I think I like the cover of Angel Evolution the best. The feathers are more defined and it just gives me an angelic jolt instantly when I look at it. Looks like a good trilogy. Thanks for the giveaway!

I, too, like the cover of Angel Evolution the best. It sort of stands out so very much. And the light around the wings makes it seem as if it has a bit of an ethereal glow. The book and the trilogy sounds amazing. It's definitely something that has caught my interest. Thanks for the giveaway. I hope to get to read the book some day soon.

Hey David. Great to see another American escaping and moving down to our great land of Oz. Your series sounds very interesting and well worth checking out. I wish you good luck with them.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the covers, I had made my choice before I got to the comments section, and discovered we all seem to have the same great taste! Definitely Angel Evolution is #1. It's very striking, with the glow of the white feathers, and almost surreal. Gorgeous even...
The next best is Archangel Evolution, which I rather like as well, mainly as the wings are nicely silhouetted with an attractive purple like glow. Kind of like the first but in negative.
Unfortunately I quite dislike Demon Evolution. Yes I get that it's darker, presumably like the story. However the whole picture is too dark, and there isn't enough contrast. The colours are OK, but you've lost all definition of the angel feathers etc. If someone hadn't seen the first book, it wouldn't be as obvious that the image is of an angel. Well I assume thats what it's meant to be.
So there you go, one great one, one nice one, and a miss. Not too bad, but even having said that, at least I can say that the covers do look professional. Compared to many titles I see these days with ghastly artwork...
Anyway, all the best again mate!

Thanks for all the feedback so far! I should mention that my cover artist is the amazing Claudia McKinney at Phatpuppyart (she's done many of Amanda Hocking's covers), although the credit for the concept goes completely to my wife :) The custom font design on the word Evolution and the rest of the font designs is by my good friends at Winkipop Designs here in Sydney. Best of luck and I'll let you know in a couple of weeks whether you've won!
ReplyDeleteI like Angel Evolution the best because it just makes me think of angels more. I think it's the brightness of the cover as opposed to the other two that makes me think of light and good. I DO like the other two covers, though, I just like the first one best :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the awesome giveaway!

I can't really decide between Angel Evolution and Archangel Evolution. But if I have to choose, I would choose Angel Evolution. The art concept just worked perfectly with theme of the story. Besides, angels are often associated with glowing light.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the release of your new trilogy! I like the cover for Demon Evolution the best. I realize that it is book two of the series, so it will give me something to look forward to!

Thanks to the new giveaway entrants. Two more for Angel Evolution and finally we have our first vote for Demon Evolution, thanks Dorothy! My wife was inspired to come up with the concept for the cover for Demon Evolution when she was walking around Sydney (where we live) and saw an old-looking archway outside of a post office on George Street. My cover artist did an amazing job of bringing the idea to life :)
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteI like the cover for the Demon Evolution the best, the darkness always surrounds the demons and the dark against the red is wonderful

Claudia McKinney is a book cover genius! I'm a huge fan of her work. Your covers are no exception. They are gorgeous! I think my favorite would be Archangel Evolution.I love how the colors blend. It looks very innocent with a little darkness hidden inside. thank you for this giveaway! Your books sound amazing!

I think I like the cover of Angel Evolution best because the silver wings look lovely against the glowing blue background.

I really love the Archangel Evolution cover because its purple and the colors are so soft and pale.
ReplyDeleteI'm like the Demon and Angel covers. I feel they properly represent their titles.

I'm having a tough time deciding between Demon Evolution and Archangel Evolution. I really love how dark and foreboding the Demon cover is, but I love the light purple and keyhole effect of Archangel.

I like Angel Evolution the best but all three of the covers are wonderful. Angel Evolution really strikes out the most, I love the glowing aura surrounding the wings. Brilliant concept.
