This is such a simple, beautiful cover.

The image is chosen perfectly to convey that teenage combination of truculence and vulnerability. The angle of her head also suggests yearning or seeking.

The unusual font has real stand-out on the cold background and gives the book a sense of warmth and potential humour.

The dots around the title are inspired. What a great way to add an element of childishness, implying that this is a story about an innocent in an adult world.

This cover makes Cold Light into a genuine object of desire — I wanted to own it the moment I saw it.
