This is definitely my least favorite cover out of the whole series, although I am super thrilled that Lynne Ewing wrote a thirteenth book when I thought she wouldn’t.
I completely agree. It’s my favorite book in the series, but that cover is just horrible. Anyone could have put together something more professional-looking in Photoshop!
I love that she’s looking off in the distance and the way she’s holding her arms, but she doesn’t really look like how I pictured her, and I don’t like how there are three red covers, and this is my least favorite one.
I don’t know if they used the same model for the later cover, but the one on this cover looks way too old for Tianna. If it is the same girl, this is just a bad angle for her. The other Tianna cover is my fave.
She took the dress and sandals back to her room, then sat on the floor and painted her toenails and fingernails pale blue. She drew waves of eternal flames and spiral hearts in silver and blue around her ankles and up her legs with body paints.
When she was done, she pressed a Q-tip into glitter eye shadow and spread sparkles on her lid and below her eye. With a sudden impulse she swirled the lines over her temple and into her hairline. She liked the look.
She rolled blue mascara on her lashes, then brushed her hair and snapped crystals in the long blond strands. She squeezed glitter lotion into her palms and rubbed it on her shoulders and arms. Last she took out the dress and stepped into it. She turned to the mirror on the closet door. — Goddess of the Night by Lynne Ewing (via nerdyninjanicole)

NEWS! New Book from Lynne Ewing?!
According to Amazon, a new book from Lynne Ewing, titled The Lure, is expected to be released from Balzer + Bray in February 2014. Supposedly, it’ll be 288 pages in length. No summary or cover image is up yet, but I’ll be sure to update you guys whenever new info is revealed. In the meantime, I’m going to be happy-dancing, since there hasn’t been any news of Lynne Ewing publishing something new like this since 2008…
I think Jimena looks great, but I don’t like the way the purple plays on her skin.
I always thought she looked like the character, but was trying a little too hard to look tough. The scowl, the fist, the crossed arms. I would have softened the face slightly and left the arms crossed with no fist.
It’s always bothered me that that one chunk of hair covers up her neck. It frames her face in a strange way. But I like how Catty is wearing something that contrasts with the background, unlike most of the book covers, where the top the model is wearing is the same color as the lights and background.
I don’t know what he’s got against the way we eat. You put a little garlic, lemon, and salt on the grasshoppers, and they’re crunchier than any potato chip.

I hate how orange her skin looks in this cover, even though I love the pink and how her eye makeup was done. I also like the wind playing in her hair.
This was my fave Catty cover. On the other, she reminds me of Jennifer Aniston. I like how she looks tough here, despite wearing a pink lacy dress. She looks like a stronger girl than the previous cover, which is what she’s become.
What is that top made of? String and a strip of fabric? It looks so badly done. But I like that she’s looking down and she has the necklace going across her forehead. I also like that it’s kind of imitating fire with the moisture on her face and the red background.
I think she looks so pretty in this, but I wonder if it’s the same model from the first book? The angle on her face is not so flattering. Giving the extra supernatural feeling of the book, I like the green color, although it’s a little too harsh on her skin.
You got no future. No future on your face. None at all.
