My Choice: His Fair Assassin Series
This was actually a super hard topic! My first thought was Nevernight because Mia joins the Red “Church” but I think I have done it before. Next I thought of Robin Hood but I couldn’t find a cover with Friar tuck. Next was The Scarlet Letter but again, I couldn’t find a cover with the reverend. I finally decided on His Fair Assassin Series. I couldn’t pick which book in the series I wanted to do so I will feature all three!
They may not look like people of the cloth, but they are part of a covenant of assassins that serve the god of death. I love this series!

I have never been particular picky about matching series in the book I own, but it seems super odd to me that there are so many missing editions. I would love to see the 1st and 3rd book in the same style as the Russian Edition!!

So I really like the font of the first one, but I don’t like the little swirls they added! And I really like the last one, but there is only one so I can’t really judge it as a series!
Winner:
I haven’t read this series, but I keep seeing them everywhere lately and I really want to pick them up soon. I love the new covers too ❤️

These are all so pretty, and I think they’re even more gorgeous when the books are placed together as a set! Love the winners you chose, and I think I have to agree even though I typically prefer people covers!
