I am happy to say that I haven't read most of these. But I did **start** Fallen and Rumors... drawn in by the lovely lure of their covers... and tossed them aside pretty early on. But being drawn in by the covers hasn't always turned out so badly for me. I was drawn to

by the cover, and holy crap I loved that book.

I loved Sunshine too! It's one of those books that people either seem to love or hate - I for one was only upset that she will never write a sequel.

I like that cover that you posted better than the recent reprint too:

Would I be wildly in the minority if I voted to add Fragile Eternity to the list? It is a pretty cover...

Fragile Eternity (Wicked Lovely, #3) by Melissa Marr

... but it killed the Wicked Lovely series for me. By the end, I loathed - literally - all the characters. I can't read a book when I find myself chanting "Die, die, die" while reading about the protagonists.

But Sunshine was great. And I agree, I am sad there won't be a sequel. Ah well.

I usually like me some Kelley Armstrong, but I thought she dumbed down her YA series. I know she can write much better than that & just cause your marketing for teens doesn't mean you have to feed them crap. They're not stupid(for the most part). I feel the same way about Kim Armstrong's YA series. Some authors just can't make a great transition from PNR/UF to YA. I liked Gena Showalter's debut YA series though so maybe there's hope.

Swoon by Nina Malkin & Hush, Hush are probs the two biggest examples of me judging a book by their awesome covers/blurbs, only to reel back in horror at the writing... Eugh. :L

I loved Shiver, and Brightly Woven, but HATED The Summoning with a passion. I just can't connect with Armstrong's stories, she leaves me cold every time.

But I completely agree on the Wicked Lovely front - the first two were pretty good, but the latest books have made me hate everything about the series - it's all so doom and gloom. Honestly, I'm expecting a meteor to hit them all and wipe out man and fey kind in the last one, it's that depressing...

I haven't read the latest book in the Wicked Lovely series yet (is still being ordered at the library) but I do agree that Fragile Eternity was crap. I hate what they did to Seth & I've never liked that whole Aislinn/Seth/Keenan love triangle.

AH, it's ok that you didn't like Fire. It's about what all of us thought were crap books hidden by beautiful covers. You don't have to follow the crowd.

I say, if you thought the book was awful, add it. Like Shannon said, it's your opinion. And I think it has a beautiful cover (but I liked this book, but not because it's well written, because it's not. I NEED to write a review to explain why I like this book but I'm not feeling particularly motivated to do so).

That cover actually really reminds me of Tori Amos's CD, From the Choirgirl Hotel:

I never made the connection but, yeah, the girl on the cover looks a little like Tori.

You know, I'm not a huge fan of lily-white skin and red hair, but I think the girl on the cover is pretty in an unusual way. She has piercing blue eyes and that really beautiful shade of red hair, the sort that hardly anyone is lucky enough to have naturally. Also, I think the cover is just artsy looking. *shrugs*

But yeah, it wasn't written well. So I don't blame others for not liking it.

I liked Wicked Lovely, but the series collapsed for me in book 3 (Fragile Eternity). Book 2 was alright, but it was really its own thing - sort of a spin-off, following some of the secondary characters from the first book.

And I also liked A Great and Terrible Beauty - I thought it made a good start to a potentially solid series - but book 2 (Rebel Angels) ended up being so bad (really convoluted, iirc) that I never bothered to pick up book 3 (The Sweet Far Thing). Alas.
