Image show the cover of Feather Vane by Beth O'Brien - two children (one girl with long red hair, one boy covered in blue feathers) stand beside a glowing cauldron, adding ingredients. Other than the title and author name, text reads: Mixing up magic always leads to trouble.

The cover of Wolf Siren shows the girl looking unfazed, surrounded by three huge wolves in an autumnal woods. The title, WOLF SIREN is written in large red letters, woven between the tree branches. Above the girl's head are the words 'Inside every good girl is a wolf'. The name Beth O’Brien appears at the bottom in white text.
