Cover reveal: Haze (and a teeny teaser about the plot)

I know the release date for 'Haze' is still a long way off (June next year), so - for those of you who have read 'Shadows' and are looking forward to the next instalment in the Rephaim series - I thought I'd use this last post to reveal the stunning cover concept for 'Haze' by the wonderful WH Chong.

This is the cover for Australia and New Zealand (it may have some minor tweaks between now and when it goes to print, but nothing major).

And here's the synopsis and a teeny teaser extract from 'Haze' (from the Text Publishing catalogue, out soon):

Extract:
'But what if we can't find Jude?'
He leans closer. His breath is warm on my ear. 'We will.'
'How can you be so sure?' I want to believe him so badly, but this is Rafa. The guy who's all action and no plan.
His smile is tired, knowing. An echo of a shared past I don't remember.
'Because I'm not smart enough to give up, and you don't know how to.'

Synopsis:
Gaby Winters' nightmares have stopped but she still can't remember her old life. Still can't quite believe she is one of the Rephaim—the wingless half-angels who can shift from place to place, country to country, in the blink of an eye. That she was once the Rephaim's best fighter. That demons exist. That Rafa has stayed.
But most of all, she can't quite believe that her twin brother, Jude, might be alive.
And Gaby can't explain the hesitancy that sidetracks the search for him, infuriates Rafa, and sends them, again, into the darkest danger.

I've had such a great time as Writer in Residence here at Inside A Dog. Thanks to Inky for having me, and huge thanks to everyone who took the time to leave comments - the discussions have been fantastic! (I'll keep an eye on the posts for a while, so feel free to leave comments even after the month ends.)

If you want to keep chatting with me about books in general, or to stay updated on my series, feel free to stop over at my blog: www.paula-weston.com from time to time.

Thanks again. Happy reading!

Thanks Megsocool and nesyblake. :) If you decide to try out the series, make sure you start with 'Shadows' ('Haze' will be a little confusing otherwise - LOTS happens in the first book), and let me know what you think if/when you do (you can find me on my blog, facebook or Twitter. Love to hear from you). I also write short reviews about the books I love on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5446913.Paula_Weston. In case you're not familiar with it, Goodreads.com is a brilliant social media site where you can keep track of what you've read and liked and find out what other people are reading and what people with similar tastes to you are loving. (Of course, Inside A Dog does that too!! There are some great reviews right here.)

I am really excited to read this book because it gives you so many ideas of what could be happening but there are so many resolutions you cant put them all together, which makes the book even more exciting. The cover looks really interesting and special, which pulls me in. Im excited to buy the book and it should be incredibly thrilling. thank you for posting about the book and hopefully I will see some more of your book reviews.

The cover is really nice, and I think I might read this series! It looks really mysterious, and I love fantasy books. I generally judge books by covers, as most people do, but this is really reeling me in. I generally don't have the patience to go through boring book covers, and read the blurb, but if there's a really good cover, then I actually pick it up because of that. Good job.

Oypoodle: Thank you. I love it too! Ambivalence: let me know what you think when get around to reading 'Shadows'. And it's been my pleasure being here for the month. :)

>.< I hate the not knowing, when I haven't read a book and people discuss them or get excited over reveals and I haven't the slightest idea of what's going on. But less than a week. Less than a week, and I should be able to start my reading/writing extravaganza, and I may just get around to reading your book (: And you've been an awesome blogger, so thanks for you amazing posts ^^
