Summary:

The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it’s the start of a new life at a London boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a
series of brutal murders broke out across the city, gruesome crimes mimicking the horrific Jack the Ripper events of more than a century ago. 

Soon “Rippermania” takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was walking with her at the time, didn’t notice the mysterious man. So why can only Rory see him? And more urgently, why has Rory become his next target? In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities.

My Thoughts: I was expecting something a bit better to go along with what sounds like is going to be an amazing new series but I think this cover can grown on me. It just sort of feels like they took a few different pictures, added in a slight faded look and then slopped on the title... that's all. I know I'm probably being just a little bit harsh, but like I said, I think I can come to like it more. My favourite aspect is the ghostly guy!

6) Scott Westerfeld also revealed today on his blog the cover of Goliath, the final novel in his steampunk Leviathan series.  I haven't read the second novel Behemoth yet but I've read and reviewed the first novel Leviathan, which I really enjoyed.  

Release Date: September 20, 2011

The final book in Westerfeld's masterful trilogy that SLJ reviewed as “sure to become a classic.”
