After Obsession

The 'After Obsession' cover is dark and dangerous. The girl is completely lost, the darkness is swallowing her, slowly consuming her - or could it be that she is created from it? The colour of the title has some kind of sickness to it, mainly because of the rest of the cover (the colour alone could be used without making me think of 'evil sickness' lol
Even though this is a dark cover, then there's something calm about it, something peacefull in the darkness.

Twilight

New Moon

Eclipse

Breaking Dawn

These covers are all very simple, but powerful.
I love the symbolism of the 'Twilight' cover, at least the symbolism I make of it - The apple being handed towards the reader symbolises temptation: Bella's temptation is Edward and Edward's temptation is Bella. The apple is used in The Garden of Eden when Eva gives the apple to Adam and in Snow White when the evil queen hands the apple to Snow White - and I am sure the apple has been used in lots of other stories as well to symbolise temptation.
The 'Twilight' cover and the 'Breaking Dawn' cover are my favourites, perhaps because I find that those two have the strongest symbolism.

The Thirteen Hallows

I simply cannot resist a cover with a sword, especially not a sword as beautiful as this one. Of course, you can only see the handle and a bit of the blade, but I just so easily imagine this sword being swung elegantly in a fight.
It's a great blue that's been chosen as the dominant colour. Blue is my fav colour and though this shade of blue isn't my fav shade, then it fits the sword and the background of the city quite well.

The Demon's Covenant

The Demon's Surrender

These covers; there's so much power in them!

I'm a big fan of sword fighting, so of course the cover of book one 'The Demon's Lexicon' especially caught my attention. The scenery on the cover of book one also, in my opinion, has more power to it because of the strong supernatural wind in the background - forces of nature have always fascinated me.

The cover of book two 'The Demon's Covenant' has a touch of magic to it, ice cold dangerous magic.

The cover of book three 'The Demon's Surrender' speaks to me of a new time. Perhaps it's a time of evil that has risen. It is the orange sky that gives me this feeling of 'something-is-coming', 'something-is-rising' and though it is a beautiful sky, which can make you feel warm and wonderful, then it has this warning of dark powers to it.
