This one’s not a perfect double take but close enough to be memorable!
Double Minds by Terry Blackstock was published in early 2009 by Thorndike publishers. I love that the orange stands out so well against the black background. The face creeps me out a little bit, though.
Shadow Hills by Anastasia Hopcus isn’t out yet, but the ARC has been making the rounds on a number of blogs I read. This one will be out in June 2010 by EdgmontUSA. Again, I love the orange against the black, but I think I like the yellow font for the title just a teensy bit more than the white on the other cover. But honestly? As much as they both look similar, I like them both. I don’t think one’s done it better than the other.
What about you? Is one standing out more?
I definitely like the second one better. The first one looks a little dated to me.
I think it's a little dated, too, but I'm not sure what aspect of the cover is giving off that vibe. The face maybe?
I'm so glad you like the cover!
It stands out! I like that there's not a person on it, which is getting to be kind of old for me. I don't want to have the characters shown, since so many of them look the same.
