Friday Face Off: The Turn by Kim Harrison (The Hollows #0.1)

FFO

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 comment/link so I can take a look at what you’ve chosen.

This week I’ve chosen a book that is one of my Backlist books and in fact the book I’m hoping to pick up next month. The Turn by Kim Harrison which is apparently #0.1 of the Hollows series. Here are the covers:

My favourite:

I went with the vibrant cover this week. The cover with the ‘eye’ gives me the heebies and the other cover doesn’t really give me a sense of anything in particular about the book. Definitely the first cover makes you think of blood!

Which is your favourite this week?

    The one with the eye makes me wince, so I don’t care for it, lol. I like the one you picked with the red dress. I hope you enjoy it😁

      Yes, that eye makes me flinch, I can’t look at it.

    Der Wandel does look horrifying! I won’t lie that it does draw my attention the most, but it also sets my expectations quite high when it comes to the horror elements hahaha

      It will be interesting to see which cover feels the most approrpriate after reading this later this month.

    Oh, I like the “The Turn” font for your favourite option! but the eye-rip is intriguing, hard to pick! 🙂

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      I think that ‘eye’ is definitely divisive – I can see why it appeals but it just makes me cringe.

    The red dress is my pick too. Best cover in the bunch for the novel.

      I haven’t read this yet but hoping to do so this month, it’s a Backlist book. The red dress cover is very vibrant – not sure how fitting it is for the story but I’ll be finding out soon.

        I haven’t read this one yet, but I’ve heard great things! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!

    We have the same favourite this time round, the red makes it stand out more and the stain leaves you curious about the globe type objects significance. I still need to start The Hollow series. I have a couple of the books but there are so many that I keep putting off starting 🙈

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      Yes, I hadn’t realised there were quite so many books tbh! What am I getting myself into.

    I think that is the most eye catching one as well, though I can’t say I love any of them!

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      Yeah, I know what you mean, none of these really blew me away tbh.
