Hello everyone!
From time to time a book or series will get a complete book cover overhaul, which often happens after the book(s) have been out for a while. Wherever to give the book a new look to increase sales or just a fresh re-beginning most times we as readers either love the new covers or aren't a fan and prefer the old ones.
Today I will be sharing a brand new cover(s) reveal for one of my favorite book series, TEMPTATION by Karen Ann Hopkins! She's also one of my favorite authors too, just putting that out there, again. ;)
I absolutely adore the new covers and I hope you all do too! So let's get started...
Book #1, Temptation
Here's the old cover.
and here is the new one!
Wow, look at the difference! While the original cover is very pretty this new one is simply gorgeous!
The colors remind me of a sunset. The font used and placement is eye catching and beautifully done.
I love the Amish horse and buggy in the foreground and the image of the girl portraying Rose is spot on! Just an outstanding job all around.
Book #2, Belonging
Here's the old cover.
and here is the new one!
The original cover for Belonging was actually my favorite one in the series. To be completely honest I like it better than the new cover. Although I will say the new one is quite beautiful. I love the golden colors used and again the use of the buggy in the foreground gives the book a more Amish feel, which helps new buyers know the book is an Amish novel simply by the cover.
Book #3, Forever
Here's the old cover.
and here is the new one!
Oh my goodness!
Now THIS is a perfect cover! I have mad love for Forever's new cover! It's breathtaking!
It features my favorite colors, blue and purple. You can see the horse pulling the buggy in this one and my favorite part is the snowy blizzard in the background. Again the girl portraying Rose on the cover is beautiful and elegant. There is nothing about this new cover I dislike, not one darn thing! It's easily my favorite the bunch.
Book #4, Rachel's Deception cover will be posted tomorrow.
So be sure to come back to this post of see it!
The artist behind these new covers is Jenny Zemanek of Seedlings Design Studio!
The series will be re-released with these new covers in late August! I will be announcing the official date on my blog coming soon...
In the meantime, if you have never heard of the series or have but have yet to read the books I welcome you to check out my review for Temptation, Belonging and Forever.
So I ask you all, what cover do you love the most? What are your thoughts on the new cover re-design? Do you prefer the new ones or the old? Leave me a comment and let me know.
To learn more about the author, Karen Ann Hopkins look below.
Karen Ann Hopkins resides in northern Kentucky with her family on a farm that boasts a menagerie of horses, goats, peacocks, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs and cats. Karen's main job is home schooling the kids, but she finds time to give riding lessons, coach a youth equestrian drill team, and of course, write. She was inspired to create her first book, Temptation, by the Amish community she lived in. The experiential knowledge she gained through her interactions with her neighbors drove her to create the story of the star-crossed lovers, Rose and Noah.Karen grew up about a mile from Lake Ontario in Upstate New York. She was bitten by the horse bug at the age of five, and after diligently taking riding lessons for several years, was rewarded with her first horse at the age of eleven. The feisty horse's name was Lady, a Quarter Horse-Thoroughbred cross, who became Karen's steadfast companion. Through the years, the constant force in her life was horses. Eventually, she found her place as a riding instructor herself. Before accepting her fate in the barnyard, she worked a short stint as a paralegal, traveled abroad, and guided tourists on horseback riding tours in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.Karen is currently working on her Amish mystery series, Serenity's Plain Secrets, along with the YA paranormal/fantasy series, The Wings of War, and the continuation of the Temptation series. Karen is also excited to announce the Temptation series has been optioned for TV by Pilgrim Studios and is available on Audible."I loved joining Rose and Noah during their journey in the Temptation series by Karen Hopkins."-Katie McGarry, acclaimed YA author
