Yara's Pick:

The Marked

Delacroix Academy #2

Author: Inara Scott

Pages: 320 pgs

Reading Level: YA

Release Date: April 3rd 2012

Publisher: Hyperion Book

Available: Pre-order links will be coming soon

Summary: (from goodreads) Dancia's back at Delcroix, but this year, everything's different. Dancia's Talented, and her powers have earned her an invitation to join Delcroix's real raison d'etre --the Program. Dancia's wanted to use her powers to help people all her life -- and now Delcroix is going to give her the training she needs to use her Talent for good. At least...that’s what the school says she’ll learn to do with her powers. Her cuter-than-cute boyfriend Cam insists that it's true, and so do all the other students. But there's still a little voice inside her head that wonders -- if the Program's so great, why did her almost-only-a-friend- Jack run away rather than join? And why would the school be getting attacked by angry ex-students? Dancia's a loyal student...and a loyal girlfriend. But if finding out what's really going on means talking to Jack, well -- it's a risk she just might have to take.

If you click on Inara Scott's name above it will take you to her post where she talks about the covers and even title change of her books. I personally really like this cover, the colors grab my attention.
