So, amazing fellow Canadian and uber-talented author Lesley Livingston has a new book coming out in August - yay! For those of you who don't know, Lesley wrote the Wondrous Strange trilogy (love faeries? Then you MUST read these books), as well as Once Every Never.
She revealed the cover of her new book, Starling, on her blog a couple weeks ago, and I thought I'd share it, along with a synopsis of the book, because it's just so damn cool.
"Love is just the beginning... of the end."
Mason Starling is a champion fencer for Gosforth Academy, but she’s never had to fight for her life. Until now. When a ferocious storm rips through Manhattan and unleashes terrifying creatures onto Gosforth’s campus, Mason barely escapes alive. Without help from the mysterious stranger who appeared in the midst of the storm, she might not have made it at all. But now, in the aftermath, Mason’s life begins to spin dramatically, mystically out of control, and the only one who seems able to help her is the stranger who can remember nothing but his name: Fennrys Wolf.
As Mason and Fenn uncover more about Fenn’s past and the strange events that surround them, they realize that Mason’s family — and its dark allegiance to the ancient Norse gods — is at the center of everything. A predetermined fate seems to be closing in on Mason, but is it possible to change one’s destiny?
Readers who fell in love with Lesley Livingston’s Wondrous Strange trilogy and those who love Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series will be captivated by the sweeping romance and pulse-pounding action of Starling.

What do you think? I love the cover. The dark colours are great and it's mysterious looking and kind of creepy. I also love how the title is reflected underneath. I can't wait to read this book, it sounds great! Wondrous Strange was one of my favorite books of 2011, and I'm sure that by the time Starling comes out, I'll have read the rest of Lesley's books!
Add Starling to your GoodReads to-read list!
YEs I and Love the cover!!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is SO beautiful. Ahhh. I've already added it to my TBR. I didn't realize she wasn't a debut author. I will have to go find her other books and mark them as TBR! Thanks, Marie!
