About the book:

The trees swallowed her brother whole. And Jenny was there to see it. Years later, when she returns to the woods where Tom was taken to say good-bye at last, she finds herself lured into a world where stunning beauty masks the most treacherous of evils, and strange and dangerous creatures await—creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with allegiances that shift as much as his moods. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack’s help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where nothing is what it seems, no one is who they say, and she’s faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice—and not just her own.

Cover Love:

I love, love, love the flowers on this cover! By far my favorite part, and what I find the most eye catching.  I also really like the light shining out from between the trees.  The trees in the background rather creep me out a bit, as does the cover model. I'm not quite sure if she's supposed to look a little fake or not, but she does.

This cover is not overly stunning, but the flowers really make it for me. I just wish, with a title like The Treachery of Beautiful Things they made the cover a little more beautiful overall.
