Cover Theme - The Girl in a Black Dress

Spot the difference?

Lady in Red(Head) - Cover Theme

At the ATOM bloggers party last night we were all given a copy of Night School and met the author C J Daugherty. Her book will be out in January. The cover model is very striking and is also the photographer and has appeared on a couple of other recent YA book covers (updated with a fourth cover 28.11.11):

The Face Behind - Cover Theme

I spotted this cover for China Lake (2008) yesterday as I was adding a review of another book by Meg Gardiner over on Euro Crime. Both books are published by Hodder.

Horizontal Hair - Cover Theme

I was working on the 'published in July' list when I saw the top two and they reminded me of Impossible. Any more suggestions for this theme?

Don't Cry - Cover Theme

I'm really looking forward to Hear the Dead Cry by Charlie Price which is out in a few days:

The cemetery I know best is Forest Grove. I spend most of my time there. That's where most of my friends are ...The ones my age and the children, they almost all need someone to talk to. They weren't ready. They'll tell you that. Murray doesn't have many friends at school. A quiet loner with a troubled family life, he spends all his time down at Forest Grove cemetery, speaking to the dead and listening to their stories. When he hears a terrified new voice pleading for help, Murray is convinced it is Nikki, a popular young cheerleader who went missing over a month ago - but who will believe him? And where is the body? Together with Pearl, the daughter of the cemetery groundskeeper, Murray must struggle to uncover the truth in a town full of secrets.

The cover does bear a certain similarity to Captivate by Carrie Jones:

Dark Hearted - cover theme

Here are three titles published in 2010 with a similar style cover, but with very different story ideas. I'm looking forward to reading them all.

Update: Just added the next Carrie Ryan, published in 2011. (I cannot get them to line up properly!)

Twilighting the Classics

I know the Twilight-style rejacketed Wuthering Heights has been around a while but I hadn't seen these two more recent covers of Jane Eyre and Tess of the Durbervilles until today (in Tesco's Dark Romance section with BOGOF offer):

The Eyes Have It (cover theme)

Darke Academy and The Glittering Eye are out now and Angels Lie is out in October.
