Today I’m returning to the  Friday Face Off, originally created by Books by Proxy).  I’ve missed these for the past few months and so would like to get back to comparing covers (and hopefully I will be updating this page with a new banner.  This is an opportunity to look at a book of your choice and shine the spotlight on the covers.  Of course this only works for those books that have alternative covers (although sometimes I use this to look at a series of books to choose a favourite). . So, if you have a book that has alternative covers, highlight them and choose your favourite.  If you’re taking part it would be great if you leave a link so I can take a look at what you’ve chosen.

This week I’ve chosen a book that I’ve just literally read and reviewed (and loved I might add).  Murder Road by Simone St James.  Here are the covers:

Well, I like both of these.  The first very dark and the lights shining along the road.  The second has a somewhat more sinister feel to it with the lonely character.

My favourite:  I really like the second cover, you can just tell the book is going to be creepy, but if you really look at it it looks more like the figure is walking in the forest, which actually I do understand, but I think the road and the lights seems more fitting given the story, plus I like the dramatic impact of the colours.

Which is your favourite?

Join me next week in highlighting one of your reads with different covers.
