Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Star Crossed Captive by J.E. McDonald. A scruffy shirtless man in space. He is turned away from us and looking of his shoulder. It looks like he's wearing black dress slacks and has a big ol' juicy booty. The background is space with a big glowing space station in the back.

From Jen: Maybe it’s me but this head does not look natural on this body.

Sarah: Definitely not the head that body came with. Also, is that the dude from Downton Abbey?

Elyse: Looks like Sebastian Stan to me.

Maya: It looks like BBL Spaceman had one too many surgeries.

His Darkest Desire by Tiffany Roberts. A green glowing forest. A greenish gray man with long dark hair and dark green, translucent, veiny wings has his arms wrapped about a curvy woman. She has wavy, light brown hair and is wearing a light blue bikini top and matching, gauzy skirt. Glowing blue jellyfish are floating around them.

Sneezy: Why is his left hand in a different plane of existence than the rest of everything? Are push-up bras in fashion again? Where did her legs go? Are those flying jellyfish? Inquiring minds want to know

Shana: I wish more covers incorporated flying jellyfish.

Sarah: I too am most curious about the glowy flying jellyfish! Like, are they buddies? Do they follow the Cursed One around like little night lights?

The Balance of Fates by Raquel Raelynn. An illustrated cover. The background is a full moon behind a multicolored fall of water. One woman has a blonde bob. She has on a red dress with thin straps and a long chain necklace. Her arms are around the woman in front. That woman is Black with afro style hair with a gilded headband. She has on a blue and silver long-sleeved dress. Her hair is producing swirling streams of light.

Shana: Something is wrong with their bodies but I can’t put my finger on what…

Elyse: They look like mannequins.

Sarah: The one on the right has a very very long sternum.

And the hand on the shoulder seems detached? Not touching anything?

Katee Roberts quoted someone when I interviewed her saying that looking for AI in a cover is like trying to see the fae.

That’s how this feels.

One is Never Enough by Kali Noir. A very red and smoky cover. There's just a headless and shirtless man, but he's positioned upside down, as if he's lying on his back and lifting his hips up at an angle. He appears to be struggling to pull his pants off. He's also covered in water droplets.

From Kareni: Here is a cover to consider for cover snark. Frankly, I have a difficult time figuring out what I am looking at.

Sarah: WHEEEEEEEE!

Elyse: Does he have to pee? Is that why he’s pulling on his pants?
