During the week I spot different book covers that catch my eye for
one reason or another. I keep track of them all here on my weekly Eye
Candy post. Most of the books featured here I have not bothered to read
the synopsis for. Just plain old fashioned cover envy or not in some
cases. There are the occasional covers that catch the eye but not in I
want to read that book more of a oh my goodness what were they thinking.
Sweet Peril
Wendy Higgins
Oh my goodness!!! I have reverted to a hysterical teenager at the sight of this cover. Kaidan doesn't look so evil as he did on the last cover. He looks left out and my heart breaks for him already. It seems Anna is ramping it up! Ouch! I don't like the look in her eyes or the stance she is affecting. This doesn't bode well. Wowzer I am so excited for this book my goosebumps have goosebumps. April seems so very far away. This series is definitely deserving of its trilogy name. I think the wait from now until April will be SWEET TORMENT. Maybe there will be another POV from Kaidan during the wait to help tide me over. You really should take a closer look at this stellar cover.
The Grass is Always Greener
Jen Calonita
I love the fresh feel of this cover. Limes and strawberries or maybe oranges.
Hallowed
Cynthia Hand
I wasn't that big a fan of the original cover but this is eye catching. All that fun snow and a bit of bright red fiery hair.
Belladonna
Fiona Paul
Very striking pose and a fun lace veil.
Towering
Alex Flinn
I wouldn't want to comb out that hair after that windy snow storm.
Who Needs Magic?
Kathy McCullough
Great colors and a pose that seems very happy and contemplative.
Weather Witch
Shannon Delany
I had no idea this was in the making. Can't wait to find out more.
Manipulation
Jolene Perry
A bit monochromatic for my tastes but a fun pose.
Unbreakable
Elizabeth Norris
For some reason I really like the outfit that girl is wearing.
Once Upon a Nightmare
McKelle George
Fun cover art.
The Ward
Jordana Frankel
I wouldn't want to live in that city. Beautiful but very close to death.
Becoming Jolie
Monique O'Connor James
This reminds me of another cover. I love the colors and the historical background. Plus the girl looks like she will kick your butt.
Falling
Jolene Perry
They look like they are so happy and carefree, must be nice.
The Dark Shore
Kevin Emerson
I like this cover much better than the last. All that bright orange makes it appear so cheerful.
Rush
Eve Silver
This cover sort of grew on me the more I looked at it. I wonder why there is such a strong use of blue and purple all of a sudden on books covers.
A Darkness Strange and Lovely
Susan Dennard
While the dress is a stunning selection of colors it doesn't really flatter her in the right way. Looking at this cover I can't help but feel that our main character looks a bit like a harlot. Not exactly where I pictured her going with her life.
Goddess
Josephine Angelini
A bit of a disappointment to me. It just looks like some sort of hallucinogenic dream.
Elegy
Tara Hudson
Also a bit of a disappointment. It just looks so washed out.
What do you think about the covers?
Like it, love it, or could do without it?
