Today I get to share some pretty new covers with all you lovely people! I figured it was high time for something a little different around here and when Amber asked if I'd be interested, I said 'absolutely'. :D
So! Before we get to the covers themselves, I figured I should mention that I haven't read two of these books yet, but I did read Songstone back a few years ago. I just have to say that I definitely like this new cover much better than the old one. And now I'm intrigued enough to want to try Haunting Joy: Book 1 and Haunting Joy: Book 2. The covers for those two are pretty eye-catching! Let's see what you think...
All three together are pretty striking, right?? :) I do love those crisp colors...
About the books
In celebration of Lena Goldfinch’s upcoming release, HAUNTING JOY: BOOK 2, she’s revealing three brand-new book covers! The two HAUNTING JOY books are light paranormal stories, and SONGSTONE is a fantasy romance. All three books are sweet—and slightly spine-tingling—young adult reads, perfect for cozy autumn nights!
HAUNTING JOY: BOOK 1
“A sweet and charming ghost story that completely won me over.”
—Lena Coakley, Witchlanders
Joy’s new dress has a secret—one with a little supernatural history, one that’s a little more than she expected.
It all starts one ordinary afternoon, when seventeen-year-old Joy tries on some thrift-store clothes. The little white dress fits perfectly. Trouble is, now it won’t leave her alone. Soon Joy is swept up in an extraordinary journey to help a ghost complete some unfinished business.
If only that didn’t involve Joy driving through dangerous intersections...
Or calling up her high-school crush, Nick...
Or getting stuck in a cemetery after dark.
Just how much is Joy willing to risk to uncover the truth?

SONGSTONE
“An original fantasy world inhabited by superstitious tribal nations and intriguingly developed characters.”
—Serena Chase, USA Today’s Happy Ever After blog
A dark, twisty tale of sorcery, tummy-tingling romance, and adventure, inspired by the folklore of New Zealand's Māori people.

Kita can meld song into stone—a skill called “storytelling,” which is greatly honored in a world with no written word. But Kita is slave to a sorcerer who practices black magic using drops of her blood. She fears he’ll use her beautiful gift for a killing spell, so she conceals it. Yet each day, his magic tightens around her neck like a rope.
Then Pono, a young journeyman, arrives from the other side of the island. He’s come to fulfill a pact between their villages: to escort a storyteller back to his village. Finally, in Pono, Kita sees her one slim chance at freedom—and she’ll risk her life to take it.
