LKH’s cover is….creepy. I like her old covers better. At the same time, the older covers were so innocent. At least know you know what you’re getting into *cough* Anita teh homicidal whore with a ginormous harem *cough* with a naked chick on the cover.
You are totally right. It is a complete change from the old style. It is both sort of attractive and kind of slutty at the same time. Interesting dynamic.
This cover seems like a departure from the more recent ones with tools (scissors, screw, etc.) I didn’t care for the tool ones. I liked the earlier ones that looked kind of sensual–seemed to fit the series. But the early/early ones before those seemed dated.
Are they redoing all the covers again to match this new style? I’m guessing the tools covers were not a hit.
Maybe they are going for a more gritty, sexy look? I haven’t read the series myself, so I am not really sure which fits better.
I personally love Anita Blake novels.. Im interested in seeing what else she has coming.
I do know that there is a 21st Anita Blake book due out June 5th, but she hasn’t released the name, as yet.
