SPELL BOUND has a cover!!

And lo, it is BEAUTIFUL!! Seriously, feast your eyes upon THIS:





Once again, the amazing people at Hyperion have hit it out of the PARK, if you ask me. I cannot WAIT to see this one next to the other two, even though the thought of that makes me kind of sad because once I have the final copy, it will mean the trilogy is *sniff* OVER. Yes, there are more adventures to come in the HEX HALL universe, but Sophie's story wraps up in SPELL BOUND. That meant that this book was probably the toughest book I've ever had to write. I wanted to give my beh-behs a fitting send-off, and while y'all can decided whether or not I've done that in March, for now I CAN say that the art department at Hyperion has DEFINITELY delivered on a gorgeous going away present. :)

As for the actual stuff happening on the cover...hmmmm....is that a SWORD Sophie is holding? Whoever could THAT belong to? And there in the bottom is that...is she...why, YES, I DO believe she's wearing a rather rumpled looking Hecate Hall uniform. What is THAT all about? Here are a FEW clues in the description from Amazon:

Hailed as “impossible to put down,” the Hex Hall series has both critics and teens cheering. With a winning combination of romance, action, magic and humor, this third volume will leave readers enchanted.

Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.

Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?



LET THE SPECULATING BEGIN. ;-)

Also, let's give one last final farewell to the cat who, as you can see, is taking a little break this go round. I like to think he's all, "Guuuurl, I am TIRED! And in this book you go to [redacted], and you meet [redacted], and you find out that [redacted] is [redacted], and [redacted] DIES. Aw, hell no! Sitting this one OUT!"

So cat or no, I hope y'all love this one as much as I do! Now come on March!!

XOXO!

Jodi said...

Okay...so my eyes are all bloodshot from my marathon reading of 1 and 2 in the last 24 hours. Seriously...how am I supposed to wait until MARCH!!! I'm dying. Also dying because I have a 30 page goal to reach by October's Writer's Conference. With 5 loads of laundry pending and an expected eight, yes EIGHT, children in my house for the majority of the day...I'd say I'll have that knocked out by bedtime, right? Right????

Hi My name is "Larry" just want to share my experience with the world on how i got my love back and saved my marriage... I was married for 7years with 2kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time... it got worse at a point that she filed for divorce... I tried my best to make her change her mind & stay with me cause i loved her with all my heart and didn't want to loose her but everything just didn't work out... she moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce... I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster who eventually helped me out... I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice... He did special prayers and used roots and herbs... Within 7 days she called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma she had cost me, moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our third child... I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they have had good news... Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there need's it... You can email me on larryjms49 at gmail dot com to get the spell caster's contact... Don't give up just yet, the different between "Ordinary" & "Extra-Ordinary" is the "Extra" so make extra effort to save your marriage/relationship if it's truly worth it.

Hilz said...

I hope she chooses Cal...or ends up with Cal! Am I alone in that? Does everyone love Archer? And I'm a little lost about the cat too...

Anonymous said...

I am "Michelle", a college grad with a highly professional job. I was
looking for answers & I got them. I was heartbroken that my boyfriend
decided to leave the relationship, a friend introduced me to a spell
caster that did A Lover Retrieval spell for me and within a week of
the spell casting, he called "just to talk". After some pleasant talks
and catching up, he asked to see me again. He is absolutely crazy
about me now and DOES see the good in me that I had hoped he would. We
are back together now happily & even planning on getting married soon.
Should in case you need his services & want's his contact or you have
any more question to ask you can hit me up on michbaines at gmail dot com.

Good Luck
Michelle.

You can see if you click the cover pic and then zoom in idk if its like that for the other HH book covers

I have a feeling that when Sophie comes back from possibly rescuing her mom (that might be a Brannick, or possibly... an Eye?), She will use the sword.. which I think is Demonglass and kill Daisy and Nick.

DemonessOfHellFire said...

Oh my god! March? Of 2012?! I'm gonna cry. That's way to far away to wait! I am way to freaking in love with these books to have to wait! lol By the way Cheer, there's no way that the sword is demonglass. Otherwise there would have been mention of it burning Soph's hand. Probably like "I felt the sword burn in my grasp, but I have to continue." Or something like that. I'm am a reader not a writer. lol :)

Happy evening to every one,
My girlfriend of 2 years and I got back together last night. We broke up 6 weeks ago but continued hanging out together because we really enjoy each others company and we are best friends. We were friends before we became lovers and I NEVER thought she would dump me. She frequently told me that I was "the one" and that we would always be together. But she dumped me!!.At this point, I just realized all hope was lost and started working on moving on. That's when i saw this online spell caster who helped me in casting the spell. Last night she stayed at my place and we sat from around midnight to morning talking about “us”. We just kissed and held hands. She was surprised that her toothbrush was still in the holder on the sink. She told me she wants to get back together and to forgive her for what happened.I recommend this spell caster to anyone who is currently contemplating giving up the hopes of getting their ex back,
The email of the spell caster is templeofancientancestors@gmail.com,

He is very reliable and trust worthy i am a leaving testimony to his spell..... My name is Keneth.

Noooooooo! I don't want this to be the last Sophie book! :( I can't wait to read the third book but I can wait because I don't want it to end!!!!!!!!!

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea
shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic
but I had to tell someone!

Yes, curses can be real and difficult sometimes to detect since they manifest out through our own personality/ego causing us to act in unbecoming ways, be self-destructive, self-sabotaging, make poor decisions, experience lack and poor health which lead us to a string of failed relationships and jobs.i use to act this because a curse was placed on my and a friend of mine at the office introduced me to a spell caster who helped me with the removal of the curse and i was totally free.

I am joes candra, I promise to share this testimony all over the world once my boyfriend return back to me, and today with all due respect i want to thank DR.MARVIN for bringing joy and happiness to my relationship and my family. I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is real and genuine. I never believed in any of these things until i loosed my boyfriend, I required help until i found a grate spell caster, And he cast a love spell for me, and he assured me that I will get my boyfriend back in two days after the spell has been cast. Three days later, my phone rang, and so shockingly, it was my boyfriend who has not called me for past 6 years now, and made an apology for the heart break, and told me that he is ready to be my back bone till the rest of his life with me. DR.MARVIN released him up to know how much i loved and wanted him. And opened his eyes to picture how much we have share together. As I`m writing this testimony right now I`m the most happiest girl on earth and me and my boyfriend is living a happy life and our love is now stronger than how it were even before our break up. So that`s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe.All thanks goes to DR.MARVIN for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in any situation you are undergoing a heart break, and I assure you that as he has done mine for me, he will definitely help you too. MARVINLOVESPLL011@YAHOO.COM that is his email address bye or you can call is hot line on +2349059897314
