Cover Wars: Asylum vs Cruel Beauty

Cover Wars is a weekly showdown of two of YA's most beautiful covers. The winner, as voted by you, goes on to face a new cover, and wins bragging rights. This is basically a fun way to discuss what we like in YA covers.

Last week, Cruel Beauty pulled out another convincing win. This week, it's Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge up against a new cover: Asylum by Madeleine Roux.


Cruel Beauty has been steamrolling the competition. Will that trend continue against Asylum? Asylum is creepy and dark, with some beautiful gothic elements. Cruel Beauty is a seductive: from the colour red, to the rose, it's a cover meant to draw people in. 

Which cover do you find more beautiful? It's your turn to vote now!

  1. Rooting for Cruel Beauty in this its third week still-love that cover! Having trouble with the poll though-it doesn't seem to go through.

    1. Sorry about that but the poll is up and running now. Cruel Beauty's been sweeping the competition so far but I wonder if the darker (and much creepier) cover of Asylum will prove as good competition.

  2. My initial reaction was all for Cruel Beauty, but on closer inspection, the fonts & detailing on Asylum are just too interesting. I'm having the same problem though; clicking "Vote" doesn't seem to do anything.

    1. Sorry about, it's fixed now. Your right Asylum has one of those cover that holds my attention while I inspect it to see if it's giving away more than one can see at first inspection.
