Ta-Dah!
Two destinies. One death.
“Her kiss could kill us, and my consent signed our death certificates.”
Eric Welborn isn’t completely human, but he isn’t the only shade in the small Midwest town of Hayworth. With one year left before his eighteenth birthday, Eric is destined to win a long-raging war for his kind. But then she happens. In the middle of the night, Eric meets a nameless shade, and she’s powerful—too powerful—and his beliefs are altered. The Dark has lied to him, and he’s determined to figure out exactly what lies were told, even if the secrets protect his survival.
Jessica Taylor moves to Hayworth, and her only goal is to find more information on her deceased biological family. Her adoptive parents agree to help on one condition: perfect grades. And Jessica is distraught when she’s assigned as Eric’s class partner. He won’t help, let alone talk to her, but she’s determined to change him—even if it means revealing everything he’s strived to hide.
Isn’t it beautiful?

CONGRATULATIONS SHANNON
THANK YOU. 😀
~SAT
Amazing new cover reveal.
Definitely going to order your book Shannon.
Clean Teen publishing has given you a cover that really shows off your novel brilliantly.
I’m so thankful for your support. My gratitude goes out to you! Clean Teen did an amazing job, and they continue to do so. The interior is just as gorgeous as the cover.
~SAT
You are very welcome and supporting you is always a pleasure. I look forward to reading Minutes Before Sunset. Will it be available for kindle?
It should go up for pre-order in the near future. 😀 I’ll definitely keep you updated. But the official release date is July 25, 2015.
~SAT
Thanks Shannon and good luck with sales.
I love it! I’ve emailed you the link to my post. That’s a lot of members – it’s amazing! 🙂
Thank you! I’m glad there are so many Members of the Dark. 😀 I will have to make Members of the Light badges too.
~SAT
Haha, and then I shall have them both! Talk about contradictory 😉 Well, if you think about it… *secret grin*
Congratulations! The cover looks stunning!
Thank you! I’m glad you love it!
~SAT
That is a very cool cover.
Thank you. 😀 Clean Teen Publishing’s artist is very talented.
~SAT
What a beautiful cover! Congratulations!!
Thank you. 😀 Glad you like it.

I am going to be totally honest here Shannon. This is the best decision you have ever made! Although I consider this to be one of my favourite series, I never liked the covers. This cover is asolutely stunning, and I truly believe that the cover of a book is what draws readers in. I know when I stand in a bookstore, it’s the cover that causes me to pick up a book and read what it’s about. I think you are going to see your sales rise dramatically :).
I completely appreciate (and love) your honesty. I am very excited about the new covers, and I cannot wait for the new covers of the second and third book to release too. I am hoping readers love the new covers like you do. 😀 Sharing your thoughts with me means a lot to me because your reaction is everything I am hoping for.
~SAT
That really is a stunning cover!
Thank you. 😀
~SAT
Beautiful cover
Thank you. 😀
~SAT
Beautiful cover!
Thank you. :]
~SAT
Your mention of Member of the Light badges got me excited again! Haha!
Haha I thought that would be fun to release with Death Before Daylight.

Even though it’s not normally my genre, that cover makes me want it. I believe that means it’s doing it’s job. XD Congrats!
I’m glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much!
~SAT
I know I already commented on FB, but I wanted to add that I think the new cover looks better than the old one
Aw, thank you! I’m excited about the new covers too. 😀 It’s nice to hear readers’ reactions toward this one compared to the last one too.
