{Cover Wars} The Scarlet Dagger by Krystle Jones part II

Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Cover Wars the place where covers aren’t afraid of you telling them who you like best, where they crave for the action and they want the attention. Last week we had Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and let me tell you guys it was a rough battle that I thought it would end in a tie, but at the last minute someone came and changed the game, but enough rambling you want to know who the winner is….

The Most Known Cover

Now that we’ve taken a good hard look at the winner let’s take a look at these week’s contestants, for some of you this might seem like a déjà vu but you see this old cover wars contestant has a new cover and soo it is time again for you to call up your favorite. The book is The Scarlet Dagger by Krystle Jones and if you haven’t heard about it here is your chance.

The strength of Sloane’s heart is about to be put to the ultimate test.

After the Eclipse – the night vampires began openly slaughtering human victims – everything changed. Out of fear, the government salvaged what remained of the human population and enclosed them in massive, security-laden cities called White Sectors, while marking the vampire infested territory as Red Sectors.

When seventeen-year-old Sloane McAllister’s twin brother disappears, she seems to be the only one who thinks he isn’t dead, and vows to stop at nothing to find him. Gathering her courage, she braves the Red Sector to search for clues to his whereabouts. By chance, she encounters Aden, a handsome, charismatic vampire with a hidden agenda. He turns Sloane against her will, and whisks her away to his underground city. Enemies quickly become friends as Sloane struggles against her attraction to Aden, and resists her growing loyalties to the creatures that ruined her life. But the vampires themselves are the least of her problems. The city is harboring a devastating secret, one that could change the tide of the war and threaten to destroy everything Sloane has come to believe in.

Ok, now keep your eyes and mind open while you take a look at all the covers guys!

First up  we have the one I like to call the “bad ass cover”, the one where Sloan looks so though, ready for anything that she could come out of the cover at any moment and just smack us all up into redemption.

Next up we have the “reflections cover” where we get to see Sloane’s interpretation of herself, the breakage between past and present, the ‘would be’s’ and the reality, who she was and who she is.

Last but not least we have the newest cover, where we have a more stylish version of Sloane with the big bad darkness of the night behind her.

So guys here are your contestants now it is up to you to decide who the more swoon worthy or the one that is itching you to be in your bookshelf cover is. Please remember to vote and comment below, I hope you enjoy this edition of Cover Wars and I will see you next week.

If you didn't like Twilight, then read The Scarlet Dagger by Krystle Jones

So this is the second eidtion of If you didn’t like the Twilight movies, I hope this really helps those of you that maybe because of this movie or maybe another reason got turned off from vampires, to the Twilight fans I mean no disrespect and if at some point what I wrote became offensive let me know in a respectful way, I’ve re-read this post and saw nothing that might offend you guys. Now then shall we take a lookf at reason number two?

I like my girl with spunk and a fight to give

Ok so Bella lost a lot of points in book two went she went into not only depression but also into self-destruction mode to be able to hear Edwards voice. If you want a heroine that is in some way related to vampires that can kick some butt, stay strong no matter what life throws at her and at the end of the day have a little romance on the side then I think ladies and gents I have the thing for you.

I think you will like the The Red Sector Chronicles where in The Scarlet Dagger we meet Sloane who is trying to make sense of what the world has become and the people they have lost. Sloane still believes her brother is alive even after the night vampires started slaughtering people where he disappeared.

Now Sloane will leave the safety of the city to explore the Red Sector in hopes of finding her lost twin brother, what she finds will not only defy her wildest dreams but also shake everything she thought she knew about her world.

In this book you will find action, romance a strong heroine, nice and evil vampires and a would that could turn dystopian right before your eyes.

Now the heroines in last edition of "If you didn't like Twilight" also fit this mold so if you want to take a look just click on the pretty little link right here.

Cover Wars: The Scarlet Dagger by Krystle Jones

Welcome to Cover Wars where covers go into a show down and you are the one to pick a winner. Today we have The Scarlet Dagger by

First we have the original cover when this book was only in e-book format:

Next we have this one, the cover that was made because the first book couldn't print well for the paperback edition:

For those of you that don't know this book you should give it a go this is a fantastic read! to know more about it feel free to check my review of The Scarlet Dagger by Krystle Jones. Now lets talk about the covers, they are both great and tell you something about the story, the difference is the element that dominates in both of them in the first version we see more sweetness and confusion from a girl that has venture to the unsafe of her world, outside from the safety of her district. 

In the second cover we find the strength the heroine portrays when times get though during the story, but if you look closely you see that the girl means busyness and that if you think of her as a weakling she will blast of the cover, yes not pop-out but BLAST OFF the cover and kick your derrière. But fear not as though as Sloan is she would never become aggressive for no reason at all, so we are safe.

What do you think? What cover do you love more? Does one of them "speaks" to you? Please share your thought with us, for every comment a fairy gets her wings (the good type of fairies so worry not).

{Review} The Scarlet Dagger by Krystle Jones

Series: The Red Sector Chronicles #1

Publication Date: October 23, 2011

ASIN: B005z26DWM

Synopsis

Sloane McAlister has finally found the way to run away from the safety of the white sector and venture into the wild dangers of the red sector, whit the hope that she may find her missing brother.

Even though three years have passed, Sloane still hopes that her twin brother Orion is alive and well, even though she knows his chances are slim after that horrible Halloween night that changed the world for ever and tore the siblings apart. 

She has been training to fight vampires ever since that faithful day when vampires stopped being "made believe" and became humanity's worst nightmare, but what McAllister discovered when she crossed to the red sector was something that not even all her years of training could prepare her for.

Review

I just loved this book, Krystle Jones plays with a world that is post-apocalyptic with a pre-dystopian vibe, that is really fun to read.

Krystle gives us this really wonderful story full of freshness, characters that are really fun to read and a twist and plot that made the little voice in my head that likes to make conspiracy theories and tries to jump ahead in the book hang on every word to see if it could guess what was coming next.

The only complain that I have about The Scarlet Dagger is that it ended. I wasn't ready for it to end; even though I saw it coming and even if this is just the first volume and I know there are more to come I just enjoyed this one so much that I didn't want it to end.
