True Blood meets Supernatural in the kickoff of this urban paranormal fantasy series from an acclaimed author. Readers enter a dystopian San Francisco filled with empaths and vampires embroiled in political unrest — and Book 1 is just the beginning.
Much as she wishes otherwise, superstar political consultant Olivia Shepherd was born a powerful empath. It’s a legacy she walked away from long ago — but when she wakes up one morning to find Elsa, a tenacious time-walker, standing in her kitchen, she realizes she can no longer ignore her gifts. She is quickly plunged into the hidden world of powerful “Others” and drafted to work for the Council, a shadowy organization that summons the fog to San Francisco to obscure their involvement in human affairs.
Complicating matters further is Olivia’s new love interest, William. A centuries-old vampire, William is far too jaded to take an interest in human affairs — but Olivia no longer has the luxury of remaining impartial. As shocking details from Olivia’s own past emerge and her role in the Council begins to take shape, will she rise to the challenge of her destiny?
Do! Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature on Pop! Goes The Reader in which I pay tribute to some of the best and brightest the publishing world has to offer in the way of book cover design.
With a recent plethora of cover reveals and new book announcements, I can’t be the only one who has begun to get excited about publishing in 2025 and beyond! With that in mind, I couldn’t resist creating a new edition of Do! Judge A Book By Its Cover that focused on some of the beautiful 2025 fantasy YA covers that have been revealed thus far. I tried my best to include covers from a variety of different fantasy sub-genres including contemporary fantasy, high fantasy, historical fantasy and more, any one of which would make a stunning addition to your shelves next year!
