Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion. But danger is never far behind.
Coming January 3, 2012!
She fell for him in a nighttime world. But the time for dreaming is past—and the here-and-now can be just as fragile their love…
When Theia Alderson first encountered a mysterious, handsome boy in her dreams, she never imagined how finding Haden Black—and falling in love—could change her life. To save Haden, Theia sacrificed everything. And the dangerous bargain she made could have lasting repercussions.
Now Theia has returned to Serendipity Falls, and she finds herself struggling with the same deadly hungers that have tortured Haden. When students at their high school fall prey to a mysterious illness, Theia can’t help but wonder if Haden’s control is slipping—and how much longer she’ll have a grip on her own.
And still the nightmare realm of Under won’t let them go. Someone from Haden’s past is determined to destroy Theia from the inside out, starting with those closest to her, forcing Theia to choose between family and friends and a love that may have been doomed from the start…
I think this cover is really beautiful. The rose petals she's laying on, her elaborately curled hair and that gorgeous, gorgeous dress all evoke the romance of the story, while the black rose in her hand, and the contrast of the black on her dress with the red of the rose petals gives it a kind of Gothic feel. It's also a nice inversion of the first book's cover -- which had black roses and a red dress. I'm not crazy about the title though -- it just doesn't quite have that ring to it, you know?
What do you think? Does this make you want to read the series? Have you read
Falling Under? I need to! I've heard it's really good.
Here's the
Falling Under cover for comparison:

Everything Aoife thought she knew about the world was a lie. There is no Necrovirus. And Aoife isn't going to succomb to madness because of a latent strain—she will lose her faculties because she is allergic to iron. Aoife isn't human. She is a changeling—half human and half from the land of Thorn. And time is running out for her.
When Aoife destroyed the Lovecraft engine she released the monsters from the Thorn Lands into the Iron Lands and now she must find a way to seal the gates and reverse the destruction she's ravaged on the world that's about to poison her.
I LOVE this cover. It's so dark and haunting and striking -- just like the first book's. I also really like that Aoife looks older on this cover, and more in control. You can tell time has passed and she's come a long way. She actually looks like someone I know, which is a little bizarre haha. I've been intrigued by this series since I first heard about
The Iron Thorn -- it's sitting on my bookshelf; I need to read it soon!
What do you think of the new cover? Here's the first book for comparison:

INSURGENT!
I personally love it. It fits well with the first title, and I can totally see Tris leading a rebel army.
Have you read Divergent? What do you think of the sequel title?

Evolution? What does it mean? Is she doing to evolve into some alien with green eyes and two chins? Haha I can't wait to read the second book and see how everything evolves! :)
LOVE THIS.
Hm.... Not sure about the title of the second book but I'll have to read the first novel to see if it fits :)

Hmm... To be honest, I would have thought the title would be more eye catching. More original. The first one was awesome, this one feels a little anti-climactic...
