We’re starting a new 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.

Knowledge Revealed

 

 

Julie Review Avatar

Reading the blurb, it’s kind of a mysterious story. Someone has secrets, lots of them. But reading the reviews gives away what that is. So I’ll go with that. Since the reviews say this is a very similar story line to Twilight, I’m going to talk vampires.

Knowing that the story is about vampires, I am so confused about the wings on the cover. Or are there angels too?

The cover looks a bit steam punky. Not supernatural. So I’m almost expecting airships or spooky old houses with secrete passages.

Super curious about why there’s that peep hole that looks like you’re looking into a different world, which would only make sense if the world was totally different – like a gateway or a portal, rather than supernatural living among us, which is what the reviews made it seem to be.

Generally, I do like the idea of the cover. And the eerie but inviting feel.  The colors are great. I do like all the gold.

But it’s got too much going on. Too many elements.  I don’t know where to look.

The Title font is wonderful. Love it.

Unlike Julie, I did not read the spoiler-y\vampire review. I’m going to stick with my impressions of the cover.

I do agree that the cover is way too busy. Is that a door in the background, with a window into another world? That’s what I think at least. I like the metal plates at the top. Very armor-like. The window\portal is cool. I like the idea of being able to peer into another world.

The wings on the cover do seem out of place. Certainly they are my focal point, and I’d think the book would have something to do with angels? Hawk-men? (Yes, my Flash Gordon is showing!) They don’t really match the quick blurb.

I like the colors and the font. Those are good choices.

Overall, I’d say this cover caught my eye. But didn’t intrigue me enough to want to read the book.

 

What are your thoughts on this cover?
