Friday Face Off : “..the children of the night. What music they make!”
Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme created by Books by Proxy . This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite book covers. The rules are fairly simple each week, following a predetermined theme (list below) choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Future week’s themes are listed below – the list has been updated to help out those of you who like to plan ahead – if you have a cover in mind that you’re really wanting to share then feel free to leave a comment about a future suggested theme. This week’s theme:
“..the children of the night. What music they make!” – a cover with a vampire
I think there should be lots to choose from with this week’s theme. I’ve gone for a YA series that I read way back and enjoyed at the time, it was very light and fun, a bit Buffy(ish) maybe. Glass Houses (The Morganville Vampires #1) by Rachel Caine.
And the covers:
My favourite this week is the goth girl cover because it particularly suits one of the characters:
Like last week I’ve added a Mr Linky here so that you can leave a link if you wish or please leave me a link in the comments so I can visit and check out your covers. Thanks
Next week – A cover featuring a hero

I love the edition you picked, I believe I have a paperback with that cover!
Cool 😀
I’m drawn to the second one in the fourth row. Gotta love the attitude! This is also a book I have been meaning to read.
Yup, nothing like a bit of ‘tude.
