You know what I noticed a few weeks ago?
EJ Wesley's NA supernatural suspense, Blood Fugue. Talk about original cover art—wow! This book really stood out, and that's why I'm highlighting it now.
As part of the Did I Notice Your Book blogfest, I’m giving EJ a public shout-out. Let’s see how long it takes him to find it! ;)

About the book...
“'Some folks treated the past like an old friend. The memories warmed them with fondness for what was, and hope for what was to come. Not me. When I thought of long ago, my insides curdled, and I was left feeling sour and wasted.'
Jenny Schmidt is a young woman with old heartaches. A small town Texas girl with big city attitude, she just doesn’t fit in. Not that she has ever tried.
Life has pummeled her heart into one big, lonely callus. She has no siblings, both parents were dead by sixteen, and her last grandparent—and caretaker—was in the ground before she turned twenty-one. She’s the last living member of her immediate family. Or so she thinks…
'We found my ‘grandfather’ sitting at his dining room table. An entire scorched pot of coffee dangled from his shaky hand. His skin was the ashen gray shade of thunderclouds, not the rich mocha from the photo I’d seen. There were dark blue circles under each swollen red eye. A halo of white hair skirted his bald head, a crown of tangles and mats. Corpses had more life in them.'
Suddenly, instead of burying it with the dead, Jenny is forced to confront the past. Armed only with an ancient family journal, her rifle, and an Apache tomahawk, she must save her grandfather’s life and embrace her dangerous heritage. Or be devoured by it."

Where to find EJ...
Did you see EJ's cover last month?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have a great week, guys! ♥
You just made EJ's day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in our blogfest.
I'm glad! :) No problem, Alex. It was fun!
DeleteI've seen this book around a lot, I might have to give it a try! :D
ReplyDeleteCouldn't hurt! :)
DeleteDefinitely an eye catcher! I've got this one on my tbr list, can't wait to get to it. (:
ReplyDeleteSame here! If my TBR list consisted of physical books, I'd probably be featured on Hoarders. ;)
DeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteYeah! :D
DeleteThe cover reminds me of Picasso's work:)
ReplyDeleteOo, I could see that! :)
DeleteThat is a very cool cover. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI agree. :)
DeleteNo problem, Susan! Thank you for stopping by!
I hadn't noticed EJ's book, but I certainly am now. Very unigue, eye-catcher. "Hey, EJ, Carrie's noticed your book!" You mean that kind of shout out, eh?
ReplyDeleteYeah! Whatever works. ;)
DeleteStopping to find out what book you noticed! Great job at picking a good one out. Sounds delightfully erie. Perfect for October.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lee! It's a fun blogfest, isn't it? :)
DeleteGET OUT!!! I've just been working my way through the DINYB list, posting waaayyyyy too lengthy comments for someone trying to get through them all before noon and--WOOMP! There I am! :-D *cue obscure 90s song reference*
ReplyDeleteSeriously didn't expect to see me pop up today, and it made me giggle like a schoolboy.
Carrie, I'd seriously hug you if I didn't fear electrical shock from squeezing the computer. You're the best! I'm going to go and gloat over Alex's soon. :-)
I will not get out, Mr. Wesley. This is my blog, and I intend to stay here. *Grins* Yeah, I'm going to pretend I didn't just do a little dance to that.
DeleteYou're very welcome! I was happy to feature you. :D
I did notice EJ's cover last month. Very cool! I see he noticed!
ReplyDeleteHe sure did! Thanks for stopping by, Sherry. :)
DeleteWow. Sounds like quite the book. And that cover is deep. The more you look at it, the more sinister it gets.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Donna! It does seem to gain depth the more you stare at it. :)
DeleteIf you haven't read it, you're missing a good story. ;)
ReplyDeleteI will soon! :D
DeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteLove to read the author's post when they find their books listed.
E J -- awesome!
Isn't that a great moment? I love the joy we share in this community. :D
DeleteOh yes, I've seen EJ's book all over the place!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! :)
DeleteI've never seen this one. What a great cover. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly stands out, doesn't it? :)
DeleteYay, EJ!!! Great notice. I'm so happy for him. Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for him, too. :) No, problem, Ciara. Thank you for hosting!
DeleteVery cool cover. Sounds like an intense read, too!
ReplyDeleteIt really does! I can't wait to read it. :)
DeleteI have heard of this book around the blogosphere before so the title is definitely familiar to me. Not my type of read, though. Very cool cover!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Livia! :)
DeleteI did! His book got a lot of attention. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! :)
DeleteI came across this book when it was being released. It looks a little different now. Dunno why. Cool though.
ReplyDeleteI think it's one of those images you could see a dozen times and still see new details the next time you look at it. :)
DeleteI loved this cover when it was released and the blurb is quite interesting. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael! :)
Deletegreat scary story! even the cover frightens me!
ReplyDelete2nd mention i've seen!
I'm glad EJ is getting the attention he rightly deserves. :D
DeleteOoo, I've NEVER seen this. (So I guess this confirms I am actually living under a rock... bummer)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting about this my dear!
Then the blogfest was a success! :) No problem, Kelley!
DeleteEeeeee!!!!! EJ rocks! And I've read his stuff and he is uber talented. Fantastic highlight, Carrie! ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, he does! :D Thanks, Morgan!
DeleteThis is so great to see EJ's book here. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's great to see you here, Lynda! :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYay! EJ found your post!
ReplyDeleteYeah! :) This was a fun blogfest!
DeleteThat's a fun idea! Cool sounding book, too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I really enjoyed this blogfest. :D
DeleteOne day I too will have a book listed. Awesome book.
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah! I look forward to that day. :D
DeleteIt's a striking cover. I've seen it around too and I want to read this! I get totally absorbed just in EJ's blog posts, so I'm sure his writing is incredible.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Nick! :) Thanks for stopping by!
