My night was Ruined!

I adore the Mara Dyer trilogy by Michelle Hodkin, so naturally I'm dying for the finale.  It's Dyer!!! Ha, so it was supposed to come out this past Tuesday.  I didn't realize that it had come out because I didn't see any crazy reactions on twitter, but I got so excited regardless when I remembered.  I was going to read it all night, but guess what? Yeah, you know what's coming...

I attempted to get a hold of the book, and I found out that Retribution of Mara got pushed back to January. NOOOOOO! The unfairness!!!!! 

I hate when release dates are changed. I realize editing takes some time, but I was so looking forward to it.  With this extra time, it should blow my socks off.  I'm sure my mind will be blown.

Cover Reveal: The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Look how pretty it is!!!!!!!!

So, Entertainment Weekly was the first to reveal the cover which explains their logo adulterating that beautiful cover.

I'm thinking Noah's alive? Thank the lord!

I honestly wasn't expecting this as the cover.  I did a post earlier showing the photos in the Abyss of the Dishearted by Heather Landis, the photo shoot in which the two other cover art photo's were chosen.  

I thought this one was going to be the winner, because Mara looks like she's breaking free and this is sad, but I didn't think the designer would give away what happens to Noah from the cover!

The photo was definitely lightened, but I like the original seen below a lot. Moreover, it seems that they get lighter and lighter with each cover, nonetheless a very nice move on the designer and author's part.  

I personally, love these covers.  They're gorgeous and kind of dark just like the books.

Can't wait till it hits the shelves!

What are your thoughts on the covers?
