The VA series covers are the worst ever.

I'm cool with swapping the Taken cover to another book though. So glad I DNFed that boring book that apparently got ragey later.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-86861952940563391412013-11-13T22:05:01.433+00:002013-11-13T22:05:01.433+00:00I like the cover for Poison Princess, too but this...I like the cover for Poison Princess, too but this one just sucks! What is with the guy's expression? Ew.<br /><br />Storm? Origin? Ugly and uglier.<br /> <br />I never noticed that about Tempest Rising, silly me and what a silly mermaid. I really hope she doesn't have legs on there because that'd be weird.<br /><br />I hate the covers for VA and Bloodlines. The red ones are so pretty but these, mehhh. <br /><br />I never understood the cover for Jerri Smith-Ready's series. They're pointless.Sanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297915931078500505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-52971243969241195742013-11-13T00:38:10.870+00:002013-11-13T00:38:10.870+00:00Lmao at tempest rising.

The guy and the girl creeps me out. And hey, Spike is definitely hotter than that guy. :P<br />I can't stand to look at Origin's cover. The background and Pepe is badly photoshopped together. You have a point with the whole clothes thing. I can't help but wonder if they photoshopped his six-pack when I look at it.Kelly https://www.blogger.com/profile/16309188388542940162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-14363716225219650072013-11-12T19:57:31.244+00:002013-11-12T19:57:31.244+00:00Tempest Rising: haha, that is an excellent point. ...Tempest Rising: haha, that is an excellent point.

Those two series deserve better. WHY THE BAD PHOTOSHOP? The cover designers/publishers should know better! <br /><br />I hate covers with models too. When I look at it, I cringe because most of the time, the people on the cover look nothing like the characters. ALSO, the models on the Elemental series covers do not look like they are related to me.
