Stasse, lets take look at what this book is all about so we can judge a little better the covers that come in to play.
As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet—having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up.
The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes.
Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway.

Now that we know more about Forsaken, Alenna and her fight for survival how about we take a look at the covers that are trying to give a face to this book?
First we have the first face this book has ever had, we are talking about the U.S. edition that came out in July 2012.
A couple of months latter the U.K. released it's own cover for this book, if you wish to be more exact it was in August, where they changed the concept from a more complex looking cover into a more conservative and to the point kind of cover.

After watching this beautiful covers and having an idea about what Forsaken is about which of the two contestants inspires you the most to pick it up and read it, the one that will catch your attention in the bookshelf, the one that will whisper to you "read me, you know you want to". Vote, comment or post your smoke signals letting us know which cover you liked best and why.
