Novel Ink: Cover Adoration | Before & After Edition

Cover Adoration | Before & After Edition

Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 4:00 AM

Today I thought I would share some covers that have changed and give my opinions on whether or not that was a good thing. I would love to hear your opinions on the changes as well so be sure to leave them in the comments!

Gated by Amy Christine Parker

My Pick: I read this book last year and loved it but I wasn't sold on the cover (left). I just saw the other day that it was getting redesigned and I have to say that I like the new cover (right) so much better.

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

My Pick: I actually like the original cover (left) better, I really like the whole shimmery look to it.

The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff

My Pick: I haven't read this book before so I don't know if the newer cover (right) is more fitting for the story but I would be more likely to buy if I came across the older edition (left). I'm a sucker for creepy books and the older cover fits the bill.

Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood

My Pick: I really like the older cover (left), it stands out more, well at least it does to me.

Which ones are your favorites?

I think one of the biggest disappointments in cover changes for me would have to be Born Wicked. I LOVE the original cover, so I'm definitely happy that I own a copy but I won't be buying the rest of the books in hardcopy ... I actually really dislike the new covers, so generic! I'll just borrow them from the library or ebook :(

All of the older covers are better! Well, with Gated they're both just okay. The original Born WIcked and The Replacement covers were gorgeous and I'm sad they changed them.

I think I like the new Gated cover better, but I definitely like the old Born Wicked cover better.

I like that you are comparing book covers... that's fun!! I am SO not cool with The Replacement change. They took it from super creepy to blah!!! That new one looks like a cheesy vampire book. And I love the original cover of Born Wicked!! Some books you just get so used to the cover that when they change it, it feels just wrong!! Like Hysteria by Megan Miranda. Why would they change that when it is SO awesome??
