I LOVE The Great Hunt's cover (and it fits well with the story, bonus!) and After the Woods is fabulous too. And The Treachery of Beautiful Things is one I hadn't seen before, but SO pretty!

I was planning on doing another Photoshop post, but then I ended up not getting any new stuff done and I was too tired to put a cover post together last minute lol.<br /><br />Anyway, I do seem to like forests on book covers. If I ever get my book written, I actually envision the character being in a forest on the cover. I like all of these to be honest, but I think my favorites are Fallen, Towering, and The Darkest Part of the Forest.Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-83313067241954733002016-04-11T15:30:37.145-07:002016-04-11T15:30:37.145-07:00Oh I love forests in general and I like seeing the...Oh I love forests in general and I like seeing them on covers. the first one to come to mind is The Lost City by Kelley Armstrong, the paperback version that I had a forest on the cover and the book also mostly takes place in a forested era.<br /><br />I've always liked the Fallen cover, that melancholy and gothic feel of the cover is really well done. I've never read the book though. The alpha and omega cover is pretty too, I especially like how their shapes are reversed in the water where she is wolf instead of human and he is human instead of wolf.
