Look at the following cover. Imagine that you have only the cover and the information it provides (including images, title and author name) to decide whether to buy this (or any) book.

Would you buy this book having looked only at its cover? If so, what on this cover sold you? If not, what on this cover turned you off?

If you have, in fact, bought and/or read this book, tell us how well our verdicts guided us. Did the cover lead us rightly into great fiction? Or did the cover wrongly steer us toward a bad story or away from a great one?

So, would you buy this book by its cover?

Pretty vampire-man makes me want to sun away screaming...

Well, truth be told I don't know if this is "urban fantasy" or (even worse) romantic fantasy, but this cover just makes me shiwer (and not in a good way)...
