The Friday Face Off meme was created by Books by Proxy and its an awesome opportunity to feature some cool cover art. All you have to do is choose a book cover that relates to the theme, which can be found over on Lynn’s page, post some covers and select your favourite.
This is my first time jumping onto this meme bandwagon and I thought I had it in the bag, but the curse of Ilona Andrews covers strikes again.
Lion- “Is that a lion with horns and a pitchfork?”






Ilona Andrews are notorious for bad covers and it seems that it affects all of their editions. I love the Ace edition, it has a lion, it has her battered and bruised (with perfect hair) and it looks like she is defending Curran as much as he is defending her. This is the book in the series that made me fall completely in love with the characters as well as the world. It made me love them two together, so the Ace has to take the win for nostalgic reasons. A special mention has to go to the Czech edition for looking like the cover of a porn movie and the second French edition is straight up badass.
Which is your favourite? And if you have read the book, which one do you think represents the story the best? Damn it now I want to read them again.
Nice, I used a Kate Daniels book too! And yes, I agree the covers are pretty awful, but their ugliness has also come to be charming in a way, lol!

They were the first books that came to mind when I saw the theme. I love them and I love their cheesy covers 🙂

Haha, Magic strikes, but maybe not the covers! They are kind of cheesy but over the years they’ve grown on me 😀
I nearly used the first book from the series – for some reason it’s the only one I’ve read although I’ve always been intrigued about the rest of the books.
Lynn 😀

Lynn the books get so good. I struggle with book 1, even on re-read, but I fell in love with the world, by book 3 I’m fully invested.
