Blurb: My name's Bryn Mathis. I'm seventeen years old, and I live in a neighborhood outside of Orlando, Florida. I live alone because my dad died almost a year ago, along with all the other adults in the world. I'm almost out of food and the gangs of kids that roam around my town are getting more vicious by the day. 

It's time for me to leave and find another place to live … a place where I can find food and shelter … a place where they won't be able to find me. 

Alone, it might have been possible; but now I've got company. I'm worried that I don't have what it takes to get from here to my final destination. 

And I have no idea what might be waiting for me when I get

there.

What took me so freaking long to read this book?! Apocalypsis: Kahayatle was so very different than what I expected - but just that much better because of it. Elle Casey creates a world ridden with violence and horror and injects the perfect amount of belly-laughing sarcasm, wit, and romance. Her characterization is phenomenal and honest through a setting that is disturbingly realistic. Now lets dig a bit deeper.

Cover Reveal: Apocalypsis by Elle Casey

So, you all know how I love me some Elle Casey. I mean, her War of the Fae series has quickly become one of my all time favorites.


She is releasing her next novel, Apocalypsis (Book 1: Kahayatle) on June 30!

*wiggle dance*

I can't wait!

But let's get to the point...Ummm, ex-squeeze me friends but this book cover is LOVELY! This chick looks like a sexy monk getting ready to show me how much ass she can kick. I love how assassin-ish this photo is. Like she is sneaking through some crazy river in order to get close to her prey.


The double reflection in the water is super interesting too. It almost looks like she has a crown on her head with the way the water is rippling.


There is a lot to love - but my favorite part? The line of her mouth. She just looks so smug. That and the lift of her chin - awesome. 


I can't say enough good things! As soon as Ms. Casey releases a blurb, I'll add it to this post. 
So, what are your thoughts?
