ANNOYING TREND: Close-ups of models meant to represent the protagonist and absolutely nothing else, like North of Beautiful by Justina Chen.
ANNOYING TREND: In romance novels: unidentified, faceless male, like Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. By the way, I love all the covers in this series, but it is an example of the trend.
ANNOYING TREND: Hidden face, face in concealed in shadows. I haven't actually read this book, Frostbite by Richelle Mead, but I was looking for a good example.
