Brasilian Blue Bloods cover! A little pixel-y, but awesome nonetheless!

Melissa de la Cruz tweeted an early version of the “Bloody Valentine” cover – which is a Blue Bloods novella that will be released early next year (more than likely in time for Valentine’s Day)!

This is an early cover of Bloody Valentine. I just saw the final cover and the only change is the blood looks better.

Blue Bloods: The Van Alen Legacy
Melissa de la Cruz

It’s Gossip Girl meets Dracula in this juicy series by Melissa de la Cruz. Young, fanged and fabulous, these Blue Bloods are caught in an epic battle for survival against the sinister Silver Bloods who wish to destroy them. But, like all stories of the Upper East Side, drama awaits as hearts are broken, dreams are crushed and someone always ends up on top of the social ladder.

This is the new book trailer for “Keys to the Repository” –which is to be released on June 29th!

Yep, that’s right! You might be able to get your hands on an early copy of “Keys to the Repository” which is due out June 29th– but you may be able to get it before that. Melissa is having another one of her awesome contest. Here are the details that she posted on her official site:

Right now we have tons of advance copies of KEYS TO THE REPOSITORY. If you would like a copy, please email your name and snail-mail address to melissadlcoffice at gmail dot com with the subject line KEYS TO THE KINGDOM. Oh yeah! I’ll put all the names in one of our fabulous Ittala bowls and my daughter will pick TEN lucky winners. Contest is open to international readers. (Why not?) But I do have one caveat, last time when we did a book giveaway, some of you guys were in college and you didn’t pick up your book and it kept getting sent back to us and my assistant kept trying to send it back to you and it just got frustrating. So if you are in college, we will only send it to your HOME ADDRESS. Oh college kids. I remember what THAT was like. “Package? What package? What time is that party again?” The contest it open until JUNE 11TH 12 MIDNIGHT PST. We will send books out the next week so you get them before publication (June 29th). But remember! You need to put in your snail-mail address. And your home address. (NO PO Boxes. NO College mailboxes.)

Good luck everyone!

Thanks to Denitsa, we have some new photos of Blue Bloods and Masquerade at the WH Smith store in London! I really, really love the UK Blue Bloods covers– more or less than the US covers, I haven’t decided yet.
