Wereworld: Rise of the Wolf by Curtis Jobling gets my vote. I love the expressive cover and detail it has.

One I'm looking forward to reading, the trailer for it is good as well :)

Interesting, not so many votes for The Familiars but a high proportion of commenters. I like the Jobling cover, it's very striking, but I like cats and from the cover alone, The Familiars looks like the only book I'd investigate further with a view to buying.

It has to be The Familiars. It looks inviting and enchanting plus a cat will do it for me every time! iddybooks@gmail.com

I like The Familiars, aside that the cat looks like my own and the artwork looks warm and inviting, I've always loved the term 'Familiar'!

Had to choose 'Crowmaster'. I've really loved all the 'Invisible Fiends' covers so far, this is no exception.

'Wereworld: Rise of the Wolf' is my favourite cover. It has a haunting appeal which would make me want to read the book. Great art work - would make a good poster!

I know they say don't judge a book by it's cover, but with 'Birth of a killer' how can I not?
I love the way the eerie cover really helps portray the book.

Had to go for Curtis Jobling - Wereworld, it struck me as quite apt, and would be the one I'd pick up to read the back cover.

Has to be Birth of a killer, mostly because my son would kill me if I voted any other way :)
