Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Ember and Steel by Donna Morgan. An outline of a woman, but she is on fire and a sword is piercing her chest.

From Maeve: Her bra sheath slipped. The angle’s also wrong to go through her heart. And no arms? The longer I look at this, the more wrong it feels.

Sarah: I know what I’m looking at but everything looks slightly…off.

Amanda: An accurate depiction of my acid reflux.

Sarah: Gosh, mine, too. Yikes.

Some Bunny to Love by Lorelei Hart and Aria Grace. A headless shirtless man is holding a photoshopped bunny in his hand, which is coincidentally right as his waistline.

From Jen: Not sure what’s wrong with this cover but it’s just wrong.

Sarah: That is some terrible photoshop. I’m appalled on behalf of rabbits everywhere.

Tara: Sir, step away from that bunny.

Sarah: I think the face was photoshopped in and it’s giving me the jibblies with a level 10 ick.

Evading Miran by RK Munin. A bright green shirtless man wielding a blaster pistol in space. His hair looks like a 3D printed bright blue spiky shell.

From Syntha: What in the horrible photoshopped hair is this?

Sarah: Who stole the armor off an armadillo for that guy’s head? What a photoshop crime!

Susan: Should – should we tell him his armour’s crooked? He’s got to know, right

Elyse: His hair looks like a 3D printed fidget toy.

Pasties and Poor Decisions by Molly Harper. An illustrated cover with two faceless people. The man has a beard and is wearing a long red button down and jeans. He has a toolbox in his hand. A faceless blonde woman stands opposite him in a dark orange skirt and light orange tank.

From Tara C: I opened my Audible app this morning to see Molly Harper’s Pasties and Poor Decisions being sold to me. I love Molly Harper, and the title has a lot of potential. But my brain is having trouble processing the color choices and the poor woman’s face. And her skirt and the sample-sized tool box.

Sarah: MORE ICK. What is with the faceless folks with lips and/or beards? It’s kinda creeping me out.

Also, the part where the letters don’t line up is making me twitchy.

Elyse: Beard no eyes is a look.

Sarah: Beard and Brows. The only look you need.
