HER LAST SECRET makeover + GIVEAWAY #booklove #ThePerfectFriend #mustreads #HerLastSecret #psychologicalthriller

The makeover fairies at Bookouture have waved their magic wands over HER LAST SECRET – and come up with this incredible new cover. What do you think? I absolutely LOVE it. The ice-cold blue catches my eye and draws me in, and there is something so sinister about the branches reaching across the image, hemming the woman in until it feels claustrophobic. Whatever her secret is, it’s all-consuming and terrible, the cover seems to be telling me…

Covers are so important to me, and I firmly believe they make a difference to readers, too. What do you think? For example, when I saw the cover of THE PERFECT FREIND, I couldn’t have been happier – not just because it’s an eye-catching yellow, but of the way it so cleverly encapsulates the atmosphere of the content.

The title is The Perfect Friend, but of course things are never going to be that simple in a psychological thriller. The colour captures the brilliant friendship at the heart of the book, but look closer at the shade of yellow chosen, and it’s slightly deeper than sunshine, hinting at the clouds that will soon be rolling in, and the storm ahead. The woman stands with her back to the reader, oblivious to the danger coming her way, and the fact she is viewed through the smashed hole in the picture gives an almost voyeuristic feel. Someone is watching her. 

Then of course there is the sinister fracture running through the entire image, including the title itself, splintering reality for the characters involved. Finally, the clever touch of red in the tagline acts as a siren of danger. This is echoed in the new cover for Her Last Secret.
