her out, the friends see it as a prank
opportunity not to be missed.
But without meaning to, Sonny ends up talking to
Ryder all night online. And to her horror, she realizes that she might actually
like him. Only there's one small catch: he thinks he's been talking to Amy. So
Sonny comes up with an elaborate scheme to help Ryder realize that she's the
girl he's really wanted all along. Can Sonny lie her way to the truth, or will
all her lies end up costing her both Ryder and Amy?
Hidden
Huntress by Danielle L. Jensen
Sometimes, one must accomplish the impossible.
Beneath the mountain, the king’s reign of tyranny is
absolute; the one troll with the capacity to challenge him is imprisoned for
treason. Cécile has escaped the darkness of Trollus, but she learns all too
quickly that she is not beyond the reach of the king’s power. Or his
manipulation.
Recovered from her injuries, she now lives with her
mother in Trianon and graces the opera stage every night. But by day she
searches for the witch who has eluded the trolls for five hundred years.
Whether she succeeds or fails, the costs to those she cares about will be high.
To find Anushka, she must delve into magic that is
both dark and deadly. But the witch is a clever creature. And Cécile might not
just be the hunter. She might also be the hunted…

So I think my favorite out of the bunch is Hidden Huntress, but I'm not a huge fan of the others. What are your thoughts?
