Scoop!
Some of you may have been surprised to see the Bloodrose cover appear on some blogs lately. I was surprised, too! So was Penguin!
The cover wasn't supposed to be revealed until July but through a computer glitch it was sent early to Amazon, so of course Amazon put it up. And I am seriously impressed by how quickly Nightshade fans found the cover! You guys are so on top of stuff!! It's fabulous!
This wasn't anyone's fault and I'm not upset - maybe a little disappointed as revealing a cover is super fun. Now it's a little like finding out a surprise party is being thrown for you. It's wonderful that the party is happening and so many people went to the trouble to plan it, but now the surprise is spoiled.
Surprise or no, the Bloodrose cover is stupendous and I'm thrilled that I can now officially post it here!
The cover depicts a very specific scene in the book and I love the way the photo captures that moment!
In addition to the cover reveal, I have some AMAZING news. Since the Nightshade series' covers have been redesigned Penguin knows that many of you would like to have a matching set for the series. So they've printed a limited number of the new Nightshade jackets that you can put on your hardcover and all your books will match!
The jackets are being mailed out on a first come, first served basis. Send your request, including your mailing address to yrmarketing@us.penguingroup.com
I'm sorry to international readers but this is a US only offer since it regards the US cover redesign
Please note: the jackets are being shipped by Penguin, so don't email your request to me as it won't get to the right people.

I love it! I'm dying for the books though :)
I'm excited for getting the new nightshade cover XD, also i love the cover for bloodrose, it looks amazing.
Wow, I'm so jealous. Think I can get a willing US buddy to grab me one? ;)
Just curious, why did they change the covers?Saundra
Just a decision by the folks at Penguin trying to convey more of the tone/content of the book
Thanks so much for responding, just picked up Nightshade and the cover with the Calla lillies I do love. Very excited to read your book, I have heard nothing but GREAT things about it.
Eeeep! I'm so excited to get a cover for my hardcover. I liked the other cover better before I read the book, but now I LOVE the new cover. yay!
I'm sad about the switch of covers, the original Nightsade was SO pretty and unique and now I can't have a matching series :(. The new cover are alright though, but not as good!
Hayley - You CAN have a matching series Penguin is offering a limited number of (free) new Nightshade jackets for your hardcover. If you'd like one send an email to yrmarketing@us.penguingroup.comAll best,
Andrea
ya thanks I saw that, but I live in Canada :( I'll cope! :)
Thanks, Haley! Sorry that it isn't an international offer :(
First off, I want to say, that I L.O.V.E Nightshade. It is well written, and I love the cover.BUT (there is always a but), i Hate the new covers (she looks like a slut - sorry!). Seriously, they have none of the magic that the original covers had, and I am so sorry that they changed them.
I think you should look at the German cover for Wolfsbane - it is just as magical as the cover for Nightshade. My only regret is that i don´t read German. =)
Calla is no slut, she's a werewolf, she's hot. hmm... i think its gorgeous, and not slutty at all... I do have to say I like the original covers as well, but as far as I am concerned, whats inside is what really matters....
Thanks,Elizabeth, that means a lot to me.

OMG!!! I just came home from a week in France along with one of my twin sisters's wedding day and then I read THIS!!!
I LOVE it and can't wait for it!!!
Matching covers is a nice idea. I thought the first cover was gorgeous, though. One of the reasons I picked it up in the first place and read the inside.
Has anyone gotten their new cover? I sent an e-mail to Penguin but I never got a confirmation back nor did I get my new cover....
I emailed them as well, they didn't respond and I haven't gotten a cover yet either.
Alright good to know I'm not the only one
yeah, if you get a response, let me know!! :)
Is there any possible way that Canadians could get these covers too? Because we have the same covers as the US does, and I'd really like to have all my books matching too... :(
Elizabetha wrote: "yeah, if you get a response, let me know!! :)"Yeah will do for sure! I was just paranoid I was the only one and for some reason they weren't getting my e-mails y'know?
It's unfortunate that the new covers are only available to those in the US. International people get a lot of books from the US. I emailed them regarding this (as I also have friends in the US I could get it sent to, and forwarded on), but that was over 2 weeks ago and I got no reply.Considering they have not brought out the hardcovers with this new jacket, I wonder if this will hinder the sales for Wolfsbane, as many people only buy matching books.
Did anyone else hear back from them??
I just got the *new* cover for Nightshade from UPS!! YAY!! thank you Penguin!! and Andrea, of course!!
