Broken Cover Reveal and ARC Giveaway!

Before we get to the pretty part, here is a little bit about the book, Broken by A. E. Rought:
Imagine a modern spin on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein where a young couple’s undying love and the grief of a father pushed beyond sanity could spell the destruction of them all.
A string of suspicious deaths near a small Michigan town ends with a fall that claims the life of Emma Gentry’s boyfriend, Daniel. Emma is broken, a hollow shell mechanically moving through her days. She and Daniel had been made for each other, complete only when they were together. Now she restlessly wanders the town in the late Fall gloom, haunting the cemetary and its white-marbled tombs, feeling Daniel everywhere, his spectre in the moonlight and the fog.
When she encounters newcomer Alex Franks, only son of a renowned widowed surgeon, she’s intrigued despite herself. He’s an enigma, melting into shadows, preferring to keep to himself. But he is as drawn to her as she is to him. He is strangely…familiar. From the way he knows how to open her locker when it sticks, to the nickname she shared only with Daniel, even his hazel eyes with brown flecks are just like Daniel’s. The closer they become, though, the more something inside her screams there’s something very wrong with Alex Franks.

And when Emma stumbles across a grotesque and terrifying menagerie of mangled but living animals within the walls of the Franks’ estate, creatures she surely knows must have died from their injuries, she knows.

So... what do you think? I really like how the fence makes up the title and the muted trees in the background. The book sounds creepy and intriguing, I'll definitely be reading it. The book will be released simultaneously in print and e-book in January 2013.

What are your thoughts? Share them to be entered to win an ARC of Broken. (See terms and conditions in the rafflecopter).

  4. Stunning! It's not the most original cover, I've seen a lot of girls in really long dresses (even white dresses), but it still looks amazing!

  10. This is a beautiful cover! I love the colors. I love the creepy graveyard. I love the fonts and how the title is incorporated into the gate. I love how the girl looks ghostly too! It's too bad they included a blurb on the cover since the cover is intriguing enough. This cover is definitely a win in my book though!

    2. It is interesting that you say that about the blurb. I usually love blurbs on the front (if I know the author's work, it makes me want the book more than the cover would). Cool to see another opinion on it.

  11. Pretty cover - gothic feel with a little wistfullness. With the brightness behind the girl's hair, appropriately reminiscent of Bride of Frankenstein!

    Thanks,

    1. I didn't even think of that! But now that you mention it, I don't know how I didn't. Bride of Frankenstein is perfect!

  12. The red and white contrast really works. It has that paranormal feel to it and the red seems like blood or fire. Very nice!
