When I logged in to my Amazon account and checked my recommendations these books popped up and I just had to share them! I LOVE anything with the color red on it and the crimson details on these covers are incredible. They are available now for preorder and will release early 2011. I haven't read the last few books in the House of Night series by Kristin Cast and P.C. Cast but this cover is just so great I might have to pick it up and start reading this series again! Awakened (House of Night, Book 8) by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast ************************************************************** I am definitely getting this book since I just love the Blue Bloods series and even though this is a novella (not a fan of short stories) I will be reading this! Bloody Valentine : A Blue Bloods Novella by Melissa de la Cruz ************************************************************** Any upcoming covers out there that have caught your eye?
