The Demon Girl by Penelope Fletcher
What's the genre? What's the logline? What is it you like or don't like about this cover? Does it make you want to know more about the book? Does it make you want to BUY the book? Discuss.
My opinion may not count because I had read the book, but the cover is definitely what drew me in. My first thought was fantasy. I love all of Penelope's covers.
As a fantasy-lover, I would certainly pick this up. The cover is simple, yet intriguing. I like the fact the cover uses a very limited color scheme, which gives it more of a darker feel.
This cover intrigues me. I've seen a number of times and the more times I see it, the more I like it. There's something compelling about the artwork. Also, I like that it's clean and succinct and I get a strong sense of what the book's genre is. I might have to buy this one!
Thank you for all the wonderful comments! Some insightful stuff here, and pretty much spot on what I was going for. Happy everyone identifies it as Fantasy :)
The cover make me think fantasy.
ReplyDeleteI also think that this is a good cover the fairy wings vs. the word Demon does give me pause.
I would stop and read the blurb based on this cover.

Very good cover. I like it a lot. The text really works, and the large amount of negative space actually pulls you in.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's a paranormal romance, what with the illusion of nakedness on the winged girl and all.
Good job.
I would pick this one up instantly. It's obviously fantasy, and the idea of fairies and demons is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteOther than the author's name being a little small, this is a great cover.
Afterthought: The white is going to fade out into the background of the Amazon page.
