Insight Jolene Perry Series: Shadows, #1 Genre: YA ParanormalPublication date: September 3rd 2012by Next Door Publishing

She feels him falling for her, but Micah doesn’t do friends, much less relationships.

Enter a spooky history project about a tragedy from three hundred years ago, and voodoo dolls that Micah somehow feels has to do with her gift.

Inspired by Book Buzzers, Book Girls Don’t Cry is a weekly feature where we each discuss/vent/advise on the chosen weekly bookish topic. Don’t miss Jenni on Mondays, and Amy on Saturdays:  

Mid-Series Cover Changes!

I am certain I’m not  the only one who noticed a trend this past year or 2–changing the cover of a series at book 2 or 3 or 4. What is UP with that?
