Sarah Beth Durst gets all my cover feels for life.

I almost added these to the slew of cover reveals I posted the other day, but Sarah Beth Durst's covers are a thing unto themselves, and they deserved their own post.
I mean, you already know how I feel about the covers for Drink, Slay, Love,  and Vessel and the fact that I want to have their beautiful cover babies. (And of course, my love for the covers is exceeded by the books themselves!)




Later this year, Sarah has not one but two books coming out, and of course, both sound fantastic. And because Sarah gets all the cover-wins, the covers for both, of course, are awesome.

First up is...
CONJURED

304 pages
Expected publication: September 3rd 2013 by Walker
Eve has a new home, a new face, and a new name—but no memories of her past. She’s been told that she's in a witness protection program. That she escaped a dangerous magic-wielding serial killer who still hunts her. The only thing she knows for sure is that there is something horrifying in her memories the people hiding her want to access—and there is nothing they won’t say—or do—to her to get her to remember.

At night she dreams of a tattered carnival tent and buttons being sewn into her skin. But during the day, she shelves books at the local library, trying to not let anyone know that she can do things—things like change the color of her eyes or walk through walls. When she does use her strange powers, she blacks out and is drawn into terrifying visions, returning to find that days or weeks have passed—and she’s lost all short-term memories. Eve must find out who and what she really is before the killer finds her—but the truth may be more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined.

...which I would buy on cover appeal alone, no hesitation. BUT THEN IT'S ABOUT A CARNIVAL AND I ALMOST EXPLODED WITH NEEEEEEEEEED.

And shortly after Conjured is released, comes...



THE LOST

Lost your way? Your dreams?

Yourself?

Welcome to Lost.

It was supposed to be a small escape. A few hours driving before turning around and heading home. But once you arrive in Lost...well, it's a place you really can't leave. Not until you're Found. Only the Missing Man can send you home. And he took one look at Lauren Chase and disappeared.

So Lauren is now trapped in the town where all lost things go-luggage, keys, dreams, lives-where nothing is permanent, where the locals go feral and where the only people who don't want to kill her are a handsome wild man called the Finder and a knife-wielding six-year-old girl. The only road out of town is engulfed by an impassable dust storm, and escape is impossible....

Until Lauren decides nothing-and no one-is going to keep her here anymore.


...and I mean, come on! Seriously? No one can inspire grabby hands in me quite the way Sarah can.
Who else has this high on their NEED IT NAO list?

  1. I was so hoping one or both of these would be at BEA! I did get a postcard and bookmark from THE LOST at the Harlequin Teen signing, though. Whoot!

  2. The cover of Lost looks like Rush but I love it anyways. All of Sarah`s covers are amazing. Added both to my Wishlist on Amazon.

    Lost reminds me of a scene from the movie Halloween Town where the main charter goes to find a spell book and the guys house is where lost socks and items go.

  3. Ah!! I'm so pumped for both her upcoming books as well. I've only read Vessel thus far, but it was one of my absolute favorite reads last year. And her covers ROCK. They're all so different (as are her books), and I love that.
