Somehow the end of the year is here. And we're all here. And I still feel like placing this post in this space. So I shall. With gratitude and a certain wistful hope. For us all. But especially for these books, the people that walk them, their words, and their creators.

Oh! Oh! Oh Oh Oooooooo!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this cover. Great colors for the text and I just LOVE cover art with snow. Thanks for the heads up, Angie.
I'm imagining that Ilona gets a lot of pressure for fans about Kate & Curran, but I'm totally fine---more than fine--with how it's all been working out so far and I do trust the author to write her best story no matter what happens and I won't be angry or devastated if what I want never happens.
But I'm still hoping. ;)
MINEEEEE!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was pleased when I read Ilona's post about Kate and Curran, but I trust her (and her husband) with this series. Even if things don't work out between Curran and Kate, I really believe they'll handle in a satisfying way.
Seeing the new cover makes me want to pull out the other books for a reread, but I have too much on my plate to allow myself that. Maybe closer to the pub date.

ooh, I like it! Lets hope that Kate and Curran get something going on!
ReplyDeleteChristine, I love it, too! The snow is such a nice effect. And I agree with you wholeheartedly. I trust Ilona and Gordon completely. But I haven't relinquished my hopes. :)
ReplyDeleteJanicu, LOL.
Karen, absolutely. And I'm dying for a re-read, but my copies have been loaned out to various people for what seems like forever! Must get them back. That or buy 2nd copies!
Laura, I really, really share that hope. hehe.
Oooh nice to see a cover.
ReplyDeleteUmmm I will be the one dissenting voice and say that I'm not massively bowled over, not quite sure why. The colour scheme isn't quite doing it for me, I think. Also snow for a May release??
On the other hand, I notice the font size for the author name is now as large as the title AND they get the Great Read Guaranteed stamp (which Patricia Briggs also had, IIRC) - all good signs!
Despite not loving the cover, I can't wait for May :-)
Li, I hear ya. The colors of the title and name aren't my favorite. Too bright and cheery for Kate. I hadn't thought about the release time, but you're right. I think it works seeing it now as we're heading into snow season.
ReplyDeleteGood point on the good signs. This series deserves so much attention!
May 2freakin5th!? Man, that's a long time! Is it just me, or do her boobs get bigger with each cover? lol
ReplyDeleteI am so exicited I can't stand it! *jumps around, bites nails*
ReplyDeleteElisa, I know! Grrr. And, yes, her boobs do seem to be enlarging with each installment. Similar to the Mercy Thompson covers, they're always presented much more provocatively than I think the character would be comfortable with. Neither of my two favorite urban fantasy heroines would look or pose or dress thus. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteTiah, so am I!! *bounce*
I love all the Kate Daniels covers.. I really like the colors on this one. I agree with you about the Mercy covers, when I'm reading I keep glancing back at the cover trying to get a feel for her, but she looks a tad bit over the top I'm positive thats not how she is dressed to work on VWs. I still love them though lol.
ReplyDeleteCaitlin, definitely not. lol. I love them, too, though. The Mercy artist is really great!
