Hi, so what is Tori's official design? If you don't have one that's fine but Tori (Masterminds) looks different in the two of the covers for the first book so does she have blonde or dark brown/black hair? Also in the bluer cover of masterminds she seems to have longer hair than the grayer design. Again, it's fine if you don't have an answer!!^^ (btw if someone sent you a person dressed up as your book, SNOOP, that was me :3)

Hi, Brendan,

Thanks for posting. I always pictured Tori as a blonde, but I have nothing to do with the cover art for my books,so I can't say for sure which one is her. Sorry.

And so far I don't think I've received a person dressed up as SNOOP. Again, sorry. --GK--

Also, there are 4 of us and then Hector joins, so 5 then he betrays us so 4, but on book 2s cover, there is an extra person on top of the cliff, is that a purple?
