The cover features a dimly lit, eerie forest shrouded in fog, with twisted trees creating shadowy patterns. In the foreground, a girl reminiscent of Elena from Vampire Diaries Season 1, with chocolate brown, slightly wavy hair and blonde highlights, is gazing upward, capturing a sense of wonder and trepidation. Behind her stands a young boy, with striking dark brown hair and hazel eyes, cautiously looking around, indicating alertness. A vague shadow lurks in the background, adding to the suspense. An abandoned playground, barely visible, occupies the corner, hinting at forgotten stories and childhood innocence lost.

The title's distressed serif typography speaks to the suspense and eerie nature of the thriller genre, while the sans-serif font for the author's name provides clarity and modernity. The layout strategically places key elements—characters front and center, shadows ominously in the background, and the abandoned playground as a corner intrigue—to direct the eye and build a narrative. Finally, using matte finish paper for its ability to mute glare enhances the dark, moody tones of the forest, with subtle gloss on text to ensure that titles and names stand out, tailoring the physical sensation of the book to its mysterious themes.

A striking cover featuring a 17-year-old Black girl with straight jet-black hair and golden caramel skin. She stands with a confident and resilient posture, facing the viewer. Surrounding her, pages appear to peel away and float upwards from an open book set at her feet, symbolizing her past challenges fading into the background. The background is a soft gradient transitioning from darker tones at the bottom to lighter, hopeful hues at the top, suggesting growth and moving forward.

The gradient background underscores the transition from a past of chaos to a brighter future. The chosen typography—bold and sans-serif for the title, paired with a modern serif for the author’s name—provides an aesthetic balance between strength and elegance. This is complemented by the soft-touch matte material, which gives the book a sophisticated feel, while the spot gloss on the text ensures that the title and author’s name stand out, making it a memorable and attractive design.

The cover features a girl resembling Elena from the first season of "Vampire Diaries" with a round face and chocolate brown hair accented with blonde highlights, staring enigmatically up at a stormy sky. Positioned a little behind her, a boy with dark brown hair and piercing hazel eyes scans the eerie, fog-laden surroundings. The sinister woods envelop them, their feet shrouded in mist, adding layers of suspense and fear. In the background looms an indistinct shadow, hauntingly vague yet palpable, and off to one corner, the dilapidated structure of an abandoned playground adds an unsettling touch of nostalgia amidst the gloom.
