This week's topic is: Top Ten Covers I Wish I Could Redesign

*in no particular order

1. FIRE STUDY

by Maria V. Sndyer

I merely just wish that it could've retained how the first two original covers looked liked. I LOVED the cover model on the old ones and just wished it could've stayed the same for the final book.

2. CRIME SEEN

by Victoria Laurie

 

I love love love this series. I remember when I met Victoria I asked her about this cover and she said the publishers were trying for a different look, a more realistic one instead of the cartoony covers. Luckily, it didn't go over well and they went back to the cartoony covers, which I happen to like. Just wish they would've gone back and redo this one, but oh well!

3. HOT BLOODED

by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie

This cover just wasn't as vibrant and noticeable as the previous one. The colors are nice, but overall it just lacks the intensity of the first one which I so loved!

4. SAVAGE

by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie

I can pretty much say the same for this one too, the third book in the same series. IT just lacks something and I don't feel like it fits the series as well.

5. THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND

by Jenna Black

This final book cover in the series I felt like it just kind of deviated from how the previous books looked. I mean, why the sudden change? It was the final book and it just looked sooo different from the rest, I wished it could've matched better.

6. THE ISIS COLLAR

by Cat Adams

I was in love with the covers of this series up until book 4 when it took a dramatic change. No longer are there closeups of the heroine with a darkish background. I thought those were intense and awesome and they were so cool. These new ones are okay, but just not as intense as the old ones.

7. TEMPEST REVEALED
by Tracy Deebs

I guess I am more upset by this new cover model. She's not the same as the previous one and something bugs me about her. Of course this book is only technically available as an ebook. The REAL book's release date is constantly changing and I have no idea when it actually comes out now. Currently it stands as a February 2015 date. 

8. THE MADNESS UNDERNEATH

by Maureen Johnson

Another cover change I just wasn't thrilled with. I LOVED the hardcover cover of Name of the Star! Thought it was awesome! This new one, eh. More so I wish it could be changed back to the previous look/style.

9. THE ETERNITY CURE

by Julie Kagawa

Yet another series cover change that I wasn't thrilled with. I loved the hardcover look of The Immortal Rules. Thought it was dark and eerie and just oh so cool! This new one is okay, just not in love with it like I had been.

10. BURNED

by Karen Marie Moning

Still not 100% certain if this in fact the final cover, but I kind of miss the lack of Dani on this one. I still have to read Iced, but I saw Dani on that cover and just thought it was awesome! There was a scene or landscape on it, whichever you want to call it. This one is nice, just kind of plain.
