If you saw it, would you read it? ‘Til the World Ends by Julie Kagawa #ReadOrNot

About the front:
Do you notice that there’s basically nothing on this cover? That may be so but the big, huge text covering it makes me want to look through it and that’s what caught my eye. This isn’t a traditional book cover. This is like a movie poster and the roots coming out of the E and the clouds in the top text really caught my eye and made me look twice. I like how un-normal this is. I have no idea what genre the book is – and am guessing mystery or even thriller or even dystopian with that title. I like it and that’s what’s so important!

Now let’s look at what the back says:

Dawn of Eden by Julie Kagawa
Before The Immortal Rules, there was the Red Lung, a relentless virus determined to take out all in its path. For Kylie, the miracle of her survival is also her burden—as a doctor at one of the clinics for the infected, she is forced to witness endless suffering. What’s worse, strange things are happening to the remains of the dead, and by the time she befriends Ben Archer, she’s beginning to wonder if a global pandemic is the least of her problems…

Thistle & Thorne by Ann Aguirre
After a catastrophic spill turns the country into a vast chemical wasteland, those who could afford it retreated to fortresses, self-contained communities run by powerful corporations. But for Mari Thistle, life on the outside—in the Red Zone—is a constant struggle. To protect her family, Mari teams up with the mysterious Thorne Goodman. Together, they’ll face an evil plot in both the underworld of the Red Zone and the society inside the fortresses that could destroy those on the outside… for good.

Sun Storm by Karen Duvall
Sarah Daggot has been chasing storms since she was a child. But after the biggest solar flares in history nearly destroy the planet, she becomes a Kinetic, endowed by her exposure to extreme radiation with the power to sense coming storms—in the cosmos and beyond. And she’s not the only one. Sarah believes the Kinetics are destined to join forces and halt the final onslaught of the sun. She’ll vow to keep trying to convince the one missing link in their chain of defense, the enigmatic Ian Matthews, up until the world ends.

Does it match? Front to Back without the in between?

Well, first off, I didn’t pick up on this being a series of smaller stories! That’s actually kinda cool.

Now for this little description, I have to say: awesome! This little blurb is totally this cover! And I’m looking at a thriller here. Yup. Very much liking how this is tied in. Let’s keep going …

So post-apocalyptic-esq. Love how this cover fits this one, too.

Another post-apocalyptic! This cover really fits these blurbs and all three blurbs are really good. I’m very, VERY interested in reading this!
