Cover Wars: Shadow Hills versus The Dark Divine

Hello and welcome to another installment of...
Cover Wars!
(inspired by Kate's Throwdown Thursday at The Neverending Shelf)

Cover Wars is a weekly post occurring every Monday at Book Faery.  Two covers will have a "face off," and it will be up to the readers to decide who is the victor and who is the loser.  This is a great way for readers to have their voice be heard, while also promoting new/old books in the process.





Last week on Cover Wars, we had a face off between Red Hot Fury by Kasey Mackenzie and The Breeder by Eden Bradley.
 
Last week's face-off was pretty close, but ultimately, one triumphed over the other:

The Breeder


Week 4:
Shadow Hills vs. The Dark Divine
 
Another set of YA books (since they appear to be more popular).

Shadow Hills The Dark Divine

Soo... which is it?

    I usually have a hard time picking, but this time I'd go with The Dark Divine, no questions asked!

    The Dark Divine is one book I bought because of the cover. The Dark Divine get my vote.

    The Dark Divine's coloring is much prettier, and I like the legs sticking out. Shadow Hills is just kinda swirly and orange and boring.

    It's so interesting how similar many covers are! I have to go with The Dark Divine. I love the purple though the bone-white of the legs is freaky.

    Hi,
    The Dark Divine...
    One of those covers that causes you to do a double take and even then I am sure some miss what is actually there..
    Great cover!

    I'm more a fan of purples and blues and shades like that instead of yellows and oranges so I'm going to immediately like Dark Divine better. But then let's take the actual picture... a girl's legs with a flowing purple dress or a whisp of smoke/flame? I'd definitely pick the girl with the dress because I wanna know... is this girl dead? alive? a ghost? supernatural? a whisp of smoke is... er, a whisp of smoke. not much to be had there. i'm not a fan of the shadow hill cover but I have seen worse and will still buy the book, but eh.... they could've done a better job.

    DARK DIVINE ftw!!!

    Great cover choices! ^^ I'm actually torn with this one, since both are equally eye-catching for me. They're both minimalistic with bold accent colors which is nice. The font choices are good too, although The Dark Divine's is a bit better. I do love cool colors more though and so, even though the purple nail polish bothered me a bit (I do love purple nail polish, just didn't look right with the cover, I guess), my final vote still goes to 'The Dark Divine'! c:

    The Dark Divine! Something about the color scheme is more interesting for me.
