This week's topic is: Top Ten Books With a Weapon on the Cover

 

*in no particular order
**this topic was stemmed from a great many covers where the main focus was of a weapon of some sort...usually without a person with it!

10. BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN by Darynda Jones--a scythe; a novella cover yes, but the early ones had parts of Charley's body on the cover so I picked this one!
9. LOST BOY by Christina Henry--hook and a knife...with a severed hand.
8. REALM BREAKER by Victoria Aveyard--sword, with a hand holding it.

7. THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS by Chloe Gong--sword
6. REBEL BELLE by Rachel Hawkins--knife
5. KING OF BATTLE AND BLOOD by Scarlett St. Clair--swords

4. FROM BLOOD AND ASH by Jennifer L. Armentrout--arrow and knife
3. THE SHADOWS BETWEEN US by Tricia Levenseller--sword
2. MASTER OF IRON by Tricia Levenseller--a hammer; a lot of her covers worked for this one!

1. IN EVERY GENERATION by Kendare Blake--stake
