Good times. I like both the first two covers, but Passenger is my favorite.

A great bunch to start with, but The Passenger takes it for me.

The cover for Passenger is classic and subtly creepy...the hands down winner of the pack this morning ;0)

They are all strong covers, but a werewolf in a leather jacket does it for me every time.

Werewolf in a leather jacket nearly had me but given my love for all things fae, it had to be The Uniforn Hunter!

I love Book 2 as the Graphic's are much much better and would definitely appeal to me to buy :)

I love Will Hill's books, but I have to admit that the steampunk-ish cover for Passenger is really cool ! So, 12 points to Passenger from France !

If you ask me they all look great, but the second one looks the most proffessional and eye catching of them all. It also happens to incorporate some of m favorite things haha

Passenger cover is clean lines and eye catching , draws me in.
Department 19 is too busy no focal point
Coming from an artistic family i think the other 2 covers graphics are poor

I think that the first 2 covers are great. But i will choose Battle Lines by Will Hill. The graphic of Battle Lines is very catching. Passenger's cover is a little too dull for me.
