Cover Love--The Thumbnail Challenge

It's been so hot where I live lately, I've brought you a few sizzlers today for my cover love challenge.  In keeping with exploring Amazon's new categories, I decided to go with Vampires today, and I wanted to keep it to the freebies like I did last week.  I have to say it was harder to pick this time.  Most of these have really great reviews, so I went ahead and picked a few that I didn't exactly love certain elements of the covers.

I was surprised this one was actually a vampire book. The cover is interesting with the play of shadow and light. It drew my attention immediately, even though I think the title should be a bolder type face.  When I clicked on the link, I realized the boy has blood dripping from his mouth.  Why does there always have to be blood? lol. I know, vampires.  It's a given, but does it really have to be on the cover?

I love the colors in this one and both the author's name and title are easily readable, unlike some of these. It just goes to show how typography can make a huge difference in a cover.

Here is one that is really cute, but the type face makes it difficult to read.  It all seems a bit out of focus, but I loved the fun atmosphere of this cover.

The typeface on this one is horrible. I feel like I'm going cross eyed every time I look at it, but the book sounds good, so I'm including this one.

I like the colors and the elements in this one, although the title is not readable in this size.  I was drawn to the cover and clicked the link.

I've decided that vampire covers could use some work. I love vampire books but many of the covers I came across didn't do the genre justice.

Okay, so which of these babies gets a closeup?

I like the dark mood set by the colors and the image. The tag line is fun and overall, I really want to read this book now.

How about you?  Which is your favorite.  Have you read any of these books, and did you enjoy them?

Happy reading, everyone.
