They say that you shouldn't judge a a book by its cover, but I can't help it. I LOVE the cover of this book. I would pick it up and probably buy it without even reading the synopsis. Once I got out the bookstore (my local bookstore only of course--no chains for me!) i would read the synopsis...I love this genre and can't wait to get home and read it...the only thing stopping me is that I have to finish the book I'm reading first
