Breathtaking, gorgeous, amazing…. I could go on, but you get the point 🙂
I adore the cover!
The designers did such an incredible job on the cover art and just from what I’ve read about the novel, it seems so fitting to the story!
And DAMN, woman! That excerpt! *craves more* I imagine it did to me what the Haze does to people in Black City, because I’m still riding a high long after reading 🙂 I’m crazy excited to see what you offer with the full story!
Big thanks to you and Putnam for allowing me to take part in this! 🙂
The cover’s great! Congrats! 😀
I’m so excited to be a part of your amazing cover reveal!!! I can’t wait to read more:)
The cover is gorgeous! A big thanks to both you and Penguin for organizing this, it’s amazing. I’m glad that I’m a part of this =)

I’m trying to think of the things to bribe you with so I can get the rest of the manuscript. I have an impressive collection of worthless objects if you’re interested 😉
Lol! I’ll put in on the Apocalypsies ARC tour as soon as I get the galleys 🙂
Thanks for having me apart of your big reveal! The cover is really striking (simple but still super pretty) and the first chapter excerpt was awesome!
Cheers!
Elizabeth, the cover is lovely and that first chapter kicks all kinds of ass.
I’m happy to spread the word.
Elizabeth –
I happened to get my hands on a copy of Black City that is an advanced reading copy. I started to read the first few pages, and I couldn’t stop. You have done a very good job with this book. It is a work of art! I can’t wait to read more!
Many thanks! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
