Wiener Blut by Katharina Maimer
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.
I have no idea what Wiener Blut means. Google says it means Vienna Blood. If that's the case, this might be a romantic suspense or maybe just straight suspense. The latte makes me think there could be a humorous element. Mostly, this cover confuses me; the genre is unclear, and the title is German but the byline is English. I'm afraid I wouldn't pick it up to find out more.
I have not got a clue towards what the genre or story is about. A woman drinking coffee might suggest chick lit or it might be the history of starbucks for all I know.
I think that the cover should be redone to something more helpful.
The cover really doesn't really strike me as something interesting I would want to read, much less buy. I've no idea what the genre is about just from the picture alone (not the German title).
German chick lit?

ReplyDeleteI would not buy this book based on the cover. It doesn't tell me anything about the story or give me a clue what genre it is.
ReplyDelete@Colette says the German title means Vienna Blood...so maybe it's a vampire novel?
ReplyDeleteBut I don't get that from looking at the picture alone. Altho maybe it's a humorous vampire novel?
I just don't have a clue, author, sorry.
