Cover Crush – UK Edition: Hunter Kiss series by Marjorie M. Liu
by Carolyn • Posted in Cover Crush
Orbit launched the new UK covers for the urban fantasy series, Hunter Kiss by Marjorie M. Liu yesterday. They will be published in the UK & Australia on a four month rapid release from May. I think they are absolutely gorgeous! What do you think?
The Iron Hunt, Book 1
Darkness Calls, Book 2
A Wild Night, Book 3
Here’s a bit about the the first book, The Iron Hunt, taken from the ORBIT blog:
During the day, Maxine’s tattoos are her armour and she is invincible. At night they peel from her skin to take on forms of their own, leaving her human and vulnerable – and showing themselves as demons sleeping beneath her skin. But these demons are the best friends and bodyguards a woman could have. And Maxine needs bodyguards. She is the last in a line of woman with power in their blood, trained to keep the world safe from malignant beings who would do us harm.
But ten thousand years after its creation, the prison dimension that kept the worst of these from us is failing, and all the Wardens save Maxine are dead. She must bear the burden of her bloodline and join the last wild hunt against the enemy.

Oh wow, those are gorgeous! I love "smokey" covers like that.
And the story sounds great as well!

It doesn't happen often but this time the UK covers outdone themselves of their US siblings. I'm really digging the vibe, and the sword is uber kewl.

Wow amazing covers! I love them! Too bad they're not the US covers, not that the US ones weren't great too…but these are gorgeous!

I think the blurb is fab. I haven't heard of these before. The covers definitely give off the impression of a strong female lead. Are these YA or an adult cross-over?

I love the covers. I could know nothing about it and buy them simply for that.
P.S. I'm a new follower, I enjoy what I've seen of your blog here. I'll be back (in the words of Arnold)

I really am looking forward to the third book to come out. I am trying to fill the time till it comes out with Inked, that has a short story of Maxine Kiss in it.
