Paranoia

Array

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ This cover is as uninspired as its title. Overused imagery, an overbearing author name, and zero originality make this one a hard pass.

Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales

Heather Fawcett

Array

Rating: ★★★☆☆ The cover has a lot of personality, but it’s a bit overwhelming and unclear about what exactly we’re getting into. It’s intriguing enough to flip through, but being the third book in a series is a drawback for newcomers.

Onyx Storm

Rebecca Yarros

Array

Rating: ★★★★★ A bold and intricate cover that practically screams "epic fantasy." Dragons are front and center, and while the title is a bit vague, the overall effect is compelling. Looks like a high-stakes, action-packed story.

The Big Empty

Robert Crais

Array

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ A big name and a vague title leave us with little to go on. The Big Empty doesn’t deliver enough intrigue or clarity to make us want to dive in.

The God Of The Woods

Liz Moore

Array

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ A pretty but unexciting cover. The dripping paint adds a small dose of mystery, but without any context, it doesn’t do enough to make us want to read the book.

Iron Flame

Rebecca Yarros

Array

Rating: ★★★★☆ This looks like an intense, thrilling fantasy novel that will captivate readers who love dragons, magic, and rebellion. Fans of epic fantasy and action-driven plots will likely be hooked.

The Boyfriend

Freida McFadden

Array

A provocative cover suggesting sex, violence, and a very bad choice in a dating partner.

The Women

Kristin Hannah

Array

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ A generic title and very few clues about the contents. The lack of creativity in the title makes me question the whole book.
