  • Original Title: Kiss of Midnight

  1. Larissa, it's always interesting to see these covers comparrissons.

    Just a note though. The first cover for "Beijo da Meia-Noite" 8the green one) is not from a brazilian edition, but from a portuguese one (I'm from Portugal :).

  2. I kind of like the JR Ward and Colleen Gleason's the others are kind of bleh.

  3. Hi Larissa!!
    So nice to see our book covers on the blog!

    Covers that I liked most: Storm (better than the original), The Rest Falls Away (better than the original, Unraveled and Covet.

    Creepy: Hunger...what's up with the horse on the cover? So ugly!!!

    The others are ok.

    There are great covers here in Brazil!!

    Kisses.

  4. @Ana

    Thanks for the heads up!!!

    I didnt know and I couldnt find any info LOL =D

  5. @Desa

    Thanks!!

    I agree with you! we do generally get nice covers, but the Hunger one, Ugh!

    @BLH

    I know what you mean =P

  6. Vanessa says:

    Crazy that there is a difference from one country to the next. Some of the covers I like the US ones some I like the Brazilians.

  7. I actually like the Hunger one on the cover. Maybe not for that book, but I like the picture of the horse.

    I love comparisons like these.

  8. Great covers. My fave is the Brazillian Unravelled one x

  9. Blodeuedd says:

    I get the horse since they are eh 4 riders, and it does look cool...but it looks like a creepy book about a horse

    And lots of generic ones there

  10. I could go either way on most of them, but the Brazilian version of Unraveled is definitely better than the original.

  11. Avery says:

    Wow! The Unraveled Brazilian cover is absolutely gorgeous!

  12. Missie says:

    I really like the cover for Hunger, I think it is better than the US.

    Love this feature. I really enjoy seeing the different covers. So cool.

  13. Deea says:

    Oooohhh, Brazilian covers! Awesome!!!
    I prefer the original cover oh Hunger, but I really like both the Portuguese and the Brazilian covers of Kiss of Midnight, they're so much better than the original one!
    I like The Brazilian cover of Dead as a Doornail -then again, I've never been a fan of the original Charlaine Harris covers.
    I prefer the original cover of The Fledgling Handbook, I like those symbols.:)
    As for the other books, I like both the original and the Brazilian covers. Awesomeness!
    Thanks for posting them!
    xoxo

  14. I like the original covers more but the new cover for The Rest Falls Away looks amazing. It would really stand out on a bookshelf.

  15. @Melissa

    @Susan

    Thanks!

    LKove that one too!

    @Blodeuedd

    true! hehe

    @Bethany

    I agree!

    @Avery

    =)

    @Missie

    Thanks hon!

    @Deea

    I agree, Im not a fan of the original Sookie covers!

    My pleasure hon!

    @Steph

    I really like that one too! =)

  16. I'm thinking the Gleason cover is my favorite and I like how they used all the art instead of chopping it up for the Butcher novel.
