Cover Story: Amanda Hocking's Trylle Series!!

Today USA today revealed the awesome new look for Amanda Hocking's Trylle series. Now I haven't personally read these but I hear amazing things about Amanda's work all the time. And the new series makeover?? Well, I think St. Martin's Griffin knocked this one out the ballpark. I am in love with the look of these! This one is sure to be on everyone's radar soon, if they didn't know about it already. After all, even when the series was only available in e-book format, it sold over a million copies!! Congrats to Amanda Hocking for a great book deal and some seriously gorgeous new covers!

description:
Four girls. One dead body. A whole lot of guilt.

Alice King isn’t expecting the holiday of a lifetime when she sets off with her classmates on a trip to the Scottish wilderness, but she’s not exactly prepared for an experience beyond her darkest nightmares…

Alice and her best friend Cass are stuck in a cabin with Polly, the social outcast, and Rae, the moody emo-girl. Then there’s Tara – queen of mean. Powerful, beautiful and cruel, she likes nothing better than putting people down.

Cass decides it’s time to teach Tara a lesson she’ll never forget. And so begins a series of events that will change the lives of these girls forever...

A compelling story of guilty secrets, troubled friendship and burgeoning love.

My thoughts: I was so incredibly impress with Cat Clarke's debut, Entangled (see my review here). I can't wait to read more of her work! This looks like another intensely emotional read---not to mention another awesome cover.
