Expertus (GenEx Saga #2) by Holly Lauren || Release date: Oct. 5th 2014.
You might remember that a little while ago I read and loved a little book by the name of Tempus by Holly Lauren. Tempus is one of my 2014 favourites and I've been eagerly awaiting news of a sequel. Well, Expertus is almost here and it looks as though the series has gotten a cover makeover.
I have to say it: I'm not a huge fan of this new cover look. Yes, I guess it fits the series - Tempus is a touch paranormal, a touch science fiction; and from what we learned at the end of the first book, and this new cover direction, I'm guessing the Sci-Fi aspect will be amped up in the second book. Now, I'm not a fan of Sci-Fi - it turns me right off. If this was my first look at the series, I'm not sure that I would have picked up Tempus. And then, I would really have missed out on a great read!
Here's are the old and new covers of Tempus side-by-side.
I know that the old cover doesn't exactly scream paranormal or science-fiction, and I think that's maybe what I liked about it. Well, that and the fact that it's quite pretty!
What do you think?
Have you read Tempus? If not, it's definitely worth checking out. Here's my review: clicky.
Hm. I really like softness and the simplicity of the original cover, but if this has sci-fi and paranormal elements, I can see why it got redesigned. I like the new covers well enough, the colors are definitely eye catching which is a good thing! Thanks for sharing Leanna, I'll have to check this series out:)
ReplyDeleteI really like the new covers, but seeing them side by side with the original is certainly a bit of a shock. I would never in a million years guess that these were the same books based on the covers!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this series, but it sounds interesting, so I will have to keep my eyes open for these books.
