I think it's much, much creepier than the UK edition. <br /><br />Academy: I find it pretty hard to look at these objectively, because I have covers that are almost the US covers and I'm so used to them that the UK cover just looks fake. That said, I think if I hadn't seen them before, I'd prefer the UK cover. I like to be able to imagine how the characters look myself and I just love the image of that rose with the thorns.Mierkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609800255974647205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-26113950388415118402011-12-05T21:15:01.505+00:002011-12-05T21:15:01.505+00:00I have to go with the U.S. cover for Vampire Stalk...I have to go with the U.S. cover for Vampire Stalker. The background reflects the environment in which the story takes place. The book is set in the city, not the woods. I like the girl on the U.K. cover, but overall it just doesn't work for me.<br /><br />I prefer the U.K. cover for Vampire Academy, though. It's not that I love the red cover so much, but that I too hate Angelina Jolie, and see her every time I've ever looked at that cover. Blah. So definitely the U.K. :0)Aravishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766002202567429153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-22558106200146171902011-12-05T19:21:27.848+00:002011-12-05T19:21:27.848+00:00U.S for 1 and U.K for 2U.S for 1 and U.K for 2hernameisavrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070048884354305093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-2132104981018323842011-12-05T17:56:06.864+00:002011-12-05T17:56:06.864+00:00I'm not a big fan of close ups of faces on the...I'm not a big fan of close ups of faces on the covers of books so for VA I would definitely go with the UK cover. I also like teh blood at the top of the book and the black rose motif.<br /><br />I prefer the US for the Vampire Stalker though - the red book in the girl's hand and the creepy street just appeak much more to me! :-)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232105105688358961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-10300317788922750492011-12-05T14:07:49.577+00:002011-12-05T14:07:49.577+00:00UK for Vampire Stalker but idk for Vamp Academy, i...UK for Vampire Stalker but idk for Vamp Academy, i much prefer the original UK covers, I hate these Red ones and I was so annoyed when they only brought Last Sacrifice out in the red cover.

I think the US cover for Vampire Stalker is original and draws you in, the UK one is creepy but I don't like it as much as the other one.<br />I've never gotten used to the re-designed UK covers for the Vampire Academy Series, I don't like the colors and compostition and the blood looks a tad too fake. I don't picture Rose like the cover-model on the US cover, but I like the cover anyway.evening-greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059249111614085129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-67843339115541099322011-12-05T12:42:47.201+00:002011-12-05T12:42:47.201+00:00I'm going with the UK for both covers although...I'm going with the UK for both covers although I'm not a big fan of either of the Vampire Academy covers...

And it's a no brainer for Vampire Academy.

It's much more simple. As for Vampire Academy, I don't particularly like the UK covers. I prefer the US ones. I don't like cover models sometimes because it's all the same with YA books, but I love this cover model. She was how I pictured Rose. And she reminds me of Angelina Jolie . . . whom I love. :)Erin W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057902364536764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-74212204207942798962011-12-05T09:57:48.571+00:002011-12-05T09:57:48.571+00:00Personally I don't like the vampire stalker co...Personally I don't like the vampire stalker covers at all.

The girl doesn't fit the characteristics of the Rose described in the book.The More the Merrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425601038434831567noreply@blogger.com
