Book Synopsis

The end is near.... Will Megan Barnett go falling back into the arms of dreamy earth angel, Guy Matson?  Or is she, in fact, falling love with the demon, Orthon?  Or, will her out-of-control abilities send her falling into Satan's open arms?

In the final, heart-stopping chapter of the Falling Angels Saga, Megan Barnett is on a quest to rid her life of Satan forever, but Satan has other plans, including a lavish wedding, and he's willing to destroy her family and everyone she loves to have his way.  To add to the drama, rogue demons have risen from hell with plans of their own.

Will Megan finally have her happily-ever-after, or is she doomed to an eternity in HELL?

Why do I love this cover?

This cover is obviously inspired by the famous one for Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer.  After that novel became a worldwide hit, several covers were produced  with the image of hands (usually female) holding something out to the viewer.  In this case, it's a beautiful, dark red rose. 

 

Twilight

Stephenie Meyer

Although this imagery may have been a little overused by now, I still love the cover of Dark Road to Darjeeling (needless to say, I've loved the one  for Twilight for a long time now), because of the bold shapes, that contrast with the delicacy of some details, and the soft colors that contrast with the dark red of the rose.  

The pastel orange of the dress worn by the cover model is especially beautiful, with those folds that shade into a darker tone.  

The white gloves are simply exquisite!  I love the little buttons on the wrists, as well as the small, wrinkled folds that travel up the arms.

The light gray jacket (that's what it seems to be) that covers the dress is also quite beautiful.  Its color nicely complements those of the gloves, rose, and dress.

I also like the font used for the title.  I think it has a little of the flavor of India.  My only complaint regarding it is that I wish it were bigger.  (The author's name should be a little smaller, in my opinion.)

In short, this is a gorgeous cover, one that captures the eye right away.  It's soft, feminine, and yet, the large shapes ensure that it also makes a bold visual statement.  Further contributing to the old-fashioned charm of this image is the fact that the edges of the cover are dark.  This reminds me of a type of 19th-century photograph called a daguerreotype.  I think this renders the image even more beautiful, and even adds poignancy to it.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to get any information about the photographer who took this gorgeous picture.  The book's credits page does not mention this person at all, which is rather sad....Had it not been for that cover, I don't think I would have ever noticed this book at all, since I don't normally read mysteries.  I might very well start with this book, though, just because of that luscious cover!  

What do you think of my choice?

Book Synopsis:   A war awaits her arrival, a warrant for her arrest. She must rise as a princess. And Darkness shall fall. But will their love survive this battle? For Tristan and Sarajane? Sarajane was taken from the mortal world, the only world she had ever known, and thrust into this new and strange world, when her mother was kidnapped. Learning she was from a different dimension and that her father was someone else was shocking to say the least, but now she is told she will be the one to save them all? Faced with gifts unlike anyone else before her, Sarajane is special, not only the saviour of the people, but a princess too. She must train not only to use her powers but to hone her diplomatic skills as befits a princess of the people. As things spiral out of control and wars break out, Sarajane doesn't know who to trust anymore. If it weren't for her beautiful and sexy warrior Tristan by her side, she is sure she would have run home to the mortal world by now. But amazingly, as more time goes by and more battles are fought, the more this world begins to feel like home. Step back into Saskia.

Excerpt

    I put my head down against the rain  and hoped they would let me pass.  No need to panic yet, I told myself.  As I stepped closer, Saul drew closer, his fists hanging at his side.  Rain had soaked the men, but they didn't seem to notice or care.  I stopped a few feet away and looked up as they moved around me.  

    "Are you lost, lass?" Saul asked.  He didn't look as if he had drunk anything.  "Give us all your money and you can be on your way.

    I didn't have anything on me and told them as much.  Saul removed a small dagger.  "You don't want me to mess up that pretty face, so do as I say."

    The others had created a full circle around me, barricading me against escape.  Their breaths filled my breathing space; alcohol hit me like a slap on the face....along with the knowledge that drunk men were dangerous men.

    "I said give me your money now!"  Saul warned me one last time.

    I looked around, trying to see if I could see anyone, but their large forms blocked my view.  I tried to relax my racing heart and felt for my dagger.  I had to keep it together.

    "I'm afraid I have nothing to offer you, except...."  My stomach turned as I mimicked Dea's actions, running my hand aimlessly along his chest, but that's as far as I went.

    Saul laughed.

    "You don't interest me."  His face turned into a snarl as he grabbed my waist, bringing his knife closer.

    I was out of options.  I slid my knife with my free hand out of my waist band.  A large hand grabbed my other wrist.

 Excerpt

    Food or sex?  Food or sex?  Food or....
    Offering me his hand, he bowed and said, "Come, my queen, your feast awaits you."

    Food it is, then.  Grinning at the unexpected playfulness, I regally presented my hand and allowed him to lead me to my seat.  He poured the wine and held up his glass.

    "Slainte!"

    I touched my glass against his and answered, "Slainte."

    "We have another day in Paris.  What would you like to do with it?"  he asked while filling my plate for me.

    I watched with amusement as he cut up my chicken and tore off a chunk of the warm bread.  Who are you and what have you done with Killian?  He sat the plate in front of me and picked up a piece of the crispy meat with his fingers.  Before I could answer his question, he held the morsel to my lips.  I opened my mouth like a baby bird.

    Sighing with pleasure, I said, "Mm, that's so good."

    With a grin, he sliced a piece for himself while I chewed.  He slipped another piece between my lips, allowing his fingers to linger longer than necessary.  A tingle of electricity wove its way down my spine and I took a calming sip of wine.

    What did I want to do with him in Paris, the most romantic city in the world?  That had to be a trick question.  I mean really.  The only thought that came to mind was sex.... Of course it was hard to think of anything else with his fingertips brushing my lips and his eyes undressing me.  I tried to give him a seductive stare across the table and flinched away at the flash of raw desire in his eyes.  He was taking his time right now but those eyes promised no such restraint later.  I was having a really hard time eating when I only wanted to drag him to the bed.

    "Eat, Princess.  You have to get your strength back.  Did you know that sex burns off a thousand calories?  When you consider your high metabolism, you'll probably burn triple that much by the end of the night.  You're too weak for that now.  Probably we should wait another week or two, just to be safe."
