Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl are currently on the Beautiful Creatures Book Tour around the U.S. so I thought it would be an appropriate theme for the next Book Covers Around the World!

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she’s struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps, and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town’s oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

United States & Canada

Just to start it off, I thought this was an AMAZING cover when I first came upon it. The script was eye-opening and how it matched with the trees around it was stunning.



French (Translation: 'Sixteen Moons')

Out of all the covers this one was my favorite. I think it represents innocence of a person coming of age and not knowing what to expect (I think because it reminds me of the rain scene from 'Disneys: Bambi')



United Kingdom/Australia/New Zealand

This cover is similar to the US/Canada one with the difference being in the 3-D of the script. It really makes the title POP!



Italy (Translation: 'Sixteenth Moon')



Poland (Translation: 'Beautiful Nature')



Spain



Thailand

These two covers are really interesting. I like how they are a more literal explanation of what happens in the book with the moon and locket.

Which cover was your favorite? Least favorite?

Which cover encompassed the story the best?

My favorite cover is the US and Canada version. I really like the font used and how it matches the trees in the background.

I think Thailand covers encompassed the story the best out of all the covers.
