Hello guys and welcome to Cover Wars where covers battle it out
and ask you which one is the best face for the story they hold inside. Each
week different books come and show you all they’re faces all the covers the
world has known them about. Last week we had Infamous by Sherrilyn Kenyon where
the first known cover and the one with the twist met, and now it is time to
reveal the winner….
The Cover that Breaks the Mold
Now that the winner has had a few seconds to bask on its glory we
can move on into a more peaceful looking book, Chocolate Aftertaste by Liz
Grace Davis a romantic women's fiction
contemporary novel that if you haven’t heard then let me lead you to the book blurb darling.
contemporary novel that if you haven’t heard then let me lead you to the book blurb darling.
Nora Darkin’s life has never
been her own, but that’s about to change, and what she finds on the other side
will taste a lot like sweet freedom.
Aidan Darkin, a wealthy
entrepreneur, has controlled his daughter, Nora, since the death of his wife
years prior. Nora never thought to question the decisions he made for her,
always believing he knew best. But trust comes with a price, and for Nora, the sacrifice
is her own happiness.
On the eve of her wedding,
confronted with a truth that will change everything and a betrayal that will
fracture the life she’s always known, she will do the unthinkable—defy her
father and make her escape.
On her own for the first time,
Nora makes the quaint country town of Dreara, known for its extraordinary
chocolate, her temporary home. Faced with choosing for herself for the first
time in her life, she sets out to capture her own independence, to fall in love
for the right reasons with a man of her own choosing, and embark on a journey
that will fulfill her soul—even if that means risking it all, and losing more
than she ever imagined.
But even a place known for its
chocolate doesn’t quite offer Nora the sweet beginning she’d hoped for.
Now that we know a little bit more about the Chocolate Aftertaste
let’s get to meet the pretties!
On the right corner we have the original cover, the one showing a
woman full of confidence for someone trying to make it on her own for the first
time, a cover of grandeur and a one tone color palette.
On the left corner we have the newcomer the one of soft violets, a
sense of peace and a feeling of new begginings.
So now that you know the contestants let us know which cover
leaves you feeling with an aftertaste of chocolate and freedom? Which one is
more attractive to you and wich one you feel fits the story best. Let us know
be it by voting on the poll or leaving a comment and remember to stop by next
week to see who won!
The violet colored one is definitely my favorite cover design but I don't feel like it fits well with the "Chocolate Aftertaste" title. Why? Because chocolate is brown. In that respect, the first book cover fits the title better.
ReplyDeleteLove your header :D
ReplyDeleteI really like the never cover better, it's really simple but it works so well and I love the colors. Stephanie makes a point though, chocolate is brown so the first cover fits too. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely the newbie! It seems like more of a typical "romantic" novel and I think the original has too much of a self-published feel...though I don't know if it WAS. At any rate, sounds good.

Oh the second one for sure! The first one lacks edition that the second cover has. I haven't heard of this book though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by our blog :) I really love the title of yours, btw Ja Ĩitam, a ti? basically means I'm a reader, what about you? :))
The first one looks a bit weird, so I definitely like the second one better.
ReplyDeleteThat new cover is gorgeous...I am always a sucker for that style!
ReplyDeleteyes, there s something a little off about the first one.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kaitlin
there is something relaxing about the new cover right?
ReplyDeleteYes...it reminds me of a Kristin Hannah cover!
ReplyDeleteGreat eye. Guess what? The Kristin Hannah covers inspired it.
