Cover Snark: Poor Vincent


Welcome back to Cover Snark!

A Shift in Fate by Maddox Grey. A blue smoky cover, with a pale snack curled up. However, the color of the snake makes it looks like a flaccid penis. Curled within the snake are green gems.

From Thibeault: No words needed.

Sarah: I’m not sure what the penis – sorry, problem is here. Looks phallic, I mean, fine to me.

Elyse: It looks like something the cat does in the litter box that leads to an expensive vet visit.

Sarah: After eating the plastic Easter grass, yeah.

Declan by Melissa Belle. A shirtless man is holding up a towel around his waist. A hockey stick is photoshopped against his body.

From Susie T: 1. At what point does the towel fall off? They keep placing pants and towels so low…

2. There are better ways to paste a hockey stick.

Sarah: I didn’t realize we were at the “cut and paste the hockey stick anywhere it’s fine” phase of hockey romance.

Elyse: It reminds me of Clippy. A hockey stick just pops out of nowhere. Were you trying to write a hockey romance?

Shake That Sass by C.D. Gorri. I can't tell if the couple on this cover is photoshopped or 3D modeled. The man is shirtless and wearing acid washed rhinestoned jeans. He has a black tribal tattoo on his chest and a tribal wolf tattoo on his bicep. He has frosty, shoulder length grey hair. She has long curly grey hair and is wearing a hot pink, sleeveless, turtleneck crop top and jeans. A black wolf lurks in the corner as well as the front wheel of a motorcycle. There's also a mountain lion crouching at the bottom. The couple is posing in what appears to be an abandoned building.

From Jen: They look like they are posing for Dancing With the Stars to me. Also I don’t think these two posed together, looks like they were photoshopped beside each other. Just way too much going on with this cover. And is that a motorcycle wheel growing from her? So confused.

Sarah: For ye shall use the cut and the paste, the drop shadow and the outer glow, but most of all the feather and dissolve! How else will people know this book is a motorcycle cat wolf shifter dance off. With people who have blue hair.

Amanda: This feels like an I Spy collage with all the weird little things I keep finding.

Loved by the Lion by Evangeline Anderson. The face of a giant lion man in face. He has shoulder length blond hair and his nose and mouth area has morphed into that of a cat's. At the bottom of the cover is a big glowing planet and a spaceship.

From Elizabeth S: OMG – remember that old show with Linda Hamilton (Beauty and the Beast). This cover is like flashback/retro.

Sarah: Please be aware that I am taking this cover snark VERY PERSONALLY.

OMG poor Vincent. That show imprinted on my soul at a young age (I was DISTRAUGHT when Linda Hamilton’s character was killed off, spoilers for a show from 1989)

I can see what this cover is going for, and I am so uncomfortable.

Elyse: He went from the sewer to outer space.

Shana: Tween me would never have predicted Vincent being reincarnated as a lion in space.
