Cover Crush – UK Edition: Bullet by Laurell K. Hamilton
by Carolyn • Posted in Cover Crush
During the brilliant Headline party, we were shown a presentation of upcoming books and BULLET was among them. It was my first glimpse of the gorgeous new cover and now I can show it to you! I love it. I must say I think all the UK covers for the newly published Anita Blake series by Headline are much better than the US editions. I still have to re-read the first ten books of the series and complete the rest (for my Anita Blake Reading Challenge) before getting my hands on this one. So, what do you think?

Bullet (Anita Blake #19)
Laurell K. Hamilton
Headline
June 2010
Summary
The triumvirate created by master vampire Jean-Claude, necromancer Anita Blake, and werewolf Richard Zeeman has made Jean-Claude one of the most powerful vampires in the U.S. He’s consolidating power in himself and those loyal to him, doing in America what Belle Morte did in Europe when she was at her height of power. She almost owned Europe, and there was those who are determined that Jean-Claude won’t do the same in America. Jean-Claude’s motives may be kinder, but as any lawyer will tell you: motives matter, but you’re just as dead.
Assassins are coming to St. Louis to kill them all. Anita knows they’re coming, but even being forewarned doesn’t mean you can win.

Headline have also launched a fantastic UK Anita Blake Website, which is well worth a visit (also better than the US one, easier to navigate).
They are also sponsoring The Anita Blake Challenge hosted here at BCC. They are giving away the entire Anita Blake series to one lucky participant of the challenge – sadly this contest is open to UK residents only – but obviously anyone can join the challenge!

Pretty cool cover! I don't really mind any of the covers that I have seen but what I don't like is that they keep changing. I like my book spines to match on a bookshelf and with the ever changing covers it kinda ticks me off lol. I have high hopes for Bullet and I really hope that they bring back more of the elements of the early part of the series that I loved so much.

Makes me interested in picking up the book. The artist that did the cover art is amazing. The irony is that the artist lives in the U.S.
