The music.
Ominous DUN DUN DUN.
That smile at 0:18.
The flashing of images when the song kicks in.
The promise of mayhem and destruction. It feels like a trailer for Skins.
From the moment I read the first paragraph when it was a submission for a contest on Nathan Bransford's blog until now, I knew The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer was going to be a winner. I haven't read the book yet, so I hope it will surpass my admittedly high expectations.
(Side note: Imagine my happiness at finding out that TUoMD was going to be an actual book. Two years later, and that paragraph still sticks in my mind. It's amazing. Spooky, mysterious, intriguing. I could probably write a sonnet about it, BUT I WON'T.)
Also, Lisa Desrocher's LAST RITE cover. You know how all those books with the main character having a choice to save the world, only it's just the set up and all we readers care about it whether she's going to choose between the mysterious bad boy or the mysterious good boy, but they don't really phrase it like that?
There, you've got it. A book cover conveying all 80,000 to 100,000 words.
I LOVE IT.
You're welcome.
(Side note: Gabe or Luc? I'm so for Gabe. For Fran, duh. Leaves Luc free for me.)
And heyyyyy, The Iron Knight trailer. FINALLY. Hello Puck! I think that it's the same model they have as Meghan on the book covers, and I'm impressed at the consistency. Team Ash, you got the whole video for you. Team Puck, watch the whole video too, but if you're reallllly impatient, 1:10's where it's at.

The Mara Dyer trailer is so freaking awesome!!
I don't want to watch the Iron Knight trailer yet though because I'm bad and haven't read all of the series :P
I know right?! I had it on repeat the other day, though to be honest it was more for the music.
Hah! It's not really that detailed, just the basic summary and some cool graphics of hot guys. *nods*
