Shelf Candy Saturday #2

Shelf Candy Saturday is a weekly meme hosted by Five Alarm Book Reviews where we pick a book cover we like and explain why we picked it.


My shelf candy for this week is:
Soul Born by Kevin James Breaux

Why I Picked It:
I think this cover is absolutely beautiful. What's not to love about it? I like how the bright purple glow highlights the dark purple of the cover. I also love the color of the hair on the girl on the cover. This book is in my review pile, and based on the cover, I can't wait to read it. 

What do you think of the cover? What's your shelf candy for this week? Leave me a comment and let me know.

  1. I like the amount of detail in this cover! The little mark on her collarbone, the tattoo/mark on her collar bone, the gash on her cheek bone, the earrings...it makes the girl seem more real instead of just a drawn on character. Kind of makes you wonder how she got all cut up! I am not a huge fan of that typeface though for the title.

    I chose Callum & Harper as my shelf candy this week! Feel free to check it out and I am also a new follower! :D

    2. I'm glad you like the cover. Everyone says the zombie button scares them. If you click it, it leads to a giveaway on another blogger's blog. I've never read Callum & Harper, but I must admit, I'm not a big fan of the cover. Thank you for following me. I am now following you as well.

  7. Thanks all! Dan Dos Santos painted the cover. You might know him for his work with Patrica Briggs books. I designed the layout. So I picked the font, and layed out the words...etc. Have you seen the sequel? Its call Blood Divided and the cover glows too. I have a large copy of the cover on canvas in my office... its beautiful. You can see it at my site. www.kevinbreaux.com. I will be giving away some more copies of Soul Born soon, so keep an watch. And yes, Opal is a kick-ass hero. And... Opal has killed for what she believes are all the right reasons...
