  • The cover of The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains, by Reena McCarty The background is a night sky, dark blue on top, fading down to a bright blue behind a mountain range. There is a little peek of sun or moon behind the mountains, and a stone circle in the foreground at the bottom. The bulk of the cover is a slightly stained scroll that has the title, The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains, written in two different fonts. The scroll is surrounded by and almost holding back a bunch of plants and flowers–pine branches and cones, balsamroots, lupines, and prairie rockets, along with things like chokecherries, huckleberries, and morels. There are also a few other things in the border–a bronze dagger, a salt shaker, a spoon, and a pen, along with a scattering of iron nails.

  • Two people are facing one another. On the left, a tall man with long, wavy brown hair with primroses in it. He wears a plaid in various shades of green with leafy embellishments. He’s smiling down at the woman, gently holding her chin with his thumb. The woman on the right has long, tawny hair tied halfway back with a thin ribbon, a white rose behind her left ear. She wears a long sleeved dress in a sandy color and holds a basket full of flower in the crook of her arm. She is looking up at the man. The two are surrounded by rose bushes in pastel colors. The image is framed in black with an intricate bronze border. In the foreground there is the title in white letters with purple borders: “My Thorns For Your Roses” with the author’s name “Kristen Argyres” below. In small text above the woman, next to the man’s head are the words “The Cairnwood Reel Series.”

The title, Don't Tell Me How It Ends, lies within that pink square, and is written in capitalized white block font, which is also made to look like paint strokes. Below the title, an illustrated Black man and woman of varying skin tones embrace, wearing dark colored casual clothing. To their left, the author's name, Adrienne Thurman, is in a white handwriting font, as are the words, "A Novel" just to the couple's right. Along the top border of the cover, in block letters of the deepest shade of orange, the tagline reads, "No spoilers. Just sparks."

  • A boy in profile view, the focus zoomed in on his head and shoulders as he falls against a teal background. The boy has his eyes closed, with pale skin and dark brown hair that seems to ripple as he falls. Other items fall around him: a microphone, newspapers (including one that reads, MOTHER POISONS HER SON), and a pillbox with pills falling out. The whole scene has a sort of glitched out quality to it, with portions of Alex and the falling items blurring into rainbow static.
