Ash
by Malinda Lo
I really like this cover. It’s so powerfully haunting –
could there be a better depiction of utter loneliness, of someone being so
completely lost as we see here? I think, especially with the stark, minimalist
title, it’s a very powerful cover.
But possibly darker than the actual book turned out
Vampire,
Interrupted (Argeneau #9) by Lynsay Sands
I am not a fan of the covers in this series. They seem to
be very generic romance covers that depict their supernatural elements via
tattoos. This makes me think far less about vampires, it makes me think Batwoman
is getting married.
Yes I do keep thinking bat-family on these covers
Chameleon
(Cage Punks #1) by Kenya Wright
I do love this one – it’s so powerful a depiction of
Cameo and just how unique and different she is. It’s also so clearly
personalised to the book which I really love. I love a book cover that clearly
has been designed just for this book; this cover couldn’t be on any other book
and I like that
Blue
Rhapsody (Require Cookie Short) by Grace McDermott
Unlike his book cover which could really have been on any
book. There is no sense of anything that’s in this book. It’s too generic – it’s
a blue swirl over a city scape; I don’t really see anything to invest in
Divine
Misfortune by A. Lee Martinez
I love this. It’s so simple but I just love it – the fist
of a deity hammering down on hapless humanity! I love it love it love and it
works so well with the title of this book.
Damn it’s so hard when I like the covers! So much less to
snark!
