US // UK
Apologies to fans of the US cover, but I really don't like it. I don't find the chosen models visually appealing in any way, and though I like the green eyes, I just don't think the overall effect works. I do prefer the title font, though - it's edgier and possibly more suited to a story about vampires.
The UK cover is simple and eye-catching, and uses my favourite single image design. For some reason I find this really effective, as the covers never seem cluttered or like they're trying too hard. The title font isn't my favourite, but I think it compliments the striking image well.
Which would you rather have on your shelves?

Definitely the UK cover. The models do nothing for me, and I like the bound-together hands of the UK one.
I much prefer the UK covers for this series, especially the title of the first book.
The UK wins big time on this one. It is simple, but somehow makes such a big impact on you. And purple is the best color ever . . . LOVE it!
Yup...the UK cover does it for me too!
I like the UK one WAYYYYY better....I agree....the cover models for US aren't really interesting to look at. :/ And on the UK cover, I love the multicolor look of the ribbon- the pinkish purple-it's really pretty!
I much prefer the UK cover. There really is no contest here!
Even though I think the UK cover is about 100x nicer, the US cover feels more like the cover to a Harvey novel. Her first book was so light-hearted and fun (as I am sure the second novel will be) and the US cover reflected that... the UK ones just scream SUPER SERIOUS to me which isn't at all in the spirit of the book!
*sighs* I've obviously thought about this way too much.
The UK cover is so much better!
I don't necessarily love the UK cover, but I hate the US one. The girl looks weird from that angle. xD
The US here
Couldn't agree more... I felt the same about the first book in this series, I would never have picked it up if it had been the US cover and title. I've been meaning to say for ages how much I like these jacket posts you do!
UK cover wins for me here!
I really love the UK covers for this series. They're much better than the US.
I got this the other day and I too really like the simplicity of the image, I enjoyed the first book too so hopefully this one will be as good!
I like them both
Am with you on the UK cover, but I do love the font on the US cover.
I much prefer the UK one, I think our cover designers are just so so talented! Love the single image, makes it look fresh as a daisy! huzzah
Defo the UK cover this week. It is so gorgeous. If everyone has missed it my fave colour is purple and I heart the Drake Chronicles :D
UK! I'm not keen on the US covers:(
I really don't like either, but the US covers come off as cheap and trashy, although I liked BLOOD FEUD's better than HEARTS AT STAKE.
Definitely UK! The models just aren't what I see when I think about Blood Feud..
I'm with you on the UK one! The US looks so... lame. I agree with you on the models; they don;t work. i think it makes the book look very juvenile. The UK is gorgeous and simple!
I'm having to opt for the UK cover on this one. Although the UK one is a little too standard-YA-cover for my liking, the US one just looks... tacky somehow. The UK one has more style, I think.
UK all the way. Most of the time I dont like to see the characters on the cover, I want to be able to picture them for my seld.
Without a doubt the UK cover. I'm not a huge fan of faces on the cover, they almost never fits the way I see a character in my mind and that just irritates me.
Definitely UK
