The last line of the blurb is actually something I said to Seanan's and my common editor while trying to describe Rosemary and Rue stylistically. I had no idea she was going to use it on the cover and actually, while it's very useful to let people know that "if you like this you'll like that" and will move books like crazy (to those people who clearly aren't you and liked the authors referenced) I'd have prefered it wasn't there for the very point you made.
I would buy i...um. That is not a useful response. But seriously, it was the only blurb on the cover I hadn't encountered before, and I really did view it as a 'let's make more people pick this up' maneuver. Because I adore you, and I know that you'd just tell me to go around letting people know how awesome you are if that was the goal.
