About the book:

Seventeen year-old Maggie Brown is the poster child for Heroin Chic, complete with jutting bones and dark-ringed eyes. But drugs are not Maggie's problem; her mother is. Maggie's struggling with her growing feelings for the new guy at school, Seth Prescott, and fears he is just another person who will let her down, like everyone in her life has done so far. Seth Prescott is an undercover cop assigned to Port Fare High, and despite his job, he's developed strong feelings for Maggie. While Seth's working tirelessly to flush out the sadistic drug peddlers that have invaded the small town of Port Fare, New York, Maggie's fighting to stay alive as the fight turns deadly.

 

Cover Love:

I think this cover is haunting and eerie and has the potential to be wonderful! But... The girl on the swing kind of ruins it for me. I find her a little random and out of place. Like the designers tried a little too hard to make her look creepy and make her stick out. She does pop out, just not in a great way. I think the random crow is the best part. I find crows creepy, so it works. 

The whole foggy river like atmosphere is so breathtaking that it's a real shame that the girl ruined it. 

My other big problem with the cover is this:

 

 

Does it not look like both covers have used the same girl? The legs are a little different, and the dress and hair, but other than that it's pretty much the same. I really don't like it when people reuse covers. Can't people take a little extra time to make the cover a bit more unique? Grrrrr! Pet peeve, sorry guys! 

I do like the cover, I just wish the girl was more original and fit better.

Sooo. What do you guys think of duplicate covers? Yay or nay?
