Exclusive UK Cover Reveal for Shattered by Teri Terry and Giveaway!

I'm very excited to be bringing to you today a first look at the newly released cover for the third book in the Slated series SHATTERED by Teri Terry. This has to be my favourite UKYA Dystopian series and I can't wait for this book to be released next March! If the cover reveal wasn't exciting enough I also have the lovely Teri Terry sharing her thoughts on the cover and a UK giveaway for either Slated (book one) or Fractured (book two) for anyone who hasn't had the chance to check out this incredible series yet.

Without further ado here is the moment you've all been waiting for, the gorgeous cover for Shattered!


A Word From The Author 

I’ve been SO lucky with my covers with the Slated trilogy: I love them all.

There was a long story behind the Slated cover, and I’ve blogged about it before (http://www.notesfromtheslushpile.com/2012/02/slated-getting-it-covered.html). You can see there the different versions the cover went through, and how it almost didn’t happen when the photographer couldn’t be contacted and was only tracked down at the last minute.

The photographer did a photo shoot with the same model for the next covers. Fractured didn’t go through as much evolution as Slated, now that we had the basic look of the trilogy: the only thing that changed along the way was the choice of image. But when I saw the gorgeous cover to Fractured, while I loved it, it raised one doubt in my mind. Fractured has a broken glass effect around the edges: where were they going to go with Shattered that was beyond this?

I needn't have worried: I’m pretty sure the cover to Shattered is my favourite. Originally it was more white, then into warmer colours, and the change I suggested was making the colours cooler and going into blue – I was thinking making it cold, like shattered ice. I love the effect they’ve used.

And I’ve also interviewed Haley, the cover girl, herself! So if you ever wondered what it would be like to have your face appear on book covers around the world, check it out here: http://teriterry.jimdo.com/2013/04/11/what-is-it-like-to-be-on-a-book-cover-meet-hayley-slated-fractured-cover-girl/ 

 End 

I have to agree with Teri - I think Shattered is my favourite of the series too! I'm so glad that they decided to go with a colder look. I'm loving the shattered ice! What do you think of the cover?
