Let’s make this thriller look as good as it reads.



I would choose the third one because it tells us a bit of what the story is about.
I like the third also but the first is my favorite. I am the author, and the first one I paid for through Fiverr and the other two are done with AI. Actually, quite a bit of the action takes place in a church in Huancayo, Pero and the villain uses religion to his advantage and is actually an ordained minister. I would like to find a way to use all three.
I agree that is the most informative.
The second! My imagination can fly about how is the character with this one. Is more elegant and have enough information to a cover. The cold colors are perfect too.
That one was actually done by a friend who is one of the Beta Readers for my novel. This is the very first proposed cover for the book. Yeah, I like it, but it like 1 and 3 more.
I like the looks of all of them- they all are very different. For me, the first has a deceitful church going person connection, but a very young person who is capable of doing anything. The second gives me the appearance of greed/corporate embezzlement, i would not think dark murderous content. The third is very good because you give a flair of the book. The tough part i think for cover number 1 is the pic of the person i would think needs to be a delicate balance of a ruthless conniving person but also can be seen as an entrusting corporate executive.
Bill, I intend to use all of the covers. I am exciting to be marketing the book and am hoping to have it released within six months. I will not, however, allow it to be published until I am personally ready.
I like the third one, but I would prefer to place the information in the back, and maybe the first letters with that white/gray color at the center left of the book. That could be a cleaner cover but still be a very attractive one.
Well, the odd thing Ana is that I only paid for the first cover. The second and the third were done by Artificial Intelligence and I did not pay anything. It just goes to show that more expensive is not always better. I like the first and the third cover. I may just put the 1 and 3 on pieces of paper in a had several times, mix them up, and pick one. Highly scientific.
