'Camille Fitzgerald failed her first "family" of Sibyls and lost them, along with much of the fiery elemental energy that powers her soul. As lethal Rakshasa demons kill at will, she battles beside the warriors who have become her new sisters, desperate to preserve the flaming strength she's regained. Nothing can stop her now, except new, devastating losses—and John Cole, the most dangerous man in New York City.'

Thoughts: I hold a soft spot for the shades veering into deeper set tones. The font inlaid on top of it makes it a beauty of sorts.

'Ex-cop Lily Yu and werewolf Rule Turner’s engagement announcement is stirring up ugly passions in the Humans First camp. There’s hate mail, followed by death threats. And when a lupus in Tennessee goes on a killing spree, Lily realizes that it’s only the opening skirmish in an all-out war.'

Thoughts: I like the effects in combination and the focus that brings all eyes to touch upon the heroine.

Thoughts: Atmospheric background, a teaser of a distraught world, a possessive embrace: Do I need to be starting this series?

Release: TBD

Summary: N/A

The preliminary cover for Everdark, the next installment within The Dark Ink Chronicles series after Afterlight.

Thoughts: Pretty. The pink-purple hue layering the landscape along with the presence of a graveyard and I'm intrigued.

From faceless to revealed partially, the features of the heroine remain a mystery on both cover revelations to date.

The Dark Ink Chronicles #1

Release: November 2nd, 2010

'Blood is thicker than ink.

There is a reason we fear the night. . .

As Savannah's most unconventional tattoo artist, Riley Poe is quite familiar with the local underground scene. She lives and works on the edge of it every day.

Now, she's about to step over the edge.

When her younger brother is taken by a sinister cult led by centuries-old vampires, Riley discovers a world of shadows and blood--and those who exist there.

Her ally is the hot-tempered vampire Eli Dupre, who is attracted both to Riley's beauty as well as her one-of-a-kind blood type. A blood type he is not alone in craving.

To save her brother from certain un-death, Riley will face dangers she's never dreamed of, ruthless bloodthirsty enemies, and an evil of endless hunger that wants to devour all in its vile grasp.'

Dragon’s Heat Series #2

'In her ten year career with the CDC, noted hematologist Jasmine Kane has been in many of the world’s hotspots. Fiercely dedicated to her job and filled with a wanderlust that can’t be denied, she’s spent most of her life with her bags packed and one foot out the door. So when an injury puts her on extended medical leave, keeping her out of the field and locked in her Atlanta apartment, she nearly goes stir-crazy—until a call comes in from an old friend, asking her to visit a lab in New Mexico and help isolate hemorrhagic properties in a strange, engineered disease. Before Phoebe can so much as say dragon, Jasmine’s out the door and on her way to Las Cruces.

Quinn Maguire is an ancient dragon shapeshifter—and healer for his clan. For hundreds of years he’s worked to keep his people safe, sacrificing any kind of personal life in his quest to keep the Dragonstar clan from dying out. And for centuries it’s worked. He’s lost friends and lovers because of his obsession, but at least the Dragonstars have not perished as so many of the dragon clans have in the last three hundred years. But now he’s faced with something he can’t solve, a disease engineered by his clan’s mortal enemies and one that may do what war, difficulty in childbirth and an encroaching human population hasn’t—wipe out his people for good. Desperate to stop the disease, he’s willing to try anything—even working with a human hematologist, one whose very presence sets him on fire. . .'

Thoughts: The detail, tattoo and tag line earned a good read through of the summary.
