Wither (The Chemical Garden, #1)
by
"Her dress is unique, expensive looking while also looking ragged. Her expression is of loneliness and hopelessness. She is the connection of the bird in the cage. It makes me want to read the back cover."

Abandon (Abandon, #1)
by
"The fact that the model's eyes are closed, that she appears to be lying on dirt, and the taglines mystical feel, lend a feeling of intrigue. It brings forth the need to know "how" and "why"?"

The Beginning of After
by
"For this cover I truly believe that they are playing on the title. It stands prominent and is super-imposed over the suggested main character. She looks to be in deep thought, contemplating what to do next. This makes you wonder "After what"?"

Watched (Mikayla Blake, Demon Hunter, #1)
by
"The burst of pastels in the upper corner contrast with the vibrant ones in the bottom corner. There is little given away about what the story entails other than that it should involve a character who is not comfortable and is perhaps looking for some form of hope."

Unearthly (Unearthly, #1)
by
"This cover uses the contrast of a beautiful gown against the setting of a forest. The lighting of the area is an otherworldly pinkish-purple. Where many cover artists seem to think that a pretty dress will sell a book, this cover uses it in a correct way: to fully demonstrate the difference between our reality and the supposed one of the book. The goal of knowing where she is going and why has you looking to reading the back."

The Goddess Test (Goddess Test, #1)
by
"The angle the cover portrays lends the ming to suggest a fall in to another world. The area behind her enhances this image by looking enough like ground to lend the eye but enough difference to be strange and mysterious. The font of the words lends towards a mixture of ancient Greek and the contemporary."

Unlovable (Port Fare, #1)
by
"Again, the main attraction is the books title. You want to know why this girl appears to be in a swamp. Why she looks so hopeless. Why she's alone. And most of all, why this pretty girl is "Unlovable"."

Illegal: A Powerful Young Adult Novel of a Mexican Girl's Desperate Journey Across the Border
by
"The minimalism of this cover helps as it lends to a feeling of starkness. The city-scape in the background, which the female is facing, lends a Wizard of Oz feeling. These combining draw a hopeful feeling that the plot may be original."

Swear (Swoon, #2)
by
"I almost passed this one by, but had to take another look. The "gate"? wasn't originally noticed, only the flower petals. Upon a second look though, The cover infers a sense of aloneness. The question begs to be ask "is the girl crying because she is locked in, or out"?"

Eona: The Last Dragoneye (Eon, #2)
by
"The entirety of the cover makes me want to find out what the story is about. There are obvious Asian influences, and the "ground" upon which the young person is standing is rather vague as to if it is even "ground"."

Sweetly (Fairytale Retellings, #2)
by
"The contrast between the books name and the image works well to gain the sought-for interest. The trees create a sinister-looking woman who, one would assume, lives in the pictured house. As there is nothing "sweet" about the imagery, interest has you reading the plot."
