Friday Face Off (17)


Alright, these may not be exact twins, but they definitely have a similar feel. So which does it better for you?


This version of Shiver published 2009
This version of The Silver Kiss published 2009!
Curious...

Last Week on FFO: Before I Fall went lying-on-its-side head to cut-off-down-the-middle head in both a Debut Book Battle and a cover battle.  Before I Fall may have been the clear winner in the Book Battle portion, but The Iron King beat it by a hair in the cover portion...

    Wow...both of those covers are amazing! I haven't read either one of them, so I guess I shouldn't vote! :/

    I am partial to the old cover of The Silver Kiss for some reason. Nostalgia for my childhood I guess. So I pick the Shiver cover.

    Shiver!! I have that copy that I think it's nicer than the other cover. :)

    The Silver Kiss! I love how many face lifts it's had over the years.

    I vote for Shiver; the other cover is cool-looking, but the "every kiss begins with Kay" silhouette is a little schmaltzy for me.

    Re: Lily -- Nope. That's the whole point of the face off (most of the time, though there are exceptions). You're given something visual and you decide which works. So in this case, which makes you want to read the book more?

    I'm rather partial to the silver kiss. I love the silhouette in the leafs and having read the book it seems appropriate. ^^

    i like shiver. i think the kissing silhoutte is what kills it for me in the silver kiss cover - too obvious.

    I'm partial to the Shiver cover, but it very well may be that it's because I haven't read The Silver Kiss yet. I do love the black/white/red look though.

    I actually have that copy of Shiver. Its the UK cover right? I like The Silver Kiss cover better though. Both books were pretty good though. (:

    The silhouettes on The Silver Kiss give that one the edge for me.

    Both very appealing to me, but I'd choose Shiver.
