Feature & Follow (2)


Feature & Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted over at Parajunkee and Allison Can Read.  This weeks question is:

Q:  Best cover?  What is the best cover of a book you have read and didn't like?


This cover is SO PRETTY.  I loved the colors, the model's pose, the lovely background, and the awesome font.  Unfortunately, the story line was a little less impressive for me.  Fallen, being the first book in the series, wasn't absolutely horrible.  There were actually quite a few parts that I enjoyed.  But as the series went on (and the covers consistently remained beautiful), the story and the characters lost it.  I couldn't even get through the second book.  

Be sure to leave you FF links below!  I'll be more than happy to check them out and follow you!

    You're the second blogger I've seen discussing Fallen's cover. I haven't read it, but it is sure a pity that the story fell through. The cover is so captivating!

  5. For Fallen, it was more like I was completely bored with it. When I did manage to concentrate on the story, I would fly into such a fit of rage. But I was mostly just bored. I wish the story lived up to its cover. New Follower.

  6. I have had Fallen on my bookshelf since it came out (years ago, already?) and have yet to read it. I love the cover, but it has just never been priority in my TBR pile. Lol.

    Great choice.

  13. I've seen a couple Fallen's today! I enjoyed the second and third books much more than the first - but if the first isn't great, why continue reading the story? I definitely get it. :)
