So I was scrolling through Epic Reads's cover reveals last week and then I saw THIS. Consider me SOLD. Also, are westerns a new trend in YA, because I can dig it.

The two-bit town of Rogue City is a lawless place, full of dark magic and saloon brawls, monsters and six-shooters. But it’s perfect for seventeen-year-old Westie, the notorious adopted daughter of local inventor Nigel Butler.
Westie was only a child when she lost her arm and her family to cannibals on the wagon trail. Nine years later, Westie may seem fearsome with her foul-mouthed tough exterior and the powerful mechanical arm built for her by Nigel, but the memory of her past still haunts her. She’s determined to make the killers pay for their crimes—and there’s nothing to stop her except her own reckless ways.
But Westie’s search ceases when a wealthy family comes to town looking to invest in Nigel’s latest invention, a machine that can harvest magic from gold—which Rogue City desperately needs as the magic wards that surround the city start to fail. There’s only one problem: the investors look exactly like the family who murdered Westie’s kin. With the help of Nigel’s handsome but scarred young assistant, Alistair, Westie sets out to prove their guilt. But if she’s not careful, her desire for revenge could cost her the family she has now.
This thrilling novel is a remarkable tale of danger and discovery, from debut author Michelle Modesto.

Okay, first of all, I'm a new follower, and your blog is so cute! Seriously love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is one I'm waiting on too! Can't wait to check it out :)
I love the idea of a western fantasy (although this cover doesn't really say "western" to me!), and I just saw this cover reveal as well. Awesome choice!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW.
YESSSSSS. When I saw this cover I basically had to lay down to recover for a few minutes. (I'm kidding, I swear.) But it is GORGEOUS. SO GORGEOUS. As if the font wasn't amazing enough, you've got the awesome burning and peeling going on. I LOVE IT.
