Change Of Heart by Clare Lydon
There are so many elements of this cover I love: the colour palette, the character design and the font choice. A lot of books I pick up are because their covers pique my interest. I bought this on my Kindle so I had no idea what this actually looked like until I saw it on the phone app. Hence proving just how great I think this cover is.
Synopsis: When Erin Stewart hires a fake date for her parents’ anniversary party, she gets more than she bargained for. First, she gets Steph Mitchell, a professional actor with a side order of drop-dead gorgeous. Second, she walks slap-bang into a wall of family stress. Deep breaths, it’s only five days. Plus, with Steph’s help, she can totally get through this, right?
Only, Erin didn’t plan on falling for the charming Steph. She’s also powerless when the simmering tension erupts, with dizzying consequences for everyone. What happens when you fake it, make it, then break it? Erin and Steph are about to find out.
The Dark Place by Britney S. Lewis
This book is really special to me as it was the first physical ARC I received. Plus the cover is absolutely stunning, obviously, that’s why it’s in this post. It’s completely different to the other two books in this post though. It’s dark and mysterious, which are usually my favourite types of covers.
I love the realistic style, it really brings the unsettling nature of the book to life. I don’t remember the significance of the flowers stitching her lips together but it’s really cool so I don’t care. It’s also a good pop of colour to bring some life to the cover.
Synopsis: You can only hide from your nightmares for so long.
Seventeen-year-old Hylee Williams didn’t ask to disappear. But she did disappear, and not only that, but when she vanished from our world, she materialized in a dark, twisted version of the night that changed her life forever: the night her older brother went missing.
Just as Hylee realizes this moment could be the key to unraveling the truth about her brother, she’s yanked away from the dark place back to our world. Craving a sense of normalcy, she goes to a party with her best friend–where she meets Eilam Roads. Tall, handsome, and undeniably, inexplicably familiar, Hylee can’t help the pull she feels towards him. It’s a classic teen girl-meets-boy situation, until it happens again. She disappears, right in front of him.
Together, Hylee and Eilam investigate the truth about time, space, and reality, with Hylee increasingly convinced her time travel holds the key to saving her brother. But the more they learn, the more Hylee begins to see darkness lurking in her world–and in herself.
