I am currently reading the novel Dead Witch Walking. It has this cover:

For the most part, I'm indifferent to this cover, although the design is interesting, what with the bold colors and all. But here is the US cover:

I doubt I would ever have picked up this edition. The others US covers takes it even further, even featuring a quote on one of the covers saying "great sex and an even better plot." Now admittedly, I'm only halfway through the first book, but so far I can say: yes, there is an element of sexuality, but it's not dominating the entire book, which is so far an entertaining story filled with magical battles and infiltrations.
I mean, do you want to be spotted with this?
