This one is straight-up beauteous.
I’m loving this one, too, but I’d love it even more if it didn’t have the out-of-place Alice-profile in the top left corner and the pocket watch in the crook of Dollface’s leg. Photoshop much?

I love it. I haven’t read any of these books, but this looks straight out of Disney.
|
|
|
Not my favorite. I typically love covers by this artist, but the steampunk goggles look random in this mostly fantasy-looking cover.
|
|
|
CREEPtastic. *shudders*
|
|
|
This one is also very cool. I have this thing for guys in suits with big guns (and that looks like some kind of assault rifle). I’d never heard of this series, but the cover + “Hilarious and action-packed” = on my wishlist.

This is my favorite kind of fantasy cover. Simple. No excess skin. AND a woman with a sword is the focal point. Awesome.
|
|
|
Also awesome. I’m loving the retro movie poster-looking covers that seem to be everywhere right now.
|
|
|
This is a different type of whimsical than the alternate UPROOTED cover, but whimsy, I like it.
|
|
|
Like I said, retro movie-looking poster covers . . . everywhere. You should see some of the options I chose not to use.

|
|
Meh.
|
|
|
Meh with a side of cheese. What’s with the biggest authors getting the worst covers? Do the marketers figure the name is enough to sell the book, so who the hell cares what it looks like? I suwannee . . .

See this is what happens: I see a cover that gives the impression of something I like (this time something sci-fi/alien), then I see the endorsement (or comparison) by an author I like, then without even reading the blurb or looking to see what it’s actually about, onto the wishlist it goes. *sighs*

This one straight-up rocks my socks off. BUT. It’s giving me a YA-dystopian feel, so even though this might be my favorite cover from this batch, it’s not going to stay on my radar. Works both ways, LOL.

What about you guys? What do you think? Favorites, least favorite, etc.?
My name is Jessica and I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I’m trying my hand at writing, but mostly I read. My favorite genres are Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Science Fiction, Urban Fantasy, and the YA versions of those genres, but if there is a book of a different color getting lots of buzz, I’ll read it too, just to be informed. If I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably on Goodreads or Pinterest or baking blueberry pies because I love them.
SO MANY GORGEOUS COVERSSSS!! And I’m very much angry at you because I had missed many of those and now I’m adding them to the GR TBR list and wish list and dammit I’m on a book buying ban here Jessica!! *shakes fist*

I really like the Black Heart one. Not only is it a woman holding a sword, she’s wearing actual armor that will keep her from becoming a mangled corpse, instead of something that gives her fabulous cleavage that’s an open invitation to strike her right in the heart. Fabulous.

Oh I like Wendy Darling’s cover! I was kinda hoping it’s not another retelling of you-know-what, but no such luck. I also like Ghosts of Karnak. Lovely.

Everything appeals to me. But Wendy Darling and Shades of Doom really stands out for me. IDK if I’m gonna give Wendy Darling a try though. I hated that fictional character ever since I read Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson. Also, I checked the blurb and it has a love triangle 😛 Great batch!!

The term beauteous is new to me * the more you know *
Sweap in peace ( I really need to read their novels ) ,black heart , kill Baxter and the mirror and Goliath are my favorite covers of this batch.
Great post ^_^
Kill Baxter does have a really cool cover, but I also love The Singular and Extraordinary Tale of Mirror and Goliath (plus, the summary sounds pretty good too).

Oh yeah, I’m loving the Wendy Darling cover. But agree about the out of place profile behind the W. And yay for a lovely Andrews cover.

I need the Geomancer!

Oooo Alive is definitely my favorite of this group too! Followed very closely by Kill Baxter – I love that it took me a minute to see all the animals in the splatters on his left side. And I had no idea there was going to be another Gareth and Adele novel! YAY! I love that series:)
I think my favorite is Wendy Darling’s cover, there is just something about it.
Thanks for sharing these!

Sweep in Peace is definitely a must for me. I’m glad we have a cover 🙂

Black Heart is my fave although that Sadako-like chick is creepy. *shudders*
With a very few exceptions, these books are going on my tbr just because of the covers. This is supposed to be helping how??? I didn’t notice the silhouette or pocket watch in Wendy Darling on first glance. 🙂 I really like Daughters Unto Devils. Gah! I might have to make a shelf just for this feature, Jessica! 😉

It’s amazing that you can keep your objectivity and dish out yay-s and nay-s so easily. I see book covers and my IQ drops fifty points, lol. Poof! And all I know it that I want them all. Great post!

There are some great covers here and I agree, some real Meh ones. My favorite out of this bunch is probably Daughters Unto Devils. That picture really says a lot.

Look! The Andrews got a good one!! Whoop! I just love the cover for Alive and I agree ita giving off that YA dystopian feel – which I actually love, so I’m adding it to my wish list 🙂
