This one is weird....... I like them and think they have nice covers, but there is something off in every one.
For example, I like the cover for "Onyx & Ivory", but the way the title is keeps making think it's call Qnyx (couldn't they have made it so the o and i didn't overlap).
Anyway it's little things like that. Unlike previous contests where I liked them and then had to nitpick to choose, these I picked out my problems with them immediately.
They are nice covers, they are not bad at all...... but if I'm going to be honest, they are not all that great either. They do lean on the better side of good though.

I have a hard time voting on covers. I think the cover should summarize the story without giving it away, and having not read any of these i couldn't make a fair and educated choice.
Onyx & Ivory received my vote. I love the stark contrast and how mysterious it is. The tree itself is eerily beautiful. However, my second choice was definitely Furyborn (not sure if it's meant to be one word or two).
The Queen underneath! So mysterious and the contrast with the ombre to the stark black and gold. The symbol in the centre invites you in, it feels like something you would only understand once you've read the book, and the way that the golden thorn branches warn you of danger but still lure you in... And don't even get me started on the title font! Love it.
