It is such a gorgeous, distinctive cover, melding together
unique paranormal aspect of the world and the sizzle of the relationship
between Mad Rogan and Nevada. It's rare when the cover captures a scene from
the book exactly the way the author had imagined it. You learn to resign
yourself to it. Covers aren't meant to be a literal representation of the
narrative, but BURN FOR ME is. It actually shows a pivotal
scene, especially when combined with the aerial view splashback. If you
read the book, you'll know exactly what I mean. When I got the cover file, I
sent it to a friend. She emailed back in minutes. The email said,
"Who did you sacrifice to Cover Gods to get this?"
—Ilona Andrews on her reaction to
the cover for BURN FOR ME
BURN FOR ME is a slight departure from Ilona
Andrews’ other bestselling urban fantasy series. There’s still the trademark
snappy dialogue/narrative and action-packed scenes, but there’s a stronger
romance thread here that we wanted to get across right away with this
cover. Our hero Rogan is not just hot and sexy, but he’s powerful.
Like kill-you-with-a-stare powerful. And Nevada is just as strong, only
she doesn’t realize her full potential yet. So I wanted to show off our
couple, have that intimacy between them and not lose any kickass-ness (I know,
not a real word, sorry). The background with the exploding buildings
around them…the idea was Ilona’s and the execution is just exquisite.
