Book Cover: The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
I was SO excited to hear The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken has a cover!! You guys, this is like my most anticipated book of the year/the one I am most excited for this year! I freakin’ love Alex’s debut, Brightly Woven, so I cannot wait for this one :)
About the Book:
When Ruby wakes up on her tenth birthday, something about her has changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control.
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones.
When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents.
When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.
DOESN’T THAT SOUND AWESOME? So basically now I am going to sit here and twiddle my thumbs until December and The Darkest Minds is actually out :)
Also, Alexandra Bracken is having a contest to celebrate the cover reveal over at her blog. Also, y’all should go add The Darkest Minds on Goodreads while your waiting til December with me. Or go get Brightly Woven, because it rocks. Just sayin’
What do you guys think of the cover? Are you super excited for The Darkest Minds too?
I know you are really excited for this one but I don’t really get the cover, maybe once I read the book it will make sense. I guess it is something different than a girl in a pretty dress so it gets props for being different.

I totally get what you’re saying, Erica. I LOOOOOVED Brightly Woven something fierce. It’s just such a great fantasy book and the relationship between North/Sydelle… beautiful, stunning. I can’t wait to read The Darkest Minds!

Very cool cover. We haven’t gotten our hands on Brightly Woven yet, but hopefully we can do that before this one comes out. Does the synopsis remind anyone else of Shatter Me?

I really need to read Brightly Woven. I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about it. And I really like this cover.
