Cover Crush – US Edition: Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong
by Carolyn • Posted in Cover Crush
I found this AMAZING cover over at One Book Away from Heaven and I think it’s just gorgeous! The US publisher (Bantam Spectra) changed the cover for Waking the Witch, the 11th book in the Otherworld series, due for release this August. And I think it’s a change for the better – what do you think? (previous cover)

Summary
The orphaned daughter of a sorcerer and a half-demon, Savannah is a terrifyingly powerful young witch who has never been able to resist the chance to throw her magical weight around. But at 21 she knows she needs to grow up and prove to her guardians, Paige and Lucas, that she can be a responsible member of their supernatural detective agency. So she jumps at the chance to fly solo, investigating the mysterious deaths of three young women in a nearby factory town as a favour to one of the agency’s associates. At first glance, the murders look garden-variety human, but on closer inspection signs point to otherworldly stakes.
Soon Savannah is in over her head. She’s run off the road and nearly killed, haunted by a mystery stalker, and freaked out when the brother of one of the dead women is murdered when he tries to investigate the crime. To complicate things, something weird is happening to her powers. Pitted against shamans, demons, a voodoo-inflected cult and garden-variety goons, Savannah has to fight to ensure her first case isn’t her last. And she also has to ask for help, perhaps the hardest lesson she’s ever had to learn.

It looks so great!
Here (Canada) we have the black covers with simple subject (like a pair of legs, or just a face on a black background). They're pretty too, but I always prefer detailed covers like this one!

It definitely is a change for the better. Then again, I love everything by Kelley Armstrong anyway…
. Though I'm not too fond of the black covers that have just been issued out here in Canada. I'd much rather continue my collection with these beautiful covers.
