I've seen this with the Evermore cover!! And to be honest, I just think it's lack of originality. But I'm not a book cover artist, and it must be a tough job.

The Keeper's Tattoo is was first published in the U.K as The Keeper's Daughter, and though it's not exactly identical it's the same idea: a picture from behind of a girl with a plait, with water in the foreground. So I wonder if The Keeper's Tattoo had that cover first. It'd make sense.
Tez - I just looked and I like the UK cover better.
