Uncovered (47): Sister Assassin (aka Mind Games)


Hi, kids! Thanks for visiting this week's installment of Uncovered. I love a good book cover and this is where I get to gush about them.

This week I have the UK edition cover to Kiersten White's upcoming release. The book is called Sister Assassin in the UK and Mind Games in the US.  Most of you have probably seen the cover to the US version. I recently found the UK cover and immediately fell in love with it. While I like the US cover, this one is much more my style. I always love the illustration based covers and I love the stark black and white image. It has a real sketch quality to it. There is something really sinister and compelling in their expressions. And is it just me or do they remind you a bit of Alexis Bledel (left) and Christina Ricci (right)?  

I don't know who the artist is on this one, but it reminds me a lot Joey Hi-Fi's work. It has a similar feel to Blackbirds, a previous book on Uncovered. If any of our friends in the UK get a copy of this and could let us know, that would be great. My attempts at finding it keep bringing up pages on Assassin's Creed. :)

Comment question*: Do you prefer the US cover or UK?

  2. I greatly prefer the UK cover, and the title for that matter. The US cover just looks like the same old thing to me, while the UK cover stands out more for the reasons you mention. And agreed, there is a resemblance to Bledel and Ricci. Hope you get your hands on it!

  3. I prefer the UK cover. It has so much more character to it. Lately I've been coveting a lot of UK books because of their covers!
