Maria Picks on Covers Again

Okay, okay, I shouldn’t do this, especially with me about to do a cover poll in less than a month. I could be setting myself up for a huge and ugly payback…

But yanno, I just gotta say that if I was going into combat and I was wearing a leather holster, surely there is a more comfortable outfit than a bra??? Seems to me that the holster thing (there’s a barely visible holster looking thing that is either part of the bra or some sort of thing wrapped around the back to hold guns. Or swords?) is going to rub skin raw. But maybe there was an emergency and the heroine jumped out of bed, grabbed her pants, her gun…and yes, of course, instead of throwing on a shirt on to cover up, she wasted time putting on a bra. That’s what I would do, no doubt! Do I need to mention she is yet another model sitting in that seriously ridiculous pose? I need to spend more time at the shooting range. Obviously I am missing the latest in balanced shooting positions.

Don’t be mad. I actually have the first in this series (Under Wraps) on my wish list as a possible TBB (to be bought.) Although she kinda looks likes she’s in a modern-day corset thing in the first. These covers do not help sales people! Stop having women fighting in their underwear!!!

I was much more inclined to buy the above book after I saw this ugly cover:

Okay, either the guy has a really bad 3rd degree burn or he is suffering from some other nasty looking skin disease. Or maybe the lady behind him hurled?

Looking closer, maybe it’s a parasite under his skin crawling along…I mean seriously gross.

  1. Some of these covers just crack me up. The way she is sitting/squatting on that first cover looks like she is on the lookout for a port a potty.

    And as for the skin condition on the second…ew.
