DAUGHTER OF CHAOS Cover Reveal + GIVEAWAY!!!

And the insane cover revealage for Team Valentines continues for yet another week...

What's up, blog-reader-people? Paula here. Today I am privileged to reveal the cover for Jen McConnel's DAUGHTER OF CHAOS. Here's more about the book from Goodreads:

Witches must choose the path they will follow, and Darlena Agara is no exception. She’s been putting it off long enough, and in her case, ignoring it has not made it go away. In a moment of frustration, Darlena chooses to follow Red Magic, figuring she had outsmarted the powers that be, since there’s no such thing as Red Magic. But alas, Darlena’s wrong (again) and she becomes a newly declared Red Witch.

Her friends are shocked and her parents horrified by the choice Darlena has made. As a Red Witch, she now governs one third of the world’s chaos. She is the walking personification of pandemonium, turmoil, and bedlam, just as the patrons of Red Magic would have it to be.

But Darlena believes there must be more to Red Magic than chaos and destruction, and she sets out on a journey to achieve balance. Only doing so puts her at odds with the dark goddess Hecate, who simply will not allow Darlena to quit. She encourages Darlena to embrace who and what she is and to leave good magic to the good witches. If only Darlena could, life would be simple, and she would not be the Daughter of Chaos.

DAUGHTER OF CHAOS is the first in a YA paranormal trilogy.

Awesome title, and synopsis, right? You know, if you saw my workspace you might think that I am also the walking personification of pandemonium, turmoil, and bedlam. Sadly, I do not have any cool powers. Even more sadly, I have not read this book yet. But after awesome cover reveals comes awesome ARCs, so maybe someday soon I will get to pet it and tell it how pretty it is.

Just how pretty is it, you ask?

Well...
