The Books of 2015: Covers I Hated
Only one this year! (There were lots of meh covers, but only one terrible cover.)
It is, completely unexpectedly, for a Jeaniene Frost book. I have no idea what she did, but she totally doesn’t deserve some of the abysmal covers she gets.
This isn’t the worst cover she’s ever gotten, but it’s still pretty terrible, since the man on the cover is totally and completely unrelated to the man (vampire) described in the book.
Vlad didn’t show off his seething masculinity by wearing fewer clothes. Instead, he wore more to taunt people with what he didn’t allow them to feast their eyes on.
It’s as if the person doing the cover purposefully and willfully refuses to depict that man described between the pages.
But I suppose I should expect nothing better from Avon–who seems to want to have The Worst Covers Ever.
But I have to admit, that only a single terrible cover this year isn’t doing too badly.
