Covers Unveiled: Blood Magic – Karin Tabke, R. G. Alexander, Sheri Whitefeather, Karen Chance, Kat Richardson, Michelle Rowen, J. N. Duncan, Kalayna Price, Devon Monk, Suzanne McLeod

Note: Some of these covers may not be final.

imageBLOOD LAW by Karin Tabke.

A Blood Moon Rising Novel; first in a trilogy featuring werewolves.

Genre: Erotic Paranormal Romance.

Release: May 3, 2011
As undisputed Alpha, Rafael must choose a life mate to preserve the dominance of his Lycan pack. He never suspected his mate would be a human, the same wounded girl-woman he seduced from the brink of death.

Falon is a dangerous combination of Lycan and
Slayer—bred to destroy his kind. She’s also a
mesmerizing beauty whose sensuality tempts the
warrior to take risks. Surrendering to their primal
heat could destroy them both… for a vengeful foe
awaits to take what is rightfully his by Blood Law.
Thoughts: Silk and flesh, woman and man. I favour the intimate and rough contrasts showcased here.



imageTHREE SINFUL WISHES by R. G. Alexander.

Genre: Erotic Romance.

Release: June 7, 2011.
In hot and steamy Sedona, Arizona, three women are about to be granted their most intimate desires.

Dani, Bailey, and Kaya think they know what they want from life—success, independence, and a gorgeous man to share their beds—but when they perform an old wish-making ritual together, each of them gets a sinful surprise.

In these three interrelated love stories, these women discover that two is company... and three is even better.
Connected Book:
possess me




Thoughts: A possibly guiding star matched with sin colours, a turquoise tint and a familiar boxed in (but not crowded) design that stamped POSSESS ME which runs in the same vein of genre.







imageMYSTERIA NIGHTS by P. C. Cast, Mary Janice Davidson, Susan Grant and Gena Showalter.

Genre: Paranormal Romance.

Release: July 5, 2011.

Edition: 2-in-1 edition combining the novellas within Mysteria and Mysteria Lane.
Welcome to Mysteria, Colorado, home to a vegan
vampire, a neighborly werewolf, a pair of sisterly
witches, a demon nanny, and more. Passions run
high in this hot two-in-one omnibus edition of
Mysteria and Mysteria Lane.
Previous Books/Other Editions:

mysteria laneMysteria







Thoughts: Too busy for me. I prefer the art of the more recently released, Mysteria Lane for the balance struck between less elements and techniques.





imageDEMONIC by Sheri Whitefeather.

Genre: Erotic Romance.

Release: August 2, 2011.
Some men are so dark, so dangerous, and so exciting it’s just not humanly possible...

Writer Jane Brooks enlists her two friends, Emily and Suzanne, to help research an article by combing an underground sex club where patrons masquerade as supernatural beings and engage in the most bizarre erotic games imaginable—and unimaginable. Then three men disguised as demons convince Jane and her friends to become more than spectators.

They can’t say no to such powerful, demanding,
desirable strangers. But is it really just a masquerade?
Thoughts: A trio of fire and shadow with an obscurity of features. The impact created overall threw this one into my appreciative side of symbolism and colour.

Deadworld - J. N. Duncan - NOVEMBER 2010 REVEALDEADWORLD by J. N. Duncan.

Genre: Urban Fantasy.

Release: April 2011
She’s as tough as anything haunting Chicago’s streets. But to deal with an inhuman power that won’t stay buried, this FBI agent needs help that comes at an immortal price…

Jackie Rutledge has seen her share of supernatural killers. But her latest murder case is what recurring nightmares are made of. Brutally exsanguinated human victims, vanishing-into-the-ether evidence, and a city on the edge of panic mean that she and her psychic partner, Laurel, are going to need more than just backup …

So Jackie is fine with any help rugged P.I. Nick Anderson can give—even if that includes the impish ghost and sexy vampire who make up his team. But Nick is hiding secrets of his own. And Jackie’s investigation has plunged them both into a vengeful game reaching back centuries—and up against a malevolent force hungry for more than just victory…
Thoughts: Gun, chick and moon – one seemingly standard protocol for UF covers with flare. The tag line attached grabbed my attention too.

Alex Craft Novel #2

Genre: Urban Fantasy.

Release: July 5th, 2011.

The seductive vampire Malik al-Khan has vanished back into the shadows. And the witches have declared her no longer a threat. But unless Genny can find a way to break the fertility curse afflicting London's fae, she knows this is just the lull before the magical storm. Then a faeling - a teenage girl - is fished out of the River Thames, dead and bound with magic, and Genny is called into investigate. As she digs through the clues, her search takes a sinister and dangerous turn, exposing age-old secrets that might be better left buried. Then another faeling disappears, and Genny finds herself in a race against time to save the faeling and stop the curse from claiming its next victim - herself!

Thoughts: Contrasts galore, but the face of the heroine looks too porcelain-like for my tastes.
