Here are my top 5 covers for this weeks Cover Characteristic: moon.

5. The cover of Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie was one of the motivating factors in my getting a copy. I love the orange colouring and simple graphics along with the Halloweeny feel :)

4. Downpour by Kat Richardson is one of the best person-against-moon covers I have seen. She manages to look really bad ass, while all the detailing in the background makes her and the moon stand out even more.

3. Another holiday themed cover with Wolfsbane and Mistletoe. I love how the wolf is silhouetted against the moon and the snow and holly lend a seasonal feel.

2. Stolen by Kelley Armstrong is a really simple take on using the moon. Having the full moon shown behind bars really shows off that this is a book about the imprisonment of a werewolf in a clever way.

1. My favourite moon cover is The Accidental Human by Dakota Cassidy. I love the sketchy style to her paranormal covers, and I especially like how the moon is used to draw all of the cover elements together.

Here are my top 5 covers for this weeks Cover Characteristic: angel wings.

5. I love the cover for Archangel's Kiss as it really looks like Elena is a gargoyle at first glance. It's only later that you realise she has a gorgeous pair of wings. Elena also looks "right" for the in book descriptions.

4. I've loved the cover of Hush, Hush since I first saw it. I adore the grayscale touched with red and it is so dynamic to look at :)

 

3. Vampire Mine has some traditional white feathered angel wings. I love how her wings are curving round him, almost as a caress. Very pretty.

2. Archangels Consort is another pretty Guild Hunter cover featuring Elena. I adore this as her wings are always described as midnight touched by dawn and this cover captures that perfectly.

1. I'm slightly cheating with this pick but Daughter of Smoke and Bone has my favourite angel wings, albeit from very close up :) This is one of those books that is even more stunning in real life as the wings are irridescent and catch light beautifully.

Here are my top 5 covers for this weeks Cover Characteristic: men without shirts.

5. I really like the cover for Naked Dragon by Annette Blair because it's not just a shirtless guy. The details (like the house, the tool belt and the tattoo) are all relevant to the storyline.

4. I generally love the Guild Hunter covers but I was suprised by how much I like the cover for Archangel's Storm by Nalini Singh as I'm not generally a big fan of yellow.

3. Another yellow-but-good cover is City of Bones by Cassandra Clare which I like because it shows off the shadowhunter marks and the city skyline is very cool.

2. Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh is another cover where the details are relevant. I love the wolf silhouette especially as Hawke is the alpha of a pack of wolf shifters.

1. My favourite men without shirts cover has to be The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter. The whole series has some seriously hunky covers but I love how the guy on this manages to pull off a butterfly tattoo by looking all dark and brooding.

Here are my top 5 covers for this weeks Cover Characteristic: dresses.

5. The Kitchen Witch by Annette Blair is a really cute quirky cover. I love the roses on the dress and how simple the cover is.

4. Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake is one of my favourite books and I love how detailed the dress is on the cover...right down to the hemline dripping blood.

3. The dress on the cover of Haunting Violet by Alyxandra Harvey has a beautiful lace section across the shoulders. This is the kind of dress I would wear myself.

2. Rapture by Lauren Kate is my favourite of the Fallen series, although it is really hard to pick just one as they are all pretty. I love how the white dress contrasts with the grey background.

1. My favourite dress cover of all has to be Envy by Anna Godbersen. It is such a beautiful dress, and the overlaid detailing on the book is just gorgeous.
