I've featured the cover for Eden Maguire's Dark Angel on FFO before (when it faced off against The Vespertine). But recently, I've been seeing the cover of Brodi Ashton's Everneath everywhere, and I realized that, though the two are by no means cover twins, they most certainly remind me of each other. Everything from the gorgeous dresses and half-obscured faces to the red/gray/white color scheme, flourishes to the titles and upward slant to the wings-and-clouds (fog?) behind the titles - they may not be the same cover, but these two definitely have some things in common. They would have plenty to talk about over coffee...
So, which would you reach for? Love 'em, hate 'em?
Which one did it better?

I like the Dark Angel cover better. She has a whole head! I also prefer the black text against the white background on this cover. It's more eye-catching to me.
ReplyDeleteDark Angel catches my attention first but my vote goes to Everneath for fierceness :)
ReplyDeleteEverneath! I like how the dress looks like it's turning into the smoke. And I like it better when I DON'T have a face on the cover so my imagination can do the work.
ReplyDeleteEverneath ALL the way. I don't actually love the Dark Angel/Vespertine cover. I always thought the model looked awkward and VERY cartoonish... But I LOVE the Everneath cover. SO pretty!! :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Everneath. I love the smoke effect on her dress (even though it reminds me of Voldemort's robes in the Goblet of Fire movie). I've never liked the cover of Dark Angel, mostly because of the big swoopy feather thing at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteEverneath all the way!! The way the dress flows...even the red is better than the other.
ReplyDeleteEverneath all the way! Gorgeous and mysterious. Though, the other cover is still eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteEverneathe dude!! I love it hardcore!!
ReplyDeleteEverneath! The other one is just a recoloring of the Vespertine anyway.
ReplyDeleteEverneath by far. I really dislike the first one
ReplyDeleteHey... they do look alike!!
ReplyDeleteI like Everneath b/c although the foggy trees and the wing are both great, that mist coming up and her dress misting off like that makes Everneath even better. Plus... the one is running away and the other is stalking forward. Oh yea!
Everneath. Love the fog and the swirlies on her dress and in the fog. It's a breathtaking cover.
ReplyDeleteThis is tough! I think Everneath is really lovely and simple. I love how the dress swirls into smoke. But, then one of your commentors pointed out how she didn't have her whole head, and that kind of bothers me when that happens. I still think I will have to go with Everneath because I think there is too much going on Dark Angel.
