Once again...thanks to Spencer Hill Press for including Better Read Than Dead in this wonderful cover reveal. I'm completely mesmerized.
Who doesn't love a cover with vivid blue eyes on a handsome young man?
And there's a bit of mystery too. Is the man in the background friend or foe? I suppose we will have to read Finn Finnegan to see.

Synopsis:
Finn Finnegan
Finn (not bleedin' Finnegan) MacCullen is eager to begin his apprenticeship. He soon discovers the ups and downs of hunting monsters in a suburban neighborhood under the demanding tutelage of the Knight, Gideon Lir. Both master and apprentice are descendents of the Tuatha De Danaan, a magical race of warriors from Ireland. Scattered long ago to the four corners of the world, the De Danaan wage a two thousand year old clandestine battle with their ancient enemy, the Amandán, a breed of goblin-like creatures.
Now with the beasts concentrating their attacks on Finn, he and his master must race to locate the lost Spear of the Tuatha De Danaan, the only weapon that can destroy the Amandán, all the while hiding his true identity from his new friends, Rafe and Savannah, twins whose South African roots may hold a key to Finn's survival. Armed with a bronze dagger, some ancient Celtic magic, and a hair-trigger temper, Finn is about to show his enemies the true meaning of "fighting Irish."

Thanks so much for having Finn visit your awesome blog!
ReplyDeleteAnd both characters have the same haunting blue eyes! Oh, I my bookish nose smells something interesting. I like this cover - finally, a young guy for a young adult book cover!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post!!
Ron...I thought this cover was so cool...like you said, a young guy for a young adult cover. I'm sad that it won't release until 2013, though. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteDarby...thank you so much for stopping by. I've enjoyed having Finn for a visit. Maybe sometime closer to release we can do an interview or something!
ReplyDeleteOh, very green just reminded of Ireland even if I haven't been there at all. Will be watching out for this one. :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome cover! I agree, It's nice to see the guys on the cover.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks really interesting, and I agree that this book cover looks really good! I was looking at it and I just started thinking of Peeta from the Hunger Games because—since I'm really random—I think of really weird things. ;)
ReplyDeleteYikes, I meant to write you back sooner. Bad author. Yes, I would love to stop by your awesome blog again - thank you for asking. :-)
