What a beautiful cover. I remember when I first saw it my initial thought was, Oh, please don't let it suck . I know that sounds harsh, but sometimes a cover just calls out to you and you know when you finally hold a physical copy of the book itself you'll just want to stroke it and love it and tell it it's found its home on your shelves. Unfortunately, the innards (as my boy is fond of saying) don't always match the outtards. And then I am forced to cry. Because . . . so pretty. So when a review copy of Stacey Jay 's Juliet Immortal came my way, I held my breath. Just a bit. Okay, maybe for the first five pages or so. Thankfully, that's all it took. Because this innovative retelling (of sorts) of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has teeth. And they sank into me with delicious ferocity. This was my first foray with Stacey Jay , though I know she has a handful of books already out. After this encounter, I look forward to checking out her other work. Juliet...
I really like the cover!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like the groove they've got going on with all three of her covers.
ReplyDeleteBlue butterflys seem to be an in-thing for covers--this is the third I've seen for 2008-2009...
ReplyDeleteStrange.
I read Ink Exchange recently, and enjoyed it much more than I thought I was going to, so now I'm looking forward to this one!
Interesting how there seem to be cover trends like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed INK EXCHANGE, Charlotte. I really did as well. It was so different from WICKED LOVELY that I'm interested to see what kind of tone the third installment takes.
