There is something about this book cover that I am unable to escape. As I navigate to different book related sites, this cover appears repeatedly and I am enamored of it each time. I have no interesting in reading this book, but I can speculate as to why it catches my eye each time I see.

First, the gold. The overall coloring of the cover draws me in. It must be a color of peace for me.

Secondly, the clothing of the featured character is enticing. I'm a fan of Silver and Golden Age clothing, not to mention that she is a pilot and a horse trainer.

Thirdly, the demeanor of the character has a strong, even hardened sex appeal. There is no doubt this woman could be a tough customer for whatever man she is bound to encounter.

Fourthly, there is the tree in the background which also shows us that the African landscape features heavily in the novel. It reminds me of golden backdrops, safaris, graceful animals, and savage beasts.

This is just my two cents about a cover, not a book, which has made its mark on me.

What do you think?

I'm always a fan of strong females on book covers!

I think it stands out as well in that it's a full portrait vs all the 'woman on cover' tropes most of which do not show the woman's full face.
