Changing Covers #7

Hi everyone welcome to my new weekly feature which all about covers that change either in the middle of the series or even when the series had finished. (The covers will mainly be UK changes but also from the USA.) I decided to do this feature as there has been so many cover changes it's hard to keep up.

I am not sure if anyone has done this particular feature so feel free to let me know so I can start linking it up to them. It is similar to other features that are out there but I'm hoping that this is different enough.

 

 

 

First Published                 Second Published              New Cover                

 

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

 

With this book the first published cover was completely different to the first published paperback. I don't like when that happens it would have been better to have the same cover once in paperback like other books sometimes do. Then it is changed again but I think that that is more to do with it being a UK paperback which sometimes ours changes to other covers that are out else where.

Out of the three my favourite it the first published cover as it's stunning and definitely one of my favourite ever covers. The only thing is if I had gotten the first one the others in this series wouldn't match as they are more like the second one and the new one in the UK. I do kind of like the new cover which is the one that I have but it just doesn't have the same impact as the first one. The second one is my least favourite and does actually put me of reading the series so in this case I am glad that ours is different. I just wish they didn't mess with this series covers it wasn't necessary.

 

So that's my thoughts on this ever changing covers. What's your thoughts? Do you agree? or disagree? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Book Cover: Nightshade

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

While looking for this weeks cover to talk about I thought I would look through the books that I have actually read which is where I found Nightshade. Although I didn't like the book enough to carry on with the series I loved this cover. While looking at Goodreads I found there was so many different covers for this book but this one has to be my favourite I think it's the American hardback version (plase let me know if I'm wrong).

This cover kind of reminds me of the Wicked Lovely book cover (although if I remember rightly this book is about wolves not faieries). If I was to pick a favourite out of the two books I would actually say Nightshade is my faourite and here's me thinking Wicked Lovely was one of my favourite covers. I think the reason why I like this one more is the lighter colours as they seem more eye catching. I love the little pop of yellow in the eye as well as a pop of red too all these colours work really well together.

I love the simplicity of the title but I would have prefered it to be a bit bigger as it seems to get lost with eveerything else that is going on in the cover. I do like the trialing blood from the title as with the font being small the trial of blood amonst the purple makes the title stand out that bit more than it would have.

I actually can't remember much of this book any more as it was a while since I read it but looking at this cover makes me want to give it another try just so I can have it on my bookshelf. I'm not sure if it ties in with the actual story apart from I think the lead character's name is Calla but for the first ime I don't care I love the cover and the other versions that do tie in with the story I don't actually like.
