Hi, Elisa!

Thank you for the nice review. I love Josh Lanyon's books and I loved also this one. Me too I was wondering which kind of thing he would write, being his first experiment with fantasy: it came out good!

I'm glad you are showing here also the cover of the paper edition of Blind Eyes Books. It is much more connected to the story than the Samhain cover.

Ciao

Antonella

I like Dawn Kimberling's covers so it's my pleasure to showcase one. And yes, even if different, this one was as always a good Josh Lanyon's.

Not having read the book I prefer the top cover rather than the bottom one.

Well, the bottom cover shouldn't have had the writing on the side, and then would have been even better. But the top one it's just two typical hunks, they could have been on the cover of *any* m/m book. Anyway it's a matter of personal opinion ;-). Ciao!

I adore the top cover but really don't like the bottom one, shame it's on all the versions except the samhain book.

[elisa_rolle]

the bottom one is more "classical" of fantasy genre. Samhain's cover is more typical of M/M romance. I think it depends on the audience.

Thank you very much for the review, Elisa. It's so very nice of you to review when you don't usually enjoy fantasy.

I hope (believe) that you're right. The elements that readers enjoy in my stories are going to be found in my fantasy work too.

And Antonella, I do agree with you about the artwork. Dawn's artwork is unique and beautiful. It's a lovely thing to have someone take the time to do original artwork for you.

To me this was not so much different from your usual work, so I think your usual fans will not be disappointed; moreover, also the fantasy lovers will learn to like you.
