It's quite possible you've heard me gush about this series either on this blog or on "The Borrowed Book" (with my reviews of Windchaser, Windfall, and Watercrossing). If you haven't, let me tell you right now: this is an awesome YA series, full of adventure, drama, romance, and a plot that pulls at the heartstrings while satisfying the imagination.
Before I share the striking cover of Watermark, take a look at the covers for the first three books:
I absolutely love the colors, and I'm so grateful to have paperback copies of each - they're beautiful!
You can probably guess how Watermark looks, but knowing the pattern doesn't take away from the bright and epic feel of it. Check it out!
Isn't it striking?? I love the color combinations here - intense turquoise and shimmery gold. The swirls give a hint at the complexities and turmoil within the pages, but the direction of the fish (in a more upward slant vs. the downward slant of the one on Watercrossing) suggests that, perhaps, this ending might be more final and positive than the cliffhanger at the end of the third book. We're moving in a new direction, folks, and I am quite eager to see how this story plays out!
Now, to skim the surface...

You have me wanting to read these books so bad! I put them on my Amazon wishlist, and I think I debate on them most days! I keep telling myself to wipe out review books, and then go crazy. ;)
The covers are beautiful! I'm looking forward to reading them! :)
Thank you for participating in the reveal, Amber! I love how you picked up on the symbolism contained in the movement of the fish from Book 3 to Book 4. :) Love you!!
Ohhh, these books looks fabulous. Thanks for sharing!
These books are so well written. I loved them all. They contain enough intrigue and action for my teenage boy to enjoy and enough romance so that my teenage daughter couldn't put them down. I highly recommend them!
Bluerose,
I think you would LOVE them!! The Kindle versions are probably the cheapest, but if you want paperbacks, I think they're cheaper on Krissi's blog than on Amazon. :) There's a link to the "White Island Shoppe" at the top of her website. Just as a heads up! ;) The covers are definitely beautiful!
And yes, review books are both a blessing and sometimes a frustration... Hope you get to enjoy some "just for fun" reading soon!
