For those of you who, like me, missed this news, here is info about this book from Magie's website.
Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a painfully shy but prodigiously gifted musician. She's about to find out she's also a cloverhand—one who can see faeries. When a mysterious boy enters her ordinary suburban life, seemingly out of nowhere, Deirdre finds herself infatuated. Trouble is, the enigmatic and conflicted Luke turns out to be a gallowglass—a soulless faerie assassin—and Deirdre is meant to be his next mark. Deirdre has to decide if Luke's feelings towards her are real, or only a way to lure her deeper into the world of Faerie.
But enough of that, here are the covers! This is the UK cover.

No contest. I LOVE the UK cover. I think it's the red. So striking and very eye-catching! Very different compared to the dark cover of the US cover. Though, after some tiny reason (Amazon.co.uk), I get why the coves on the US cover.
But sorry, I prefer the UK cover.
What do you guys think? Leave a message below and let me know. Also, if you have read the book, let me know what you thought of the book (no spoilers please!).
I love the UK one - there's just no contest. In fact, I really dislike the US cover. A bit disappointed that I have the US version... Can't wait to see what they do with Ballad!
ReplyDeleteOk I am the odd one out. I prefer the green - green wins every time for me. Too much red - my eyes ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah... I'm a sucker for red, like Splendibird. There's something more edgy about the UK cover than the US. Sorry, Asamum.
