We’re doing a feature here on Chapter Break called Chat About Covers. ‘Cause you know we all judge books by covers, whether we admit it or not. We judge the style, the color and font choices, and just the overall look. That might not keep us from reading the book, but we do still judge.

UGH this cover is painful. TOO MUCH GOING ON. Where do my eyes look? MY EYES!

I gotta say though, I do like the fonts. The cool poison in the O of FORTUNE is great. And the ombre effect on the author’s name. Also great.

The rest? Has to go. All of it. Especially the freaky snail. WTF?

Sometimes a cover attracts for one reason. And Reel of Fortune for me stood out right away with the giant snail. It both repulses and intrigues me. Which I guess is the cover doing it’s job. Though, the fact that the snail looks like it’s fishing with it’s mouth is just strange. And yes – it get it. Reel = fishing. But maybe move the reel over a bit?

Overall, hard pass for me!

  1. It’s just too busy for my taste. And until I read a previous comment about the snail fishing, never caught that. But then, there is a lot going on.
