Divergent Poster/ The Murder Complex Cover Reveal!

And here it is! It looks absolutely b-e-a-utiful! The colors are so intense and I love how the hook is placed between the words. So cool. In case you didn't see my last post about The Murder Complex, this book is going to be published in June of 2014 and it's going to be a smash hit. Here is the synopsis (taken from goodreads): Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision. The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is-although he doesn't know it-one of the MC's programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family? Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings.

Lindsay is hosting a competition for a signed ARC on her blog which you can find here. 

And now the moment you have been waiting for:  the official Divergent movie poster!

I'm going to try and control my inner-fangirl as I write this. I absolutely LOVE the way we can see the crumbling buildings of dystopian Chicago. I also spy the Navy Pier Ferris wheel... *wink wink*.  I'm not sure why Four is on the ledge with Tris though. Maybe this is part of his fear landscape? Either way I am snatching this poster up ASAP. 

Also an 18 second teaser for the upcoming trailer was released at the recent Thor movie. Take a look here!

I'm so excited for 2014 just because of these two things! I wish I could time travel. 

The Murder Complex Cover Reveal Tomorrow!

Why the gif? Well because the cover for The Murder Complex is being released tomorrow! 

Here is a summary of what the book is about (taken from Goodreads): 

 The Murder Complex is an action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic thriller set in the futuristic Florida Everglades, where the murder rate is higher than the birth rate, and follows Meadow Woodson, a 15-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, kill, and to survive in any situation, and Zephyr James, the orphaned boy she falls in love with, whose sole purpose is to keep her from discovering the haunting truth about her family, even if it puts them both in mortal danger.

Debut author, Lindsay Cummings, is only 20 years old (not to mention absolutely beautiful) and is exceptionally talented (obviously). I, personally cannot wait to read this! PLUS you can enter a totally awesome giveaway on her blog which you can find here. Sweet prizes and a kiss from Tobias Eaton (just kidding) are being given away! 7am is when the cover is being revealed so be sure to catch it!

The One by Kiera Cass - Cover Reveal!

If you already didn't know, I am a huge fan of The Selection Trilogy by Kiera Cass. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, The Selection Trilogy is about a young woman named America Singer who is of age to partipate in a contest called The Selection. In The Selection, thirty five girls in dystopian America have the chance of winning the heart of Prince Maxon, the prince and heir to the throne. America should be thrilled to have the chance to be Maxon's wife. There is just one problem: She's already in love with someone else. The thing is, once she meets Prince Maxon she starts to re-evaluate everything she's ever known.

 

Cool right? Well if you haven't read it leave now because it is spoilers from here on out.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

The end of The Elite really made me think about what Kiera was going to do for the next book. I honestly thought the actual selection would be over by now and America would go on fighting for the castes to be gone. Obviously that didn't happen. Here's a list of what we still need to find out/ be resolved:

 

1) Why the northern and southern rebels took those books

2) The caste system

3) The love triangle (please be Maxon)

4) The problem with the King (he has to die)

5) The thing with Kriss and Celeste

 

Side note- I thought Kriss was really nice at first but then I really started to dislike her at the end of the Elite. Celeste... yeah she's still a little snot.

 

So there is enough for another book here and Kiera intends to make it work. A couple days ago, MTV released a video that premiered the official cover of The One and showed how they made it. Click Here to watch it.

 

Here is the cover for The One!

 

Of all the covers Kiera could I chose I really like this one. However, I don't really like that the dress is white. It gives the image that she will be getting married to Maxon at some point. I would have liked to a purple dress like the one she wore when she thought she would be going home. It symbols rebellion which is going to be a main problem in The One with America being a sort-of center to it while being in the castle under the king's watchful eye.

I love the hook at the top! "Only one girl can win the crown." EEP! Sounds awesome.

 

What do you think of the cover? Would you have liked to have seen a different color dress or do you like the color? What are your predictions for The One?
