Blood Roses cover reveal

We’re very excited to finally reveal the Blood Roses cover… we hope you like!  We’d love it if you could help us share the cover via Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and any other way you can think of – your help is much appreciated.

And the release date for Blood Roses?  26th April 2013…

The Blood Roses cover was designed and photographed (with three separate photoshoots!) by the uber-talented cover supremo Henry Steadman.

Want a taste of what’s to come in Blood Roses?  Here’s a short introduction…

“She was supposed to kill vampires, not save them.  Those were the rules.  That was the lore.”

A rare and powerful witch whose blood is lethal to vampires, Leila has always viewed her serryn abilities as a curse.  After seeing her mother slaughtered as a child, Leila longs for a safe, quiet life.

That wish is shattered by Caleb Dehain – a vampire with a dark past and a darker heart.  The most feared serryn hunter of his generation, Caleb now needs the help of one of the witches he despises to save his dying brother.

A serryn who has no reason to help him.  Except that he has her sister.

Caleb and Leila are each other’s worst nightmare – but the slow-burning spark of attraction between them is undeniable.  Will Leila’s blood be his damnation?  Or could her kiss be his salvation?

Thanks, Fiona! I’m counting down the weeks as much as everyone else, I think! 🙂

Fiona Chapman

Absolutely stunning cover. Very dark and compelling. Duly shared on FB and Twitter. 🙂

Lindsay J. Pryor

You’re as star – thanks so much for sharing it, Fiona. And I’m thrilled you like the cover. Dark and compelling was the aim for the book, so hopefully you’ll think so when you read it. 😉

Charlotte

How gorgeous is that! Serious cover envy ;0) xx

Lindsay J. Pryor

It’s beautiful, isn’t it, Charlotte? She is sooo Leila. Perfect. 🙂 xx

Tracey Rogers

Fabulous cover Lindsay! It’s so striking. Doing a happy bounce for you. Amazing! Only thing I would change is the date. Maybe to Feb??? Can’t wait xxx

Lindsay J. Pryor

Thanks, Tracey. And LOL – I don’t think Bookouture will quite have it ready by the weekend. You’ll give the copy-editor a heart attack suggesting that! I’ll give you lots of teasers between now and then to keep you going, I promise. xxx

Jane Hunt

Fab cover. Can’t wait for 26 April.

Lindsay J. Pryor

Thanks so much, Jane. Hopefully the 26th will be here before we know it. 😉

Hana

Fabulous!

The dark cover (srsly, a black rose? Props to Photograoher Henry!) contrasting with the white background in “Blood Shadows” = amazing.

I like very much. (And to be honest–don’t tell Kane though!–I was always looking forward to Caleb’s story. xD)

Lindsay J. Pryor

I’m so, so thrilled you like it, Hana. I know you were itching to see it, so it’s good to know it hasn’t let you down. *whispers* I won’t tell Kane, don’t worry. It’ll be very interesting to see what readers think of Caleb – he’s one very dark vamp. 😉

CC MacKenzie

Wow! Ollie, this looks fantastic. And she looks a bit like Lindsay! Spooky!
I’ll share it among my FB readers. I’m weaning them onto vampires and spreading the lurve.

I’ve been really busy with books four and five and an adventure romance. Gotta get them done before May and my appointment with a sharp pointy knife, so I’ve not been around.

Lindsay – need to get you on the blog again – I’ll email a plan. 🙂

Lindsay J. Pryor

She looks like ME??? You think so? *runs back for another look* She certainly matches the Pinterest images I chose. 🙂

Ah, you’re always busy, my lovely – you super-hard writer, you. Wow, you have a lot on before May. Don’t exhaust yourself before that appointment. Strict orders!!

Woo hoo! Another invite to your blog! It’s always such a lovely place to come visit. Will look out for your plan. Hugs. 😀

Sue Child

Yummy cover, Lindsay!

Sue – dying to read Blood Roses since New Voices 2010

Lindsay J. Pryor

Thanks, Sue! It feels a LONG time ago since New Voices 2010, doesn’t it? But at least Blood Roses will FINALLY be in your hands. 🙂

Jo Fereday

Fabulous cover, Lindsay!

Lindsay J. Pryor

Thanks so much, Jo! 🙂
