Phoenix (Black City #2)by Elizabeth Richards
to be published June 2013 by G.P. Putnam's Sons
The much anticipated second book in the enthralling Black City seriesI think this cover is GORGEOUS! I do have a weird obsession with fire but I also love the silhouette of the city in the background. So what do you think of the cover for Phoenix? Was it worth the wait?
Engaged to be married, Ash and Natalie are just starting to build a life together, when things in the United Sentry States go from bad to worse. Ash and Natalie find themselves at the center of the turmoil when dictator Purian Rose threatens Natalie’s life unless Ash votes in favor of Rose’s law—a law that will send Darklings and other dissenters to a deadly concentration camp known as the Tenth.
Ash can’t bring himself to trade Natalie’s life for those of millions of Darklings. The only way to save everyone is to escape Black City and find the Ora, a powerful weapon that could take down Purian Rose for good. But fleeing the city and finding this weapon is easier said than done, if it even exists, and becomes a quest that could tear Ash and Natalie apart, even pushing them into the arms of others.
The Black City series so far...

I like it, but don't *love* it. I really like the aspect of fire and how it relates to the book's title, but the title of the book looks weird to me, and it unfortunately keeps me from loving it.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love the cover of Phoenix! It's wicked! I haven't managed to get an ARC of Black City yet but I can't wait to read it! It seems so good and interesting!! Thanks for the wonderful cover reveal and giveaway, Jenni!! <3

ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous cover! But I don't think it's as pretty as Black City ... I wish the colours matched a bit more. Still, very, very pretty!

ReplyDeleteIt's a striking cover. Catches the eye and will look fantastic on the shelf face out! It definitely makes me want to pick it up and read it. =)
ReplyDeleteI like the cover. I also appreciate that they don't have a girl in a fancy dress on the cover.
