I love book covers! I love walking around Barnes and Noble just looking at all the different covers.
A good cover will make me pull the book off the shelf! It's almost like I have a crush on them :)
Today I'm crushin' on:
About the Book:
Ivy Bloodgood’s mother is dead, and she should probably be sad about it. But she isn’t. Myra Bloodgood was confusing mix of protective and abusive, a manipulative personality who never told the truth—about where she came from, who Ivy’s father was, or why they were living their lives on the run.
Now that Ivy has been sent to Darkhaven, an island off the New England coast, to live with a rich uncle she didn’t know existed, she is forced to reckon with her mother’s past. Ivy can tell right away there are long-held family secrets buried within these walls, but when she wakes up from one of her nightmares covered in someone else’s blood, Ivy fears that whatever demons her mother battled while she was alive have come to roost in her own mind. Scared that she can no longer trust what she sees, Ivy seeks the help of a boy who thinks her episodes are connected to the sordid history of Darkhaven—but what they don’t know might kill them both.

Seriously this cover is so awesome. I love how the smoke(?) curls around. It makes it seem so mystical or magical. Then when I follow it down I see the building and that makes me even more curious! Is it a house? A school? It looks like it's out in the middle of nowhere, so then that makes me think it's eerie! And the tag: It's all in her head..... LOVE IT! Just a great cover all the way around!
That is a terrific cover. If I feel the need to be scared, I will pick this one up. Thanks for the post.
