Hello
and welcome to Cover Wars where covers battle it out in hopes of knowing which
one is the best face for the books you love. Right now we have a winner in our
hands that has been trying to scream it to the world so let’s go ahead and
reveal the winner for The Scarlet Dagger by Krystle Jones.
The
winner is…
The Bad Ass Cover!!!
Now
that we’ve all basked on the winning cover’s glory it is time to move into this
week’s contestant Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan, the first book in the The
Lynburn Legacy series. For those of you that don’t really recall this book here
you have the book blurb darlings:
Kami
Glass loves someone she’s never met . . . a boy she’s talked to in her head
ever since she was born. She wasn’t silent about her imaginary friend during
her childhood, and is thus a bit of an outsider in her sleepy English town of
Sorry-in-the-Vale. Still, Kami hasn’t suffered too much from not fitting in.
She has a best friend, runs the school newspaper, and is only occasionally
caught talking to herself. Her life is in order, just the way she likes it,
despite the voice in her head.
But all
that changes when the Lynburns return.
The
Lynburn family has owned the spectacular and sinister manor that overlooks
Sorry-in-the-Vale for centuries. The mysterious twin sisters who abandoned
their ancestral home a generation ago are back, along with their teenage sons,
Jared and Ash, one of whom is eerily familiar to Kami. Kami is not one to shy
away from the unknown—in fact, she’s determined to find answers for all the
questions Sorry-in-the-Vale is suddenly posing. Who is responsible for the
bloody deeds in the depths of the woods? What is her own mother hiding? And now
that her imaginary friend has become a real boy, does she still love him? Does
she hate him? Can she trust him?
After reading that creepy blurb it is time to take a look at
the covers that are trying to give a face to this story. First up we have the
first cover this book ever had, the one that depicts a lot of elements that are
shown to us in the blurb yet still finding a way to keep an air of mystery to
it, here we have the red cover.
Next up we have the cover that goes more along the lines of
a typical romance novel, and that in my opinion shows more a movie teen version
of the characters (a.k.a. the people in the cover are obviously not in their
teens!!), I present to you guys the yellow cover.
Last but not least we have the black and white cover, the
cover that tries to cover the underline of creepiness that we read on the book
blurb, but doesn’t carry as much symbolisms that we see in the red cover.
Now that the covers are in the table, tell us which one is
your favorite, is there one that you are just craving to have in your
bookshelf? Or one that you think it best describes the book? Please remember to
vote and comment.
That middle cover really doesn't stir my interest at all!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Krista and when you think about putting it among other books it just doesn't stand out, it gets lost.
