My choices this week are both ones that come out this month.
A Temptation of Angels by Michelle Zink
To be published 20th March 2012 (US Release) by Dial Books
When her parents are murdered before her eyes, sixteen-year-old Helen Cartwright finds herself launched into an underground London where a mysterious organization called the Dictata controls the balance of good and evil. Helen learns that she is one of three remaining angelic descendants charged with protecting the world’s past, present, and future. Unbeknownst to her, she has been trained her whole life to accept this responsibility. Now, as she finds herself torn between the angelic brothers protecting her and the devastatingly handsome childhood friend who wants to destroy her, she must prepare to be brave, to be hunted, and above all to be strong, because temptation will be hard to resist, even for an angel.

Bewitching by Alex Flinn
To be published 14th March 2012 by HarperTeen
Bewitching can be a beast. . . . Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn’t. I go to a new school now—one where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. I’m not still here because I’m stupid; I just don’t age. You see, I’m immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years—except for when to take my powers and butt out. I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. And that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I don’t even want to think about it. Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn’t get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I think I have just the thing to fix that girl—and it isn’t an enchanted pumpkin. Although you never know what will happen when I start . . . bewitching.

I like the look of Zink's book and sometimes that is all I need ;)
Both those covers are goregeous! :) I'm loving the dress on the Bewitching cover.
I just got Bewitched from the library, it sounds like it's going to be good. Added the other one, Temptation of Angels to my wishlist, thanks for mentioning it!
They both look really interesting and just pretty covers!
Here's my wishlist for this week: http://lostinthought-becca.blogspot.com/2012/03/on-my-wishlist-3.html
Nice picks :) The Zink novel cover model looks like Scarlett Johanssen, don't you think?
Gorgeous covers. I have seen them both out there on various blogs. I think I need to add them to my list as well.
