White witch Rachel Morgan has been a bounty hunter for Inderland Security for the last three years and it's been a constant bumbling battle for good assignments to prove her worth. She's become bored and disillusioned with the job and she wants out. Problem is, retiring from I.S. means a swift and sure retirement from life. The I.S. doesn't take kindly to broken contracts.

She's got a risky idea that may get her around that, though...if she lives long enough to see it through. Rachel figures that if she can tag the largest brimstone dealer in the Hollows and Cincinnati area, she'll be able to get her contract paid off. However, getting the evidence to bring him down will be far from easy.

With the help of her pixy bodyguard and her living vampire roommate, she may just succeed. If she can quit getting caught. (From Amazon)


United States


German (Translation: "Blood Trail")
This cover is very 'eye-capturing', no pun intended, and the translation makes this book sound very dark.


French (Translation: "Witch for the Scoffold")
Very similar to the US version, but Rachel is portrayed in a more sexy way

Italian (Translation: "Kiss of Midnight")
I think this cover really encompasses the typical strong, Italian female.

United Kingdom
This cover has a "Kill Bill" vibe.

Japan Volume 1 & 2


Dutch

Hugarian
I really love this cover, it depicts Rachel in a very hostile environment but she is showing her cool.


Russian
This cover is really interesting with the talons surrounding her in a dangerous situation.


Spanish (Translation: "Bad Witches Never Die")
This cover really pulls you in because of the expression on her face.


Which are your favorite and least favorite covers and why?

Which ones do you feel represent the story the best and worst and why?

I think my favorite covers have to be the German ,Hugarian, and Spanish.

I really dont think the US covers gives Rachel any justice. The other covers give Rachel a sexy feel, that the US one does not.

I also like the spanish translation.

I love the Japanese version!  Really how cute is that?  Also the Spanish is great, it gives Rachel sex appeal.  The American version really does not give her that.  So I guess that I agree with Alovethatsnotsupposedtobe.  Kim Harrison is a super author~ super friendly and kind.  Her facebook site is really nice.

I Love how friendly Kim Harrison is! All the freebies she gives away and the halloween contests. One of the most involved (with fans) authors I know of!
