Thanks for the clarification. I know they have a strong romance component (my favorite part of the series, lol) but for some reason I thought they were under the urban fantasy umbrella rather than the romance umbrella (although the line is so thin, it's difficult to tell.) I was glad to see your cover in the two-cover section. I'm a fan of the cover anyway, and it was a nice break from the sheets :-) @Jeaniene Frost: ah! Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, I'm pubbed by a romance house (Avon), my books are shelved in romance, and I consider them romance with urban fantasy elements, not urban fantasy with romance elements :). So the contest truly might be limited to romance books (though I don't know anything about Kristin's book, so maybe hers aren't shelved in romance). “It says romance novel covers, but since women’s fiction with romantic elements like Kristin Hannah’s FIREFLY LANE was a finalist this year, along with Jeaniene Frost’s AT GRAVE’S END (urban fantasy with romantic elements) it looks like it actually just has to have a romantic element to be eligible.”

But no matter - the story is spectacular, with a whole slew of edgy relationships I can't wait to find out what happens to (hows that for torturous sentence structure) when the second volume comes out. Wildly creative in change of POV from volume to volume.

I have DARKBORN to-be-read (I couldn't resist the cover & description) but I haven't read it yet. These are all just for books that I feel have really great covers for one reason or another. @Maya M.: Oh oh!

I flat out adored it, and have been trying to convince everyone I know to not only read it but create buzz. On that basis I'll have to go look at the other titles on your list....

I voted at Cover Cafe but did feel that there was something lacking in the selections. I like your tags for this blog. Cool idea.
