Hi Readers! A cover is the first glimpse of a book. Sometimes they are eye-catching and make you want to immediately want to open a book and take a peek inside. Sometimes, a cover has nothing to do with the content or it ignores what the author has created inside. This week, we bloggers at BCT are sharing another COVER TALK. We have each picked a cover, but left out the title and author and we won't reveal our pick on our blog, you will get the answer on another members blog. My pick will be found on Ann's blog @ Romancing the Readers. I am revealing Cyndi's cover, and Cyndi (@Born to Read Books ) has Ann's cover info. I hope you will have fun and play along. Don't forget to tell us your guess before you visit the answering blog!
My Pick
For centuries they’ve lived in secret among northern England’s green and misted hills. Creatures of extraordinary beauty, power, and sensuality, they possess the ability to shape-shift from human to dragon and back again. Now their secret—and their survival—is threatened by a temptation that will break every boundary.
I always loved the cover of this book, mine is the hardcover version and the picture doesn't do it justice. Can you guess the title?
Now look below and see if you guessed correctly the title and author for Cyndi's cover pick!

ABOUT THE BOOK
:
Such wonderful children. Such a beautiful mother. Such a lovely house. Such endless terror!
It wasn't that she didn't love her children. She did. But there was a fortune at stake--a fortune that would assure their later happiness if she could keep the children a secret from her dying father.
So she and her mother hid her darlings away in an unused attic.
Just for a little while.
But the brutal days swelled into agonizing years. Now Cathy, Chris, and the twins wait in their cramped and helpless world, stirred by adult dreams, adult desires, served a meager sustenance by an angry, superstitious grandmother who knows that the Devil works in dark and devious ways. Sometimes he sends children to do his work--children who--one by one--must be destroyed....
'Way upstairs there are
four secrets hidden.
Blond, beautiful, innocent
struggling to stay alive....
