Cover story (or, an extra WoW)

The cover for the new Jackson Pearce book, a modernization of Hansel and Gretel has been released. You'll remember Jackson Pearce from her fantastic adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood - Sisters Red. I loved that cover and I think I love this one too, even if it's a bit creepy.

Here's the description from Gooodreads:


Twelve years ago, Gretchen, her twin sister, and her brother went looking for a witch in the forest. They found something. Maybe it was a witch, maybe a monster, they aren’t sure—they were running too fast to tell. Either way, Gretchen’s twin sister was never seen again.

Years later, after being thrown out of their house, Gretchen and Ansel find themselves in Live Oak, South Carolina, a place on the verge of becoming a ghost town. They move in with Sophia Kelly, a young and beautiful chocolatier owner who opens not only her home, but her heart to Gretchen and Ansel.

Yet the witch isn’t gone—it’s here, lurking in the forests of Live Oak, preying on Live Oak girls every year after Sophia Kelly’s infamous chocolate festival. But Gretchen is determined to stop running from witches in the forest, and start fighting back. Alongside Samuel Reynolds, a boy as quick with a gun as he is a sarcastic remark, Gretchen digs deeper into the mystery of not only what the witch is, but how it chooses its victims. Yet the further she investigates, the more she finds herself wondering who the real monster is, and if love can be as deadly as it is beautiful.


Oooh, doesn't it sound good? The cover reminds me of the Linger and Shiver covers, with the branches making pictures. What do you think?
