SO I probably should have spent longer on this, but this is what I came up with.

Oh wow :D Oh wow, oh wow, (and you guessed it:) Oh wow. It looks splendid, the font you've used is better than what I had in mind if I'm perfectly honest. And... YES! You've spelt my name right! I think I love you right now, I know I said how to spell my name but so many people still get it wrong (even best friends). I think this is a deffinate contender, although you're the only entry so far.
I love the coulors, they're very much what I asked for if a little cold BUT I feel that it works. Oddly enough, the picture you've used is similar to a contraption that crops up in the story itself a number of times.

A huge thank you, love Beth x

The 3 is a little cut off, I don't know if YWS did that when you uploaded it or if it's just like that, just thought I'd point it out, because it's something I did notice. The positioning of the authors name is odd, not quite in the middle, not quite at the bottom. I don't think it gives it much effect, it looks a tad sloppy. I feel like it would look better if it were places at the bottom of the cover. I don't know if it's just some weird optical illusion, or if I can't see tonight, but it looks like the title and the author's name are different colours. The title appears to be a bit more on the grey side. Might look better if it were the same colour. Other than that, the font was a good choice and I really liked the image you used for the background, it's rather intriguing. I do hope this helped!

I say Wolf, for all wolves are not of the same sort; there is one kind with an amenable disposition – neither noisy, nor hateful, nor angry, but tame, obliging and gentle, following the young maids in the streets, even into their homes. Alas! Who does not know that these gentle wolves are of all such creatures the most dangerous!
