We see so many crowded covers every day that this one stands out. <br /><br />I just had a little creepy moment there, because I hadn't noticed the wolf in the back. When I did see him for a second it looked like he was coming at me.<br /><br />Your cover posts are great ^^Celinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565673201893791906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-46647032631592416192011-01-11T20:26:47.769-05:002011-01-11T20:26:47.769-05:00Tawni, Me too!

I love it when I can tell books in a series go together based on their cover art. <br /><br />Laura, Yes, I like this one the best because it really relates to the cold, which plays a very important part in the story. Thank you for the award!<br /><br />Braiden, Haha, aw poor dirty book! Those little smudges show up so clearly too. :(<br /><br />Shannon, It’s funny how the UK ones are similar, but so different. I wonder why one country chose to go with dark colors and the other chose light colors. Thank you for the award!<br /><br />Linds, I didn’t like the book, but it seems I’m in the minority, so definitely give it a shot! If you liked Twilight you should like this one. They have a similar romance, I think. <br /><br />Pixie, Thank you, I agree.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-52328409110744697302011-01-10T19:27:07.414-05:002011-01-10T19:27:07.414-05:00Great choice, The Wolves of Mercy Falls Covers are...Great choice, The Wolves of Mercy Falls Covers are so pretty and telling.Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478375557048271104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-69193991817040991942011-01-10T16:12:08.242-05:002011-01-10T16:12:08.242-05:00I have yet to read Shiver, but I will that positiv...I have yet to read Shiver, but I will that positive blogger reviews as well as the pretty cover made me buy it :) It <i>does</i> convey a certain ambiance, doesn't it?<br /><br />-Linds, <a href="http://bibliophilebrouhaha.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">bibliophile brouhaha</a>bibliophile brouhahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135625757196944536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-56561114762493194722011-01-10T15:59:43.348-05:002011-01-10T15:59:43.348-05:00Oops, I forgot to mention that I gave you the Styl...Oops, I forgot to mention that I gave you the Stylish Blogger Award!Shannon The Bookstalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16905887015241289646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-38639756281151522572011-01-10T15:58:34.244-05:002011-01-10T15:58:34.244-05:00I love this books, sorry to hear you didn't li...I love this books, sorry to hear you didn't like Shiver.

I think the blue works really well with the cold theme, but the other colors don't evoke the same atmospheric feeling. Their figures (the girl, the wolf) are also a lot more obvious in the sequels, and I prefer the wolf being more hidden like in the first book. <br /><br />Jenny, Thank you! My eyes go straight to that red dot, too. <br /><br />Aylee, Yes, I know what you mean. I couldn't pin point it, but you're right, there is a very lonely vibe from this cover.

I honestly didn't even see the wolf until you pointed it out, my eye tends to go straight to the spot of blood that dots the "i" in Shiver. I also love the contrast between the branches with all the leaves at the top, and the stark, empty branches at the bottom that surround the wolf. Keep these covers coming, I love this segment:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-38160417466434406032011-01-10T10:26:29.027-05:002011-01-10T10:26:29.027-05:00I really like the cover for Shiver, but I didn'...I really like the cover for Shiver, but I didn't like Linger, and I'm not a fan of Forever...weird, right?
