Cover vs Cover: White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout

This week's pick is...

White Hot Kiss

 VS.    VS.

Take One                        Take Two                        Take Three

I actually already did a cover vs cover post for this book, but a new cover came out recently, so I'm doing it again! Last time I talked about how Jennifer L. Armentrout just couldn't please the covers gods. I love this book, but I absolutely hate covers 1 & 2. The only reason why I picked up the book was because I trusted Armentrout and I heard positive things about the book. Take One looks like an NA romance, which I like to avoid. I don't like kissing on covers at all. Take Two looks like an indie book in which they had no budget for a good cover. Take One won last time only because it had color. Now, I'm really glad that there's a new cover. It still isn't the best, it's kind of a generic paranormal/fantasy cover, but at least it tells the reader that this is a paranormal book and is more aesthetically pleasing!
 Final Verdict: Take Three

Cover vs Cover: Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray

This week's pick is...

Defy the Stars

VS.  

Original                        Redesign

I admit that I was a bit upset at first when the cover for this book was redesigned. I loved the Original cover. The title treatment is eye-catching and interesting and I loved the spots of bright colors! It doesn't quite say what the book is about, but it is clear that it is sci-fi. The redesign does say more clearly that the book is sci-fi and that it takes place in space, with the planets in the corner, but I missed it the many other times I saw this cover. In fact, I didn't notice the planets until now. The cover does have a vintage sci-fi vibe to it, but I don't like faces on covers of books and having different effects and images on top of the faces looks messy to me. This one is not as bad, but as the series continues with the same cover trend, I have a hard time telling what all is on the covers.
Final Verdict: Original

Cover vs Cover: Royals/Prince Charming by Rachel Hawkins

This week's pick is...

Royals/Prince Charming

VS.  

Original                        Redesign

Both say contemporary romance and both kind of tell you that there is royalty within the book. Royals makes sure that you know that the book includes royalty, but it looks a bit too fancy for what the book is really about. The book is about a girl whose sister is marrying royalty, but she wants to avoid the spotlight. Royals screams "rich girl", though, which isn't really the vibe of the book. Prince Charming is a bit more laid back. It doesn't say royalty as much, but it definitely pulls off the contemporary romance vibe and tells us more about the MC. I also like the lighter colors with the red accents and the drawn characters. I've been a fan of covers with drawn characters lately.
Final Verdict: Redesign
