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’m really excited about by a favourite author.  This is a book that isn’t released yet but Ioved the covers when I saw them and so wanted to share.  The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. Here are the covers:

My favourite this week:

I actually can’t choose a favourite this week because I really like both. The dark cover with the red skull really appeals to me, it’s very ominous and the lit candles really pop.  But, the lighter elements to the first cover make it much easier to spot extra little details that disappear into the darkness a little with the second. So, I’m undecided, both covers would definitely grab my attention without any doubt.

Which is your favourite?

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