Huge fan of RO, and I love The Rainbow Orchid V2 cover!!!
Skullduggery pleasant is the bestter of the 4 but none of these 4 really grab me if I'm really honest :(

I voted, but somehow I'm always in the minority. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I've always been different...
You choose interesting covers, thanks for the contest.
Looks like I'm voting for the underdog again!! ;-)
This is the set I've liked least I think, Rainbow Orchid is easily my favourite though.
like the skulduggery 1 ....but i like skulduggery anyway...
The Witchfinder covers are fantastic :) I'm an adult and I turn my Dawn of the Demontide cover over as I don't want it looking at me whilst I am sleeping!!
All the covers have appeal,but I go for cover 3,for creativity and intrigue
My son would love these books.I've voted.Please enter me into the competition
I've added my vote although I though they all looked pretty good.
I've added my vote but through they all looked pretty good.
What a difficult choice, fingers crossed now!
I'm such a scaredy cat - all of these covers are a bit frightening - my teenage daughter loved them!
I love the Witchfinder cover. I've never read any but I'm going to be looking for the series now! Great competition!!!

I voted, and it appears my choice was least favorite - does that prove my wifes declaration that I have no taste?

They are all fab but the Witchfinder is the most eye catching to me. Thanks for the chance to vote :)
Difficult choice between Skullduggery and Witchfinder In the end I chose Witchfinder - all that purple! Lovely
Have voted for Darren Shan. Love his books and can't wait to read this one :)
Darren Shan is maybe the most best fictional writer ever who inspired me to read. I Hope he wins cause he changed my life with his books. And Birth of a Killer is his best yet.
