This is the cover to Lauren DeStefano's next book in the Chemical Gardens series. Isn't it beautiful?
I <3 the rocking horse and the colors!

Synopsis: Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago - surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness.The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous - and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they can’t seem to elude Rhine’s father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion...by any means necessary. In the sequel to Lauren DeStefano’s harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price - now that she has more to lose than ever.
So who else is excited?!
She looks kind of drugged. Like she is falling asleep, or trying not to go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go out on a limb here and say, I'm not sure I dig this one. For some reason the girls expression bothers me. I do however like the inside flaps and kudos for showing us an image of the entire thing :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like the girls' face but I love everything else.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with some of the other posters - I love the colors, I love teh rocking horse. But her expression? Not so much - she looks exhausted and annoyed.
ReplyDeleteEEEE so excited for Fever. I love the cover, although the girl is posing in an awkward way. =P Ah well. I love the colors!!
ReplyDeleteSorry I really don't like this cover for book 2 - it looks all wrong. It doesn't fit the feel the books are giving me.
ReplyDeleteI am WICKED excited dude!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks okay! I really don't like the girl on the cover, but I do like the inside!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, now that you guys mention it, her face DOES look drugged or at least sleepy lol.
ReplyDeleteI do love the colors though and the rocking horse :)
Loving all your comments!
Not so much a fan either. I like the concept, but it seems to me like this is more of a shot from the photo shoot that wouldn't make the final cut. It's a little too busy. If the rocking horse was out of focus with just the girl in focus, that would be kind of cool, or just zoomed in more on her face with a more subtle background.
ReplyDeleteI do like the geometric design elements; it worked on the last cover, but not so much here w/ the busy-background.
Thanks for sharing!
I like the cover because it matches the theme of Wither's cover (which is absolutely GORGEOUS!) But I'm not so sure that I like the girl's body position. It look like she's either on something or is having a post-prom, teenage girl meltdown, like "Uhg! Moooooom!"
ReplyDeleteI really liked WITHER and I'm excited for FEVER! Honestly, I still like WITHER's cover better, but once I read FEVER, I'll probably understand FEVER's cover better. I love how they highlight our attention to important images in the cover :)
