‘Cover Crush’ is a regular feature here at BCC. I love covers – they’re the first thing that catches my eye and will be the primary reason I pick up a book. This feature is where I highlight gorgeous covers of books I’ve seen either around the blogosphere or at the bookshop. These posts run sporadically, as soon as I see a cover I love, I post it!

I saw this gorgeous cover for Nightfall, the first book in a new urban fantasy series by Ellen Connor (a collaboration between Ann Aguirre and Carrie Lofty), on the author’s website and I absolutely love it! I’m not usually one for muscle bound men on the front cover of my books, but for some reason I really like this one – probably because both look super cool, super hot, and with those guns, totally kick-arse! I must say I can’t wait to read this one!

Summary

Their instincts will save them.

Their passion will transform them.

Growing up with an unstable, often absent father who preached about the end of the world, Jenna never thought, in her wildest nightmares, that his predictions would come true. Or that he would have a plan in place to save her–one that includes the strong, stoic man who kidnaps and takes her to a remote cabin in the Pacific Northwest.

The mysterious ex-Marine named Mason owes a life-debt to Jenna’s father. Skilled and steadfast, he’s ready for the Change, but Jenna proves tough to convince. Until the power grid collapses and the mutant dogs attack–vicious things that reek of nature gone wrong.

When five strangers appear, desperate to escape the bloodthirsty packs, Jenna defies her protector and rescues them. As technology fails and the old world falls away, Jenna changes too, forever altered by supernatural forces. To fight for their future, she and Mason must learn to trust their instinctive passion–a flame that will see them through the bitter winter, the endless nights, and the violence of a new Dark Age.

Like you I don't really like muscle bound men on the front of my books and in fact if that's the case will only buy them in ebook format. But I too quite like this one. The story looks fab – it's going straight on my wishlist :D
