Throwdown Thursday is a weekly thing (hosted by the Neverending Shelf & thanks to All Things Urban Fantasy who opened my eyes to it) where we tackle books with similar characters, covers, themes, etc. to determine which one rocks more. It is up to YOU to determine the winner.
Joey W. Hill's and Tracy Wolff's US cover art for The Mark of the Vampire Queen and Tie Me Down, were the spotlight of last weeks Throwdown.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week, another pairing of book covers is up for debate in the form of Karen Chance's first installment of the Dorina Basarab series, Midnight's Daughter.
In a first installment cover art comparison, where does your preference lie?
With the US design?
'Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. So far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing.
Now Dory’s vampire father has come back into her life. Her uncle Dracula (yes, the Dracula) infamous even among vampires for his cruelty and murderous ways, has escaped his prison. And her father wants Dory to work with the gorgeous master vampire Louis-Cesare to put him back there.
Vampires and dhampirs are mortal enemies, and Dory prefers to work alone. But Dracula is the only thing on earth that truly scares her, and when Dory has to go up against him, she’ll take all the help she can get . . .'
Or . . . . the German?
I don't know about you guys but the German title translated, "Seduced demonic" cracks me up bad. It fits in it's own way after having read the book.
This Throwdown will remain open until 4th August 2010.

Well, I like the German cover better, due to the background. I just love the curves and shapes. It grabs the attention and draws me in.
