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 is on my shelf waiting to be read.  I love the sound of this one – it gives me Bluebeard vibes reading the description but I have no idea if that’s the case.  Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou.  This is a debut novel but there are two very different covers.  Check them out:

I’m guessing the first is going for a fairytale look with that shiny cherry – but, ahem, dripping with blood!  The second is very sinister isn’t it!  I really don’t know how to choose between the two.  I think simply because it’s so unusual my favourite this week:

Have you read this book already?  What did you think and which is your favourite?

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