One other fun thing you notice throughout the year is the trends you see in cover designs. Two trends really stand out in these second quarter books. First, there is a lot of use of red. Second, between the natural world and the artificial world, there is an attractive juxtaposition in many of these many covers.

Find some of the most interesting, visually surprising, and best book covers from 2025 this year, up to the second quarter of the year. These covers are exclusively for adult fiction, as they have a whole cover of non-fiction, YA, intermediate and children’s books. The covers of these books also do not include the covers of books from their short story collections, despite being some of the best in the world of design. Do not include them. This is because you can check out this summary of the best book covers of the 2025 new collection of short stories.

All covers featured here are for books released between April 1st and June 30th, 2025. I did my best to track my credits. You can also check out the covers of the best books of the first quarter of this year.

Ae Osworth awakens, cover designed by Caitlin Sacks, illustrations by Andreea Dumuta

The three main colors on this cover are not complementary to each other, but rather the harsh use of bright orange and pink dark blue/purple in the title. But the real star here is all the central summons made to look hyper-realistic in bold colours.

Despite looking totally different in many ways, this cover reminds me of Quan Barry’s vibe I’m on the stick. It’s fun and captures the tone of the book well.

Bad Nature Book Cover

Ariel Courage’s Bad Nature, Emily Mahal’s Cover Design

The title font here is something you can’t remember seeing previously on the book’s cover, and it gives a vintage feel that brings a little more broad color scheme. The fat lettering and circles on the counter (i.e., the spaces inside B, A, D, and RS) add unique weight to the cover that combines nicely with the dark red color in the lower half of the design.

For covers that are not much progressing from an image perspective, there is a lot of movement in them. Looking at the top of the flower, the top part of the red leaned against the title “u.” You can feel the breeze blowing.

Dark Maestro Book Cover

Dark Maestro by Brendan Slocumb

In the case of a thriller about a classical musician forced to protect witnesses, the central image here tells almost every story in a simple but exciting way. The colour scheme here works well, as does the line movement that separates the blue bottom half of the cover and the colored yellow top half.

The design here has an old school feel. It is totally reminiscent of Colson Whitehead’s hardcover design Harem Shuffle. This is probably intentional, as the two books make Alikes a pretty good read.

Endering of the book cover

Endel by Maria Reva

Compare covers ending So Dark Maestro On top of that. The covers aren’t close to the same, but both use (and sniff) the rule (and sniff) to split the design into three different eye-soft pieces. Both make three pieces energetic, where are you? Maestro Do this with smooth lines, ending I’ll go with some rough stuff.

What’s so impressive ending It’s not just bright red. It’s not just stripes that depict both sand and movement. It is a careful juxtaposition of nature at all its sharp edges, with the smoothness of an artificial recreational vehicle. The thinly weighted fonts of both the title and author names are also done well, allowing the reader to have enough information to know what they are, but the design itself is not hindered. If they were straight rather than having a bit of a curve on them, the impact could have been distributed.

Food Person Book Cover

Cover design for Adam Roberts food person Janet Hansen

I was waiting A few months and months Share this cover with the best roundup. That’s one of the best book covers I’ve seen in a long time, and because it’s unique. Because this is a photograph, not a graphic or work of art, and it’s a bit ridiculous. Who doesn’t think about running a red comb through a plate of spaghetti in a restaurant?

The title and author font are perfectly suited to Italian restaurants that use red checkered tablecloths in the background, along with the white starburst used in the blurb.

Gulf Book Cover

Gulf Coast by Moo ogrodnik

bay It may be the boldest cover here in terms of colour palate, but its softness is necessary to enhance the impact of what this cover is doing. Remember the optical fantasies from childhood when two vases or two faces appear in the same image? This kind of thing can be seen with serious faces in the center and a collage of stacked rainbow arches. If you soften your gaze enough, you can see both at the same time.

Misophonia by Dana Wowinkel, translated by Adrian Nathan West

It has a very similar structure MisophoniaThe design when you compare it Bad naturehowever, the two covers were unable to feel or convey the story in a more different way. There are many colors available in this cover. That busy feeling helps readers feel the atmosphere of a young person in the center of the image. There’s no need to ask if they’re happy or angry. You’re the answer isn’t your damn business.

Stark Black Headphones for Neon, Explosions, and Everything Against It: Just Perfect. Talk about communicating misophonia.

Mrs. lilienbaums cloud factory book cover

Lady Lileenblum’s crowd factory, cover design by Pablo Delcan, translated by Daniella Zamir

Perfectly blue sky pumps bright yellow machine full of man clouds. wonderful. That’s great.

My document book cover

My Documents by Kevin Nguyen

Again, there is a cover that uses the one-third rule to remix. The top of the Neon Green and Light Pink images is the first third. The mountain in the background is your second. The third comes from the black tower of the eye and the land below (the line from the bottom of that tower separates the ground into three parts, which is especially pleasant to the eye). This is another great example of nature meeting the artificial world, reflecting the quest for the book of internment camps. Not human Safety, security and the freedom to live in a majority of white people.

Technicolor space vampire mouth. delicious!

Old School Indian Book Cover

Cover art of Alex Jacobs, the Old School Indian by Aaron John Curtis

There aren’t many covers for books that use collage styles. That’s part of what’s made Old School Indian It feels very fresh and very different. Here you can find incredible colours and movements, from the background to the orange colours hanging behind the title “D” (which appears to fall or float) and the inverted colour scheme that follows the person’s cheeks and chin devotion.

where Bad nature Use circles for the title font counter, note that this counter simply does not have a counter. Considering the collage style, it works very well. (This is a great cover for those who want to learn about and think about the “third rules” of design, or see how it works here. Bonus: This cover and empty lines catch your eye in a way that wants to move images naturally, by turning your attention from top to bottom with a naturally inverted six movement.

Oddly, this is not the image of the only sofa that makes the best cover for this year 2025 roundup. The next one will come later, but remember this as a very purple one.

Small ritual book cover

Kyle Edwards’ small ritual, cover design by Kate Sinclair

I already know this is playing with a third. You’ll probably see the same element My Documents Work is being done here too. This time we have a bright blue river that is slightly off the centre. The use of yellow for the title and author is great, but what’s more noteworthy is that the styling is all lowercase. The emphasis is “small.”

The tiger on the left is something that is visible on the back, and provides this cover different enough to intrigue.

Smile for a camera book cover

Miranda Smith’s smile at camera

This is a blurry Technicolor cabin in the style of old movies and TV shows that do this. There’s nothing really new or innovative in terms of ghosts and scary house stories for the cover, but it’s memorable and remarkably different. The font options here are also great additions to the horror feel of the 80s/90s.

Sour cherry by Natalia Theodridou and cover design by Beth Stidle

Beth Steidle is my favourite designer and this cover is a very knockout for its simplicity. Red continues again, but pairs with a simple pink font, and the font eventually drives the cover. . Even along with the unembodied head hanging from Cherry’s second “R.” The person’s face is still rebellious despite the current mistakes. The cover highlights all these elements, and there is still a lot of blank space on the face.

Stalker Book Cover

Stalker by Paula Bomer

The eye hole in the title? Is Smarmy on the surface of what is likely to have been named the book’s main character? The elements work and do something different from the cover that simply has this face. The space associated with the cover has also been visually arrested.

In some respects, the title can be confusing. In particular, the “novel” appears in the top corner, followed by the author. But that decision to place the title in an unconventional place will put you in caution.

State Champion Book Cover

State Champion by Hilary Plum

This cover features a variety of styles collide between the very common fonts of the author’s name, the graffiti-style title font, hyperrealistic body parts, and sketch out body parts. However, none of these styles seem to compete. They also work in a strange harmony that fully captures what is angry and fully captures being pushed back into a system that causes unfair harm to others (it’s a book about women working in an abortion clinic and seeing things like this firsthand).

Wanderer's Cursed Book Cover

Jennifer Hope Choi’s Curse of the Wanderer, Grace Han’s Cover Design

This is another truly wonderful example of nature, where you will encounter the human-built world of design this quarter. Window and door against the giant clouds create such an interesting contrast. The thin and barely fonts in both the title and the author’s name are almost lost in the cloud in a way that works well. A small detail that stands out is that the white fence along the bottom of the cover emphasizes the world built by humans against the world around it (the goal of such an open fence is to work in harmony with the landscape).

Work Night Book Cover

Work Night by Erika Peplin, Cover Design by Holly Ovenden

Finally, it’s the moment to enjoy the technicolor skyscrapers and huge pink doughnuts around the cityscape. Large, stretched white font? Icing. Above. top.
