Hi SErs. Harmony here. Today, I’d like to share one of the most awesome trilogies I’ve read in a while, The Passage Series by Justin Cronin. Those of you who follow blog will have seen the 5-star reviews I gave to each book. Though each book is a long one, I found myself enjoying the read so much that I sped through the pages. Here are the covers, the book blurbs, and purchase links:
Amy Harper Bellafonte is six years old and her mother thinks she’s the most important person in the whole world.
She is.
Anthony Carter doesn’t think he could ever be in a worse place than Death Row.
He’s wrong.
FBI agent Brad Wolgast thinks something beyond imagination is coming.
It is.
THE TWELVE
Death-row prisoners with nightmare pasts and no future.
THE TWELVE
Until they were selected for a secret experiment.
THE TWELVE
To create something more than human.
THE TWELVE
Now they are the future and humanity’s worst nightmare has begun.
THE TWELVE
The epic sequel to
THE PASSAGE
In life I was a scientist called Fanning.
Then, in a jungle in Bolivia, I died.
I died, and then I was brought back to life…
Prompted by a voice that lives in her blood, the fearsome warrior known as Alicia of Blades is drawn towards to one of the great cities of The Time Before. The ruined city of New York. Ruined but not empty. For this is the final refuge of Zero, the first and last of The Twelve. The one who must be destroyed if mankind is to have a future.
What she finds is not what she’s expecting.
A journey into the past.
To find out how it all began.
And an opponent at once deadlier and more human than she could ever have imagined.
And for any of you interested, you can find my book reviews here:
The Passage | The Twelve | The City of Mirrors.
The black and white covers appeal to me. Often, B&W brings more definition to an image. What do you think?

I loved this series (I have different covers, but these are gorgeous) and was so disappointed when the TV show was cancelled. I thought they did a great job with the adaptation.

I’m a huge fan of black and white covers. (Maybe that makes me old, but I like to think it makes me discerning. LOL)
I haven’t read these books, but I watched the series and was so disappointed when it was canceled. Great share, Harmony.

I was disappointed too, Staci. Such a shame with a series with as good potential was this.

I love black and white photography. It’s so moody and atmospheric. I read The Lewis Trilogy by Peter May (mystery/suspense set on a remote Scottish Island). It was the moody black and white covers that initially drew me to the books. The series was superb.
I remember reading your excellent reviews of these books on your blog. Nice share, Harmony!

I think that modern covers don’t utilise the B&W medium enough. Thanks, Mae 🙂
