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. I am
deeply sorry for my absence last week but I assure you I don’t stop posting
Cover Wars just because I get moody, that I can assure you my dearest reader.
Two weeks ago we had the Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan a dark future
where desires and rules don’t seem to mix very well, you guys have spoken and now
it’s time to see your champion! The Forest of Hands and Teeth winner is…..
Looking Through cover
Now that you’ve taken a good look at the cover people found most
visually appealing as well as a better face for the story how about we take a
look at this week’s contenders? This week we jump into the third book of an
Urban Fantasy, YA series. One that I find it to be a really smart transition
for new and future readers from this author, shall we take a look at Infamous
by Sherrilyn Kenyon the third installment of the Chronicles of Nick?
Go to school. Get good grades.
Stay out of trouble. That's the mandate for most kids. But Nick Gautier isn't
the average teenager. He's a boy with a destiny not even he fully understands.
And his first mandate is to stay alive while everyone, even his own father,
tries to kill him. He's learned to raise the dead, divination and clairvoyance,
so why is learning to drive and keep a girlfriend so hard?
But driving isn't the primary
skill he has to master. Survival is. And in order to survive, his next lesson makes
all the others pale in comparison. He is on the brink of becoming either the
greatest hero mankind has ever known - or he'll be the one who ends the world.
With enemies new and old gathering forces, he will have to call on every part
of himself to fight or he'll lose everyone he cares about. Even himself.
Now that we all know a little bit about Nick and his world (even
if it’s just a teeny tiny bit) lets jump to it and take a look at this week’s
contenders.
First we have the cover that follows the “norm” when it comes to
the covers of Chronicles of Nick, the one that lets you know “Yeah those are my
buddies but I have something unique inside”.
Then we have the cover that is trying to stand out from its fellow
covers making us doubt it’s YA roots and yet it strangely enough fits the
concept of a Sherrilyn Kenyon (at least it does in my head).
So what do you guys think about this change in the third book in
the series? A good move? A bad one? Which cover would find its way the fastest
to your bookshelf? Is there something in particular that you like from our
contenders? Let us know be it with a vote on the poll or the much appreciated comment

The second one! There are so much more emotions and I love the lighting.

I do get the lighting and how the men we see there has much more emotion then the nick on the first cover but do you think it conveys to the possible reader the idea that this book YA?
