Books By Their Covers (3)

Books By Their Covers is a new feature here on Katie's Book Blog. It is created by me and it is a chance for me to share my love of book covers. In this feature, I will pick one book cover and give you guys my opinion of it. =)


My opinion: I didn't like this one at first but after looking at it more closely, it really is a striking cover.  The carnival scene with the ferris wheel, the boardwalk, and the mist coming off the guy all give it a creepy feel.  The font for the title adds to the creepiness.  The dark color and the fact that a guy is on the cover also make this cover very appealing, especially to guys.  This one is definitely unique for YA.

  1. Wow this is a great blog idea! I love the movement and direction that the mist and wooden planks create to point us towards the creepy buildings in the background.

  2. Oh wow! I'm glad you posted this. I never would have really noticed the scene behind it all. Carnivals are freaky, haha. Makes me really want to see what this is all about :)

  8. This cover kind of reminds me of Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies, with the blue things swirling out of him. I like the cover; looks a bit creepy.
