Uncovered (30): The Blessed + ARC Giveaway (US)


This week's book on Uncovered is one that I've had my eye on for a while now. It is The Blessed by Tonya Hurley, which I think has a gorgeous cover. Man, I love everything about it. I love the girl's face and hair; she looks ethereal but also somewhat surreal. Love the font and the way the lighting comes at her from behind, creating a halo effect which is appropriate. She's pretty but also sorta creepy. This has a very Mark Ryden/Tim Burton feel to it, which I am a fan of. The Blessed will be released on September 25th 2012 by Simon & Schuster.

The cover artist is Natalie Shau, who does incredible photography and artwork. You should definitely check out her website if you get a chance. She has some really amazing stuff up.

    I've had my eye on this book for a while. The girl reminds me of Amanda Seyfried. Thanks for the opportunity!

    I really like this cover too! She looks pretty creepy but still pretty. I love the colors used too - it seems to make it look all the more ethereal. Thanks for the giveaway!

    I think they did great with marketing this. Look at this pic from The Story Siren https://twitter.com/thestorysiren/status/245283265693487104 (of course she got a super-special package in the mail, haha!)
