amazing covers, wanted to vote for them all but chose the Familiars as I liked the animals so much :)
Voted for the one who beat out my favorite in the last war.
Argh! Such a difficult choice but my vote went for Mr. Jobling's as it is too pretty.
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 :)

Curtis Jobling's Wereworld FTW! My email address is L_bunny[@]hotmail.com
Difficult decision, but I liked 'The Familiars' the best. @coversnails
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!

V difficult to choose, but Wereworld just tipped it for me.
@liveotherwise on twitter.
All great covers! I think I would read them all if I had the chance :)
All look great reads but invisible friends i think looks the best.
Tough choice but I went for the Familiars - very eye catching and different to the latest cover trends. relaxed1too
loving the cover of book 1
What a fantastic bunch of covers. I went for Darren Shan - love it!
Jo Bling wins it for me.
All the front covers are good, so difficult to choose, but I have to go with Wereworld: Rise of the wolf as it has amazing detail!
However I can not enter the giveaway, I vote for Darren Shan - The Saga of Larten Crepsley: Birth of a Killer
I voted for The Familiars - looks just like our cat
I voted for darren shan's cover for the fact that it really shows you what the book is about, its extremely well created and very eerie.

Thanks
Darren Shan Birth of a Killer
NO COMPETITION
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 :)
