I'm guessing the guy is supposed to be Nick. So why can't we have (view spoiler)[ the dancer dude with him? Or no one. Do we need a girl? (hide spoiler)]

He needs to get a shirt that fits. I can see how cold he is.
The people who come up with these Elementals covers are descending in taste and that is saying something because it's not as though they started at a particularly high level.

And in other cover news!
Wow. Love at first sight, Stacia. Second surprise...By Susan Ee?
Off I go to search that book!
Hey!! Angelfall 2. I didn't add two and two.
And this is what I mean about simple covers being awesome!
That just made my night! Good thing my roommate is in bed and didn't see me fangirl just now!
It has a cover and I love it!
Pretty and dark = win.
Whoa. Love.Kirin Antlers!
OH GAWD that cover is beautiful! Makes me want to buy the physical copies so I can display those beauties on my bookcase.
I have signed hardcovers of the first two and you can believe this one will be the same.

thats beautiful!!!!!!!!!! ugh since buying a kindle i have for the most part converted and don't buy the actual hard copy very often but i am still drawn to pretty covers and this..this right here..tells me i must have..
I know what you mean. I rarely buy actual books anymore but some of these are so pretty it's really tempting to buy them twice.
It's been a while since we've had a WTF cover. I saw this zombie cover on a galley site and had an ewww moment. 
Hahaha the first thing I thought of when I saw that cover were those pictures on Awkward Family photos when they superimpose someone in a creepy way. 
Bahahahaha, Rose! Awkward Family Photos are the best!
I can spend waaay too much time on that site...
Those pics are hilarious. Every. Single. Time.
I can't stop in card isles anymore since they came out with that line cause I crack up every time.

I like this cover better than the first two in the Nevermore series but the black and white seems strange, since the first two were in color. Anyone else think she looks like Alice in Wonderland here? Maybe it's the dress.
She seriously does. Maybe the lack of color is because of the title...? I don't know.
If it's not final maybe they'll decide to add some color. If for no other reason than the author's name is difficult to read.
I still need to read the second one. That would be great for this seasonal challenge!The cover pose is great, I like it too, but agree it needs some more color.
So the covers to this series started out somewhat okay...and then we got SWORD TO BOOB and now we have this...And on a final cover to boot. /sigh
Wow I really don't like that, and the Color palette is so faded.

I haven't really liked any of the Mythos covers, even though I like the series. The sword-to-boob cover was my least favorite though. This newest cover looks like a bad case of mom jeans and a fog machine.
Plus it looks like she's going to break out her fembot killer nipples at any moment.

She's all "Hang on, I have to take a poop in this dry ice. Look at my breasts. It's windy."
Don't forget the elementary school picture background.
That's what I look like when I forget to lift with my legs and use my back instead. Except not nearly as glamorous with the hair whipping.
Hah, for a second I thought you wrote "that's what I look like when I forget to lift my legs."What are the thoughts on these covers? I think I like the green Dust Lands cover better than the last yellow one.
