KING OF FOOLS by Amanda Foody
This design is almost identical to that of the preceding book, Ace of Shades. While there are a few pattern changes, the main difference is in the colour scheme.

FAIRY TALE by Stephen King
How pretty is this cover?! The gentle, pastel colours work wonderfully with the simple illustration to create a striking design. I also love that we have Charlie and Radar in the design, even though all we get is their outline.

MY DARLING HUSBAND by Kimberly Belle
With its dark shadows and red text, this design is perfect for the thrilling story it represents. The pops of red and blue are not only striking but also allude to the suspense and intrigue within the narrative.

THE OLEANDER SWORD by Tasha Suri
This gorgeous green cover is absolutely stunning and fits well with the design for the previous book in this series. The illusion of Malini is a great touch that reflects her significant role in the story.

While the intricate details regarding the powers and family names were slightly confusing, even this could not lessen the appeal of the world Amanda creates.

CROOKED KINGDOM by Leigh Bardugo
I love that this cover shares such a strong connection with the one for the previous book. While this design is not as stunning as the former, I once again found the buildings concealed within the crow’s feathers visually appealing.
