Look at the cover! Isn't it amazing? I'd initially thought it was rain or shards of shattered glass falling on the city landscape but, on closer inspection, I realised that it's actually shredded bits of rose petals being blown over the city. I can't help but wonder what this signifies...If you think the cover's gorgeous, you should red the blurb for this book. I think the premise is fascinating!
Blurb (taken from Goodreads):
"A dark and tender postapocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war
In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable—they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection, that causes Ash’s long dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too strong. When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths."
