Friday Face Off: A Beautiful Evil v. Shifting


A few months ago, I saw the cover for Bethany Wiggins' Shifting and kinda loved it. I had originally planned to do a Face Off between Shifting and Sweet Venom, which had actually already had a Face Off of its own.  But then I saw the glorious cover of Kelly Keaton's A Beautiful Evil, and a match made in Face Off Heaven was born.  So what do you guys think?  Is the chic-Medusa look catchy or creepy?  Which would you pick up off the shelves?
Which one did it better?




Last Week on FFO:  Reaching Through Time and Return to Paradise went kissy-face to kissy-face, and most of you found it awkward.  Fail.  But even if the awkward stock photo was a fail, we still have a winnah; better lighting and pretty swirlies made Reaching Through Time triumphant.

  1. A Beautiful Evil for me. The font of the title for Shifting is really pretty, and I like that the snake part of the hair is green, making it stand out. But ABE is more well put together overall, IMO.

  4. I pick A Beautiful Evil. I kinda don't love the gray/green... I like that the snake on ABE is a little more subtle, but that it also doesn't need to be green to stand out... I like that the ABE girl is not so close up & I like the detailing at the top. :)

  11. Beautiful Evil is definitely the best by far. I love that cover.

  12. Definitely A Beautiful Evil. The fact that Shifting has this gorgeous black and white cover and suddenly the snake's head is green makes the snake look artificial and cheesy.

  13. SHIFTING all the way! But that's not the final cover ;)

  14. Both of these kind of creep me out but although I love the font on Shifting...my pick would be A Beautiful Evil for the coloring.

    I think next week I'll do a Face Off with this cover and the final cover (or, I assume it's the final - which I quite like)
