Cover Reveal: Taken and Altered Souls by Karice Bolton

Hello, readers!

I have yet another cover reveal for you, and the covers are gorgeous! Yes, that's "covers"--plural! I have TWO covers to share with you, and BOTH are from Karice Bolton!

Before I talk about the books and their covers, I'm going to tell you about the person beyond the covers, the one who wrote the words that made the covers come to life: Karice Bolton.

Karice Bolton is a paranormal romance/urban fantasy author living in the Pacific Northwest. All three books in The Watchers Trilogy are available now, Awakening, Legions, and Cataclysm. Lonely Souls, which is the first book in her new series Witch Avenue, was released in June 2012!

Karice married the love of her life who she met in high school, and she still can't get over how cute and funny he is. They have two English Bulldogs that are the cutest bullies in the world, and they use their cuteness to get what they want. Karice loves the snow and gravitates towards the stuff as often as possible! She enjoys skiing and tries really hard to snowboard, but often makes a nice little area to sit while everyone zips by on their board. She enjoys writing, and she also loves to read just about anything with print.

She gets brownie points for living in the Pacific Northwest, the place of awesomeness.

Now, it's time for what you've been waiting for, what your eyes desire: the covers, designed by PhatPuppy Art.

First up is the cover for Taken, which is a prequel for The Watchers Trilogy.

A Watchers Novella

Ana and Athen are enjoying the quiet life as a couple with only the minor dark demon infraction to rectify. Cyril and Arie are enjoying the newfound simplicity too. Things are perfect – too perfect.

They soon realize that something far more sinister is taking place in their world, and they must do their best to stop the evil from spreading. Determined to figure out who is tampering with the mortals’ fate they are unable to recognize that it’s a trap, and one of their own is the target.

This is where it all begins.

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is this cover. The imagery is stunning, from the smoke lingering in the background to the focus of the angel crouched on a stone, entwined by a vine, awaiting her fate.

Taken is expected to be published in December 2012. A Watchers novella, it accompanies Awakening, Legions, and Cataclysm.

Next up is the equally breathtaking cover for Altered Souls, the second book in The Witch Avenue series.

The realm of Altered Souls brings nothing but unrest, deceit, and pain forcing Triss to come face to face with heartbreak from her past. 

Facing a betrayal like never before, Triss questions everything she thought she knew about her family, coven, and abilities. 

With the help of Logan, she embarks on a journey enabling her to confront the dark side of magic and the person who controls it. Realizing Triss’s ancestors have been seduced for centuries by the dark side, Triss and Logan must ensure no more in their world fall victim to the realm of Altered Souls, even if that means ending the ones they love.   

Again, look at how eye-catching the cover is! I love the feel of it, and the eeriness of the castle in the background, shrouded in gray.

Altered Souls follows Lonely Souls and is expected to be released in October 2012.

There you have it--the stunning, gorgeous, visually breathtaking covers for Karice Bolton's upcoming novels, Taken and Altered Souls.

Keep a look out for these books' release dates: you'll want to devour the words after eating up the images.
