The blog Epic Reads often has cover reveal roundups and on February 15, they shared the cover for As I Descended by Robin Talley, who writes LGBT+ YA Fiction. I have already read and reviewed her previous releases, Lies We Tell Ourselves and What We Left Behind. I'm definitely excited for her latest, which comes out on September 6, 2016.
You can add the book on Goodreads now! I really love the cover. The blue is very striking and I like that the girl on the cover is made up of the woods. It lends a creepy, mysterious vibe to the book. I'm also a huge fan of Shakespeare, so I'm curious how much this book is Shakespeare-inspired.

As for the summary, read on: Maria Lyon and Lily Boiten are their school’s ultimate power couple—even if no one knows it but them.
Only one thing stands between them and their perfect future: campus superstar Delilah Dufrey.
Golden child Delilah is a legend at the exclusive Acheron Academy, and the presumptive winner of the distinguished Cawdor Kingsley Prize. She runs the school, and if she chose, she could blow up Maria and Lily’s whole world with a pointed look, or a carefully placed word.
But what Delilah doesn’t know is that Lily and Maria are willing to do anything—absolutely anything—to make their dreams come true. And the first step is unseating Delilah for the Kingsley Prize. The full scholarship, awarded to Maria, will lock in her attendance at Stanford―and four more years in a shared dorm room with Lily.
Maria and Lily will stop at nothing to ensure their victory—including harnessing the dark power long rumored to be present on the former plantation that houses their school.
But when feuds turn to fatalities, and madness begins to blur the distinction between what’s real and what is imagined, the girls must decide where they draw the line.
From acclaimed author Robin Talley comes a Shakespeare-inspired story of revenge and redemption, where fair is foul, and foul is fair.

It is a fab cover, very eye catching.
I really like that her silhouette is done in trees as well. That's a wonderful cover.
I am absolutely in love with that cover. Blue is my favourite colour, so I am always excited when I see that covers use blue so prominently! And the fact that the girl's image is infused with the trees is absolutely beautiful.
I'm really excited to read this one, too! I can't wait to see the author's take on on Macbeth.
What a beautiful cover, it is very dream like.
