Well, I Googled Casa de Sticla and one of the reviews said Twilight fans would love it. Wouldn't exactly call that interchangeable with a novel as compelling as The Red Tree. Covers, maybe, but definitely not books.
Weird, huh? At least the model's got her jacket on properly in yours. And the whole thing probably does suit the Rachel Caine book more (though I've never read it).
Stock photos for covers are becoming more and more common, sadly. It gets commented on a lot on various romance blogs.
But this is worse than a stock photo.
When the cover for The Red Tree was in production, several mock-ups would have been made for the editors to choose one from. This is one of the covers for The Red Tree that wasn't chosen.
it's pretty damn cheesy to tweak and reuse the image, though i think it reflects poorly on the other novel, not the red tree which was published first!
It was a shitty, inappropriate cover to begin with. That it's reused, and so not even my shitty inappropriate cover is insult to injury.
no argument here. a much better cover would have been a simple white page with "the red tree" on it as if it was just typed on an actual typewriter and perhaps surrounded by red oak leaves...

At first, I thought I was looking at a foreign version of The Red Tree. It took me a moment to realize that was a different book.
We've sunk so far that books and covers are interchnageable.

Probably. I don't write that crap.

I guess the artist sold a series of covers, and they're spreading them out across the world...

I've written my editor to find out if this was done with Penguin's permission.
