Cover for Sarah Davis-Goff's LAST ONES LEFT ALIVE. It's a simple of a dirt road with larger trees on the left side and it's more bush like on the right. The author's name is in red above the title. There's a giant X in the middle of the picture, and the title's words are in each triangular space in the X.

Cover for Wendy Webb's THE VANISHING. A large Victorian house (I think, I don't build houses) is smack dab in the middle. The sky is dark with storm clouds.

Cover for Carly Reagon's THE TOLL HOUSE. There's some old-timey wallpaper in the back ground, with a black candle burning in front of it. The candle sits on what looks like a bar napkin, and there are some keys leaning against it.

Cover for Mark Matthews' LET ME OUT I'VE HAD ENOUGH. It features a woman who's blue/green in color, but her mouth and the large cut on her neck are an electric red. She's leaning back into more red.

A not so humble brag over a review of KALI'S WEB that gave a 4.5 rather than 5 star.

"The one lone flaw is the intensity of the subject might be a bit too deep for some to stomach"
