Jordan Summers: Cover Winner
I blogged about urban fantasy covers yesterday. Both Meljean and Kerry commented on one of my favorite new urban fantasy covers. It’s for Red by Jordan Summers. This cover is amazing. Something about the way the red pops and the woman stands out…well, don’t take my word for it. Here it is:
War is brewing in a near-future world where murder is all but unheard of and the existence of creatures known as the Others has yet to be proven. In the end, one woman will face her fears to stand and fight.
Gina Santiago is a member of an elite tactical team in charge of protecting the world. She’s devoted her life to apprehending the most heinous criminals that prey on society—and now she’s after the worst one yet.
On her own, with no backup, the trail takes her to a dusty, tight-knit town on the fringes of society, where everyone’s a suspect. Even the sexy sheriff, Morgan Hunter, isn’t telling her everything.
The closer Gina comes to finding out the secret of this sleepy little town and its big, bad sheriff, the more scared she gets—because she’s beginning to realize that she has a secret, too. A secret that will change her life…and make her the killer’s next prey.
Yeah, baby.
Great cover. Great author. Dedicated blogger and one of the most eloquent on the issues facing authors. Go pre-order the book.

I said yesterday I’d buy it on the strength of the fabulous cover alone, but I really have to add that I’d buy it even if the cover was hideous. That text in the corner reads: “What if Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf turned out to be the same person?” Awesome concept. Awesome excerpt on Jordan’s site. Win all around.
And that’s how I want my hair…

That is a good cover. Like Scarlet said, the blurb is interesting and the line that Kerry posted about Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf really makes me want to get the book to find out just what that means…

Sounds like a great book! I love the cover, and will have to head over to B&N now to look into pre-ordering.

Love the cover - looks absolutely wonderful, I would buy it for that alone
The blurb has made me want the book even more though and that isn’t fair as my book fund is empty again

I love it, too! It’s definitely my all-time favorite cover from Tor and one of my faves over all.
It’s not urban fantasy though. It’s a gritty and sexy paranormal romance set in the future. The story totally deserves such a smokin’ cover. Y’all will love it.
