Cover Reveal: The Collector

Just last week, I was introduced to a new book coming out next year: The Collector. Check out the goodreads summary and see what you think...

- - - 

He makes good girls...bad. 

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence has made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple, weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal opportunity collector and doesn’t want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within 10 days.

Dante doesn’t know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky, Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect—he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector, and uncover emotions deeply buried.

And NOW I have the pleasure of revealing the cover (thanks to Entangled Publishing)

I like it! A lot! The use of grey, white, red, and black, the simple text...and the background. What do you all think of the summary and/or the cover?

WoW: Etiquette & Espionage

Waiting on Wednesday: Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Garriger

Release: February 13, 2013

Summary (From Goodreads)

It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to finishing school.

Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is the bane of her mother's existence. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper etiquette at tea--and god forbid anyone see her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. She enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.

But little do Sophronia or her mother know that this is a school where ingenious young girls learn to finish, all right--but it's a different kind of finishing. Mademoiselle Geraldine's certainly trains young ladies in the finer arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but also in the other kinds of finishing: the fine arts of death, diversion, deceit, espionage, and the modern weaponries. Sophronia and her friends are going to have a rousing first year at school.

First in a four book YA series set 25 years before the Parasol Protectorate but in the same universe

I have yet to read her Parasol Protectorate series, but I've heard great things about it! And I will dive into those books when I have the time. Anyway, doesn't this book sound awesome? I can't wait for it to be released! And I don't think I will need to read the Parasol Protectorate novels in order to enjoy this.  Also, the cover is pretty...unique. I like that! What are you all waiting on this week?
