What else could possibly go along with a shivery, thrilling new YA Paranormal by Rhiannon Frater and Kody Boye but a cover by Claudia at Phatpuppy Art? I can’t even think of any more superlatives to heap on Claudia anymore – her covers just make me..gaaaah. She’s done some others for Rhiannon (Pretty When She Kills, The Last Bastion of the Living and the new covers for The Tale of the Vampire Bride and The Vengeance of the Vampire Bride) that are amazing too and she really has a feel for the characters. Just looking at the cover, knowing the way they all work together – I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
