So I got permission from Jo Fletcher to share this with everyone. Yay! Hell Fire will be in a similar style, only red and black. I think it’s dark and sexy, and I really dig it.
This isn’t the final version. I’ll get that soon and I’ll add it to my Blue Diablo page.
What do you guys think? I’m interested to see how the dark, sexy, tattooed cover does in the UK. I’m taking predictions! And hey, why don’t I give away a copy? It’s on sale at Book Depository anyway. Make your predictions here about how this cover will move books and you could win Blue D.

WOW! I like it! It’s darker and more mysterious. I believe this will bring you some new readers!

Very sexy!
November 9th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Very, very nicely done.
November 9th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
I like it. I think it will do very well there — it’s the current hot style!
Congrats!

Gorgeous! I love the font and the tattoo on Corine’s arm, but I kinda wish her hair had some more red to it. Overall, though, it works for me! Best wishes on its UK release.
Please don’t enter me. I already have BD, read it, loved it.

Well I’m from the UK and I LOVE it – as soon as it’s released I am buying *unless I win it of course*
November 9th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Uh oh, I’m feeling like a bad reader/very frogetful person! Did Corine have a dragon tattoo?
I dig this cover, very atmospheric and the colors are pretty.

*forgetful!

No. It’s the style. Mercy (from Patricia Briggs) isn’t inked like that either.

I like the dark tones and the dragon tattoo. I think it’ll sell well!

Great Cover, Ann, though I wish I could see more of her face…still, it is dark, mysterious and sexy looking and I imagine it will sell like hotcakes in the UK!

It looks fabulous! I love the tattoo and the arrangement of the text with the blue in the background is great! Love it!
I’ll cross my fingers for your UK release!

My mother would say it fit the book better than the original. Blue Diablo scared the hell out of her. :-D

I’m loving this cover. It’s got a whole different vibe from the US cover IMO. I like both a lot though. I think it will do well, it seems like the covers are darker across the pond. :)

It’s a hot cover but not what I think Corinne should look like.
November 9th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
I just asked my British hubby what he thought. He says SEXY! HOT. :)

I think this book and cover will rock in the UK! :)
November 10th, 2009 at 12:34 am
That’s a high level of awesome.
November 10th, 2009 at 6:06 am
I love it, I think it’ll do great!
November 10th, 2009 at 9:13 am
Great cover..mystical fell.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Love the cover. I think it will definitely get readers to pick up the book.
November 10th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
That’s absolutely stunning! I would buy it for the cover alone, though I know the story would be worth the money, too. *returns to staring at cover*
November 11th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Gorgeous! I love it.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
This is a very gorgeous cover and will definitely attract new readers. The tattoo is very striking, too. Hope it does well here in the UK!
November 13th, 2009 at 12:06 am
It looks like it’ll go over well. I like it at any rate.
November 13th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I think this will do BRILLIANTLY! I really like the cover. Normally I prefer US covers to our own versions, but I gotta say the Brits did well here. Go us! ;P
