Occasionally, you'll come across two books with rather similar covers. Whether it's completely coincidental, a sign of trends, or a blatant case of biteritus, the question remains:
who did it better?
vs.

Have you seen any cover-twins? Comment with the titles!
I haven't read TDD yet, but I have a copy at home.
ReplyDeleteI read Bleeding Violet though, and I didn't like it at all (check my blog for review if you wonder why).
So I'll vote for TDD.
I vote for the DD cover. The BV cover seems to sexual for my taste.
ReplyDeleteLove the boxing graphic!
Love this feature :)
My blog
I have both books and my vote goes to The Dark Divine since it's glossy and Bleeding Violet is too dark.
ReplyDeleteBleeding Violet cover is pretty much better! Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteBleeding Violet is the BEST COVER EVAR!!!!!! Also I haven't read TDD yet but I highly doubt it can top the EPIC that was BV.
ReplyDeleteHm, while Bleeding Violet's cover is gorgeous, I still have to vote for TDD because I like the simplicity. Great picks! :D
ReplyDeleteI vote for Bleeding Violet. It's so gorgeous. The Dark Divine has a lovely cover too and I like the nail polish, but BV is more dark and intriguing and just all around great looking :) (I haven't read either book yet)
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast of The Dark Divine. Bleeding Violet is all just too dark and blends together a little for me.
ReplyDeleteI really like both covers! But I think I would pick TDD, just because it seems that little more intriguing.
ReplyDeleteAs for cover twins, there were those that used the same model photo; Evermore and North of Beautiful. There was another one too, but I've forgotten what it was called.
ReplyDeleteOhh, The Devouring by Simon Holt is similarish to BV and TDD :)
I'll have to go with Bleeding Violet - it just seems richer to me, more haunting and intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI like them both and I might pick The Dark Divine but the legs freak me out a bit - weirdly shaped, thin and anorexic looking.
Fun post!
I was thinking the same thing, Alyssa! On first glance, TDD is my hands down fave, but when I really looked, the legs freak me out. Way too skinny.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun idea :)
ReplyDeleteI like The Dark Divine better, love the flow of the fabric.
Gotta give it to TDD. It is just a pretty cover.
ReplyDeleteCover wise, The Dark Divine takes the cake!
ReplyDeleteNo question. The Dark Divine cover is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI had to do a double take of the boxers...I thought it was a picture of m G grandfather. Very cool But alas its not. hehe
ReplyDeleteAs for the covers I cant decide. DD the girls is so contrast to the rest and well BV is clustered
There was another one too, but I've forgotten what it was called.

nice article. I would love to follow you on twitter. By the way, did anyone learn that some chinese hacker had busted twitter yesterday again.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Bleeding Violet because I agree the the models legs on The Dark Divine look freakishly thin.
ReplyDeleteI vote for TDD. But I admit I'm totally biased.
