The Talons anthology from Samhain Publishing. Coming one book a week in the month of October, beginning tomorrow, to be released in one print anthology in January, these covers are smokin’ hot and I am too excited not to share them on my blog! I worked with talented cover artist Anne Cain to produce covers that spoke to the tone of the books and she delivered in spades!
The authors and I have been working on and planning this anthology since last January, and the five authors participating stepped forward with dark, erotic, compelling tales of sexy shifters. I hope you’ll check out the first novella in the anthology, Kiss Me Deadly by Shannon Stacey and each novella as they release Tuesdays in October.
After the jump you can see the covers, each book’s tagline and links to the books if you want to read the blurb and the excerpt (you know you want to!)
The Print cover
A collection of five stories taking you to the height of passion.

Kiss Me Deadly by Shannon Stacey
Death is a collective–an unkindness of supernatural ravens with the power to take the form of men and to decide which humans live and which humans die with a mere touch.

King of Prey by Mandy M. Roth
In a place where realms combine and portals open passages to the unknown, a prophecy speaks of fertility being restored to his people through the taking of King Kabril’s mate.

I can’t tell you how badly I want to read this series. If I thought I could sweet talk you into sending me the entire collection RIGHT NOW I’d ply you with an endless supply of chocolate for the next year. lol
The covers are awesome except for the underwear one. I love the last one with the wings. Hot! Are all of these books anthologies? Or will they feature single title stories? Am confused. You know how I feel about anthologies!
Each book above is a stand-alone novella. Then the five novellas will come out together in one print anthology in January (the first cover up there).
:cheer:
I love these covers so much. Anne did a wicked amazing job!
Covers look awesome (I agree with Jane except the underwear one) and stories look intriguing.
I read Kiss Me Deadly last night and it was wicked awesome! I’m already foaming at the mouth for the second book.
