Cover Reveal: 'The Invisible Life Of Addie LaRue' By V. E. Schwab

V.E. Schwab has been one to watch out for after A Darker Shade of Magic took the breath out of me. Since then I vowed to get a copy of each and every one of her books and savor each tale full of unique voices, ghastly and chilling stories, all in varying genres of entertaining reads.

She is best known to tackle on Gothic and dark tales even when she writes for young readers. That is why there is no surprise that her next outing will have to deal with the same genre-defying horror. It is called The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and will be released fall this year. You can see below its official cover which was just recently revealed.

Check out the cover of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab.

Synopsis

In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.

A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever―and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab will be released on October 6, 2020.

'Bird Box' Sequel 'Malorie' By Josh Malerman Gets Redesigned Official Cover

Well, it's no surprise that after the success of the adapatation of Bird Box, starring Sandra Bullock, the source material will attract more attention and thereby gaining more readership. And if you are one of those people who thought reading the book will fill you in on the gaps the movie left us with, then you will simply cry after reading as it will just give you more unanswered questions.

Lucky for us a sequel is coming our way, but I won't hold my breath that all the questions will be answered, if not adding more questions to the lot. It is out in a few months and a new official cover has been release, reminiscent to the poster of the movie... This is actually a redesign as opposed to the simplistic painting version of the original one that was release a few months ago.

Check out the official cover of Malorie by Josh Malerman.

Malorie by Josh Malerman

Synopsis

In the thrilling sequel to Bird Box, the inspiration for the record-breaking Netflix film that starred Sandra Bullock and “absolutely riveted” Stephen King, New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman brings unseen horrors to life.

The film adaptation of Malerman’s first novel, Bird Box, was watched by over forty-five million Netflix accounts in the first week, the best first seven days ever for a film on the platform. Countless more came to know the story through social media. The image of Sandra Bullock’s character, Malorie, blindfolded—as she’s led through a terrifying near-future apocalypse by the trained ears of her children—has become synonymous with a new generation of horror.

Now from the mind of a true master of suspense comes the next chapter in the riveting tale. This time, Malorie is front and center, and she will confront the dangers of her world head-on.

Malorie by Josh Malerman will be released on July 21, 2020.

'The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges' By Eoin Colfer Official Cover, Synopsis, And Release Date

One of the reasons why the stories by Eoin Colfer endures is because of his playfulness as a writer. As a young reader back then I never get the dull feeling when reading his books. The Artemis Fowl books were some of my all-time favorite reads that cultivated me to read more and more.

Now the author has moved on to his spin-off series after having completed the story arc of his original character. Focusing on the similarly genious and naughty twin siblings the new series called The Fowl Twins is now on its second offering and the official cover, synopsis and release date have just been revealed.

Check out the cover of The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges by Eoin Colfer.

The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges by Eoin Colfer

Synopsis

The second Fowl Twins adventure, a spinoff of the blockbuster Artemis Fowl series, starts with a bang--literally. Artemis's little brothers Myles and Beckett borrow the Fowl jet without permission, and it ends up as a fireball over Florida. The twins plus their fairy minder, the pixie-elf hybrid Lazuli Heitz, are lucky to escape with their lives. The Fowl parents and fairy police force decide that enough is enough and the twins are placed under house arrest. But Myles has questions like: Who was tracking the Fowl jet? Why would someone want to blow them out of the sky? What is the bigger picture? These questions must infuriate someone, because Myles is abducted and spirited away from his twin. Beckett and Lazuli must collaborate to find Myles and rescue him. Their chase will take them across continents, deep underground, and into subacquatic super villain lairs. They will be shot at, covered in spit, and be at the receiving end of some quite nasty dwarf sarcasm. Will Beckett be able to come up with a genius plan without a genius on hand?

The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges by Eoin Colfer will be released on October 20, 2020.
