We’re getting close to launching Trapped in Deception, the debut novel by Ken Webb—a dark, twisted ride into the mind of a brilliant sociopath who’s faked his death, stolen millions, and is just getting started. Think Gone Girl meets Breaking Bad… but with colder eyes and sharper teeth.
But here’s the thing…
We have a few killer cover options—and we can’t decide which one to use. That’s where YOU come in.

- The minimalist mystery vibe?
- The one that makes you wonder, “Is this guy a genius… or just completely unhinged?”

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.
