Hi, YABCers!
Today we’re super excited to celebrate the cover reveal for EMERGE: THE JUDGEMENT (Emerge, Book 2), releasing December 15, 2016 from Midnight Hour Studio. Before we get to the cover, here’s a note from Melissa:
Hello YABCers!
I’m thrilled to reveal my cover for Emerge: The Judgment (Emerge book 2). When I approached my designer for Emerge: The Awakening and the prequel, Emerge: The Edge (book 1.5) I knew exactly what I wanted. I had all the pieces and parts and a vague idea of a color explosion for the backgrounds. My designer, Zoe Sthorm ran with my ideas and created something spectacular––so spectacular, the cover for The Awakening is a finalist in the 2016 RONE awards (fingers crossed for the winner announcement in October!)
So when it was time to get crackin’ on the cover for The Judgment, back to Zoe I went––without a plan. I really didn’t have a clue what this cover would look like, and it was a rather painful process since Zoe speaks Russian and a teaspoon of English … and I only know the word for “no.”
But she is awesome and with some trial and error, plus a little bit of Google translator, we arrived at what I think is the best cover yet. Everything about the title and the cover art really sets the mood for this book. I hope you love it as much as I do.
~Melissa A. Craven (EMERGE: THE JUDGEMENT, Midnight Hour Studio)

EMERGE: THE JUDGEMENT (EMERGE BOOK 2)
The prophecy’s about you, Red…
Allie Carmichael has been haunted by those words for months. After dropping a huge bombshell and then leaving her in limbo, Greggory McBrien still hasn’t given her the answers she craves. The knowledge of her past and the absence of both Gregg and her father have left Allie an angry, twisted mess of emotions. She still feels an immeasurable amount of guilt for her mistakes that left her scarred for life and her friend, Quinn a captive of the Coalition. Allie finds herself constantly dancing on the edge of losing control of her power, too afraid to confide in anyone––even her handsome and broody best friend, Aidan.
A chance encounter at a dangerous nightclub reserved for Unproven Immortals only, gives Allie and her friends the missing piece of the puzzle. If they have any hope of bringing Quinn home, they have to act quickly.
As Allie approaches her seventeenth birthday, the nightmares that only Aidan can keep at bay, return with a vengeance and she vows to finally face them on her own. But she struggles to understand what her clairvoyant gift is trying to tell her. When she finally begins to fully understand her gift, she fears it might be too late––and this time the price for her mistakes might be too high.
Last time she was afraid. This time she’s angry.
About the Author
Melissa A. Craven was born near Atlanta, Georgia, but moved to Cleveland, Ohio at the age of seventeen. She still thinks of Cleveland as home, so it was only natural for Emerge to take place there.
Today, she is back in Atlanta—for some reason she can’t seem to stay away from the ungodly heat that makes her long for things like “lake effect snow” and wind that will knock you flat.
Melissa decided a long time ago that the “life checklist” everyone else was clutching so tightly in their fists, just wasn’t for her. She does everything backwards because she’s weird like that.
She is an avid student of art and design, and received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of West Georgia in 2009. She worked as an interior designer for several years, but has always thought she might like to be a writer when she grows up. In her spare time, if she has any, she enjoys shopping for derelict furniture she refinishes to exercise the interior design part of her brain.
