Happy New Year! Let�s kick things off with some pretty covers.

Queen of Dreams by Kit Rocha. A bluish purple background with a silvery spider web. Pieces of dew are caught on the strands. In the middle is a flaming scepter of sorts.

Sarah: This is book 2 in the series that�s officially called Bound to Fire and Steel but is more colloquially known as �horny dragon book.�

Amanda: The colors are striking and the elements of fire give things an almost neon sign vibe.

Sarah: Agreed, the use of light and color makes it almost glow.

No Rings Attached by Mona Shroff. A photograph cover. A South Asian man and woman are standing close. He is wearing a v-neck white shirt. She is wearing a red and gold saree. A sheer red veil covers her hair. Her hand, which is decorated with henna and red and pearl bracelets, rests on his chest. Both figures are softly smiling.

Amanda: I love smiles! It also looks like he just told her a cute secret or paid her a quiet compliment.

Sarah: Yes! Quiet intimacy is very compelling and I imagine a challenge to capture.

Amanda: One of my favorite covers of last year!

Sarah: Reminds me of the Lana Harper covers. Gorgeous! Here for the witching.

Amanda: �Drink up, witches!�

Holly Horror by Michelle Jabes Corpora. The side profile of a skeleton wearing a bonnet. Behind it is a full pink moon. The bottom half of the figure turns into branches, revealing a dark forest on the bottom half of the cover. In the shape of the bonnet, which is a deep purple, is the image of a cabin surrounded by trees.
