COVER COPY REVEALS--Metcalf & Vincent

True evil is rarely obvious. It is quiet, patient.

Insidious.

Awaiting the perfect moment to strike.

Joy Malone finally knows who she is, where she comes from and how to live in two worlds at once. And now she can introduce her family and friends to her mysterious boyfriend, Indelible Ink. But when Ink's twin sister, Invisible Inq, calls in a favor, Joy must accept a dangerous mission to find a forgotten door between worlds—a door hiding a secret that some will kill to keep.

Unseen enemies, treasonous magic and an unthinkable betrayal threaten both the Twixt and human worlds as Joy races to expose an ancient conspiracy and unleash the unalterable truth—some secrets cannot remain secret forever.

WOW! This cover is gorgeous! It's simple, yes, but beautiful! And those colors!! I thought the first book's cover was gorgeous but this one tops them all! I so cannot wait to own this beauty!

Insidious by Dawn Metcalf releases August 25, 2015 

From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent comes a richly imagined, provocative new series set in the dark mythology of the Menagerie…

When Delilah Marlow visits a famous traveling carnival, Metzger's Menagerie, she is an ordinary woman in a not-quite-ordinary world. But under the macabre circus black-top, she discovers a fierce, sharp-clawed creature lurking just beneath her human veneer. Captured and put on exhibition, Delilah in her black swan burlesque costume is stripped of her worldly possessions, including her own name, as she's forced to "perform" in town after town.

But there is breathtaking beauty behind the seamy and grotesque reality of the carnival. Gallagher, her handler, is as kind as he is cryptic and strong. The other "attractions"—mermaids, minotaurs, gryphons and kelpies—are strange, yes, but they share a bond forged by the brutal realities of captivity. And as Delilah struggles for her freedom, and for her fellow menagerie, she'll discover a strength and a purpose she never knew existed.

Renowned author Rachel Vincent weaves an intoxicating blend of carnival magic and startling humanity in this intricately woven and powerful tale.

I have been a fan of Rachel's ever since I first picked up Stray when it first came out. I clearly remember my hesitation of starting what I thought was a "romance" series because that's where Borders shelved it, and I think it was based on the publisher. But what with the praise from 3 of my other fave authors I took the chance on her. Pretty much have been a fangirl since! To date I have all her books, I bought the Soul Screamers in the original format as single books and only bought the 3rd compilation for the bonus story that was never before seen elsewhere! LOL!

While the cover is a bit plain, it does have a bit of mystery to it too because of the plainness. Regardless I will be buying this one because it's Rachel Vincent and pretty much after Stray, she's become an autobuy author!
