“Luster” by Raven Leilani. This cover looks like someone got a little too artsy with a kaleidoscope and a disco ball. I’m not quite sure what’s going on here—it’s a mix of neon lights and what looks like tangled hair? It’s definitely eye-catching, but also a bit unsettling, like a bad trip in a ’70s nightclub. Is this book about a party gone wrong or an art piece I just don’t understand? Either way, I’m intrigued but also a little freaked out. Let’s hope the story inside is less trippy and more gripping.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Summary: A cover that’s as wild and tangled as your hair after a night out, promising a unique and possibly bizarre reading experience.
