Cover Reveal: Imitation

Imitation

by Heather Hildenbrand

to be published March 12

Everyone is exactly like me.
There is no one like me.
The rough fabric of my cotton nightgown chafes so I lie very still. They say my discomfort comes from being built like one accustomed to niceties. How is that fair when I myself have never experienced anything but copies of the real thing?
My entire life is an imitation.
I am an Imitation.
I’ve been here five years. Training. Preparing. Waiting.
And now I have a letter.
My assignment has begun.
I am a prisoner.
I am not Raven Rogen.
I am here to die.

Another white cover! I am loving this one, the green definitely pops on it and it is definitely dramatic. What do you think?

Blood Bond Cover Reveal

Blood Bond (Dirty Blood #3)

Hybrids.

If I had to choose one word to sum up all of my problems, this would be it.

Without hybrids, I wouldn’t have to watch my best friend slowly becoming a monster. Without hybrids, I could let go of the mentality “hunt or be hunted.” CHAS wouldn’t be scouring the Earth, intent on slaughtering and using Alex to do it. Without hybrids, I wouldn’t have to be on guard that losing my temper meant losing my shape. There would be no monster inside me, struggling to get out.

Then again, without hybrids, I wouldn’t have Wesley St. John.

Look for Blood Bond, book 3 in the Dirty Blood series, by Heather Hildenbrand, August 31st!

I love the girl's eyes on these covers! They are hauntingly beautiful. I've read the first book in this series, Dirty Blood, and absolutely loved it! I recently acquired the second book, Cold Blood and I can't wait to read it in preparation for Blood Bond. What do you think of the cover for the new book?

SYNOPSIS I killed a girl last night. I did it with my bare hands and an old piece of pipe I found lying next to the dumpster. But that’s not the part that got me. The part that scared me, the part I can’t seem to wrap my head around and still has me reeling, was that when she charged me, her body shifted – and then she was a wolf. All snapping teeth and extended claws. But by the time I stood over her lifeless body, she was a girl again. That’s about the time I went into shock… And that was the moment he showed up.

Now, all I can do is accept the truths that are staring me in the face. One, Werewolves do exist. And Two, I was born to kill them.

Dirty Blood is a fun, captivating ride that will leave you swooning into the night.  There were parts of this novel where I questioned the actions of some of the characters. For instance, Tara getting into a car with a complete stranger who just showed up in her bedroom and going God knows where, but in the end all of that was forgivable because the story was THAT damn good! 

Tara was a great MC, she was sassy, intelligent, and tried her hardest to be as independent as possible.  She was also quite resourceful, up until reading this I had never thought of using a plunger as a weapon and I thank Heather for bringing that option to my attention. Wes was the perfectly sexy, rough, and tough guy and the scenes between him and Tara had me begging for everything to go just a little farther (did I get my wish? You'll have to read it and see!) The supporting characters in Dirty Blood are also well developed and I liked every single one.  Jack and Fee were so sweet, and their strong, assured stance in their position of power had even me looking up to them.  

This novel really prospers in the werewolf/hunter lore that it creates.  It gives them a fresh new history that has not been seen anywhere before. The tales are rich and engaging.  I often find myself bored with back story, but this kept me wanting to learn more as it was totally new and interesting.  There are also a few twists and turns along the way that made reading it that much more fun.

I highly recommend giving Dirty Blood a go, it's a strong start to a promising series.
