I thought I would just get right to the point. Isn’t that cover AMAZEBALLS? WOW. I am truly loving the pinkish cast of the whirlpool-looking element on the bottom. Looks menacing.
I am pretty damn impressed with the covers of this series, overall. NICE WORK. If you haven’t started this series yet, you should really get with the program, yo. M.R. Merrick‘s foray into YA Fantasy is so damn fun, full of characters that will grip your heart and action that will knock you into next week. I am a true fan and really look forward to Release, even though I am kinda nervous!
After uniting the shifters and calling in reinforcements, Chase has to face his toughest challenge yet: learning to control his emotions. But as tensions rise and his powers grow, controlling his emotions becomes the least of his problems.
Terrorized by a multi-shifter who is hell-bent on turning him, Chase questions just how far he’s willing to go to stop his father. Meanwhile, Tiki’s virtuous nature has placed him in the middle of Vincent’s past, leaving Chase to oppose a senate of vampires and defend a demon he hates.
Trying to balance his friends, his enemies, and his inner demons, Chase is left searching for answers about the Mark, his destiny, and where he can find the next soul piece. Stopping Riley is his top priority, but as more obstacles arise, he finds himself doubting all the decisions he’s made – especially regarding Rayna.
One thing is for certain: Chase has finally realized that he doesn’t know anything. The light doesn’t always quell the darkness, the monsters don’t always stay in the shadows, and the past doesn’t always stay in the past – sometimes, the demons inside are the hardest to fight.
Release Date: December 10, 2012
In case you are lagging behind, you can read my reviews of the first two books in the series:

I like it! Kind of reminds me of one of the World of Warcraft settings where there’s this huge purple crater thing (I fell in a couple of times…). Yes, my nerd is showing. She likes to come out at inopportune times.
Good ole Warcrack…
EEK! I agree with Mary about this cover being reminiscent of World of Warcraft, which my nephews play nonstop!
I thought you were gonna say that YOU play it.
I think that is mostly a game enjoyed by males. I keep asking my nephews “What’s the point of this game?” and I never get a satisfactory answer!
I love this cover so much! It’s gorgeous and makes me so excited for the book!!
Great cover! I’ve heard great things about M. R. Merrick! This cover is creepy looking!
If you like YA Fantasy and elemental magic, I say this is a must!
Agree. It is pretty amazeballs!
