I like the contrast all of your covers have had being mostly white with a Black clothed character, kinda ying yang to me. However I can’t say that I ever identified the cover character from the Night Angel series. To me the character illustration looked created by someone that had not read the book,(books) The weapons didn’t make sense to me, I didn’t know Kylar ran around with a samurai sword. Also if your going to only have one character on the three covers and not hint to the world or other characters, why not show how the character evolves or deteriorates across the covers hinting to me the peril and triumph ahead? And also i’d say fight the good fight! I think the cover is the first opportunity for communication to potential readers, you should be involved with its look, finish, etc, as much as you are with writing the actual books. Just my opinion buddy, I loved your night angel trilogy and will be looking out for whatever you write in the future regardless of the cover!

Hello, I love your novels. Your covers are what grabbed my attention and your writing is what kept me coming back for more. As a professional artist, I think this is a start to a wonderful cover that will catch readers eyes; however, I do think the man looks like he is holding the blade a little awkwardly (Although that might be because the blade is going in front of the Best Selling Author. I think it should go behind it.) You may want to darken his face and clothes a little more and perhaps make the bags under his eyes less noticeable.

I think his face should at least be half hidden. It makes it more mystical (is that the word I’m looking for?).

Also! Sorry, I forgot to say this last time there.. If you keep this cover, I love the multi-colour thing going on there, but I think the red should be toned down. Maybe add a different colour, or enlarge the purple.

Alright man. Okay, while the cover is freakishly amazing, you have to notice one thing! It’s a copy of how the Night Angel books were made in their cover! (bad grammar, shh) If you wanna do that, fine. But you should find a way to make that your signature cover. That wasy if somebody sees it, they don’t need to check it closely to know you’ve written in! Is it posible to copyright it? I dunno. But I think if you publish any books outside the Night Angel Trilogy with that cover, you’re going to hav to do it all the time. Just a warning. If this book is even half as good as Beyond the Shadows, I will faint after reading it

So the cover looks wicked, and I doubt this matters at all but really, the one bit of colour probably should be balanced out a bit more, (maybe the pattern?) but I like the uneven effect it has.
Well I don’t know any better, and you don’t really need some snazzy cover to sell a book.
Your writing is brilliant, your characters even more so, and I am forever envious.
Just doing my part to inflate your ego.

Love the cover. Hate the names of the characters in the blurb. I HOPE they’re not the names that will actually be used…

I’ve done a lot of reading and I have to admit this is the best trilogy I’ve ever read, in my top 5 best series list. Keep up the good work, i’m a life-long fan now.

I confess that i am 36yr old mum who untill twilight had no interest in reading, your books were one of my first reads after i got the reading bug and wow u really got me hooked.

So for newbe’s like me the cover is important coz we have no clue at first wot is good and wot is not we go for somthing that catches the eye

Keep up the smoke theme its hot and so is ur new cover u should try it with gold and silver on a cover also

I would have to agree with Sonny (above me) on both of his points. I think the person looks a bit too modern, I dont know why, he just does. I also dont like how the whole face is presented to me. I liked the cloaked Kylar so i could imagine most of him on my own. Even though I will, most likley, still create my own world and characters in my own mind, it’s still something to consider. The multi-color hand effect seems a bit much. I liked the one color thing you had going in the NA trilogy.

Any revisions would be for new readers though. Because a fan such as myself would buy this book if the cover was hot-pink with flowers on it
