The Friday Face-Off is a meme originally created by Books by Proxy and now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.

This week is a freebie – a chance for me to pick a favourite book, no holds barred.

For this I decided to pick one of my favourite books that I read this year – The Girl Before by JP Delaney.

Cover A:

Cover B:

Cover C:

Cover D:

Cover E:

Cover F:

And the winner is… COVER F!

This cover fits the premise of the book perfectly in my opinion. It’s bleak and stark and minimalist like the house at the centre of the story, and the shadow of the female could allude to the past or present occupant.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next weeks’ theme is a cover that is fresh: New Beginnings for a New Year.
