The fourth book has even less emphasis on the romance, and more on the culmination of the story arch with Oren and Malick. A lot of things are wrapped up. I went for purpley-blue to give it the edge of feminine. The bulk of the heavy action takes place underground, which doesn’t lend itself to a silhouette, but there are some defining scenes at a country house, so I went for that. I could also claim that the lonely scene emphasizes that, as a human among vampires, Katelina is alone among the monsters.

/ March 1, 2013I love the look of these new covers and the use of your fonts. I also love the reason why you pick the images you do. I don’t blame Katelina for feeling the way she does. It’d be hard to be the only human, and yet that is what makes the series so entertaining for me (as a reader).
