News Round Up: Dead Beautiful UK cover reveal & sneak peak, L.A Weatherly's Angel Burn available on Netgalley & some great book trailers to check out!

I've been away this week, so I'm just now catching up on all the bookish news on the web. There's been lots in the way of book trailer and cover reveals this week! I'll be highlighting some of my favourite new book covers in the next installment of Cover Candy, but, for now, read on for my pick of this week's bookish news!

Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon is a book I've wanted to read since I first heard about it last year.  I've read some good reviews on US blogs, and now the book is getting a UK release, and it  has a whole new cover too! This one will be published in March 2011 by Usbourne.  You can also check out the first chapter of the book : here

If  you've already read this one, I'd love to know what  you thought! Which cover do  you prefer? The UK cover wins for me here. I love the dark green colouring, the lettering and the extra details that this one has.

Angel Burn, the first book in L.A Weatherly's Angel trilogy is now available for request on Netgalley. I loved this book - I even listed it as one of my favourites of 2010!  This has a new title, and a new cover for the American market, where it publishes in May.  The cover hasn't been officially revealed yet, but, you can get a sneak peak on Netgalley. From what I can see, I prefer the UK cover, but I will discuss in full once the cover is officially unveiled!

Now onto the book trailers! 

I watched this trailer for Lisa McMann's Cryer's Cross late last night, and it seriously spooked me! I have never felt shivers down my spine after watching a book trailer before! Something about this one reminds me of Samara in the movie The Ring. When I first encountered Samara, she scared the bejesus out of me, just like this trailer did! I've read a few negative reviews of this one, so even though I've got an e-galley, I've held off reading it, but now, after watching the trailer, I think I just might pick it up!

The trailer for Kim Harrington's Clarity was also revealed this week. I love the sound of this book. Thanks to my blogger friend, Heidi, I have a copy, so I'll be reading it soon!








I'd love to know your thoughts on these books if you've read them, and what you think of the covers and trailers!
