Cover Combat: Heart of the Dragon (Atlantis #1)

Cover Combat is a weekly meme hosted by Anagha at Book Spark. It's something that I enjoy participating in at her blog and thought I'd give it a go here. Ana usually has a giveaway to go along with it, thanks to the support of various authors offering up copies of their books. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to giveaway but I hope you'll participate just the same.

I am guilty of judging a book by it's cover! I admit it. A nice cover really helps to draw my attention to a book. I don't necessarily let the cover alone decide whether to buy it though, but an appealing cover goes a long way!

This weeks cover combat is Heart of the Dragon, book one in Gena Showalter's Atlantis series.

Synopsis
Grace Carlyle's world was about to change . . .
Deep in the jungle on the trail of her missing brother, Grace never expected to find a secret world populated by mythological monsters -- nor guarded by a sword-wielding being whose beauty put mortal men to shame.
Darius en Kragin belongs to a race of shape-shifting warriors sworn to guard Atlantis and kill all travelers who stray within its boundaries. Yet when Grace stumbles into his realm, he finds himself tempted to betray his centuries-old vow.
Now their forbidden love will either bring their worlds together -- or tear them both apart.

For my first cover combat I randomly selected a book that was recommended to me on Goodreads: Glass Houses (The Morganville Vampires #1) by Rachel Caine.

Synopsis
From the author of the popular Weather Warden series comes the debut of an exciting new series set in Morganville, Texas, where you would be well advised to avoid being out after dark.

College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation. When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new roommates don't show many signs of life, but they'll have Claire's back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood.
