Thoughts?
-
I like it--it's far better than the last one, certainly.
-
How do I know it's *really* yours? I mean, there's no guy in a suit hiding his face/head.
-
For which I think we're all grateful.
As you can tell, they're marketing it as a straight suspense.
-
almost looks like a Grisham novel.
-
Much simpler, clearer design. I like it very much.
-
that is a lot better than the last one you had. Actually seems like it will fit.
-
Very safe--a good move on Covenant's part. The readers will know what they're getting, and while the cover won't be memorable as wonderful, it also won't be memorable for being terrible.
-
It looks kinda scary to me. But you mentioned suspence, so I guess it fits.
-
This is the sequel to Wake Me When It's Over, isn't it? I wonder how it'll affect sales to change the marketing of the series on the second book.
-
Well, it's the sequel, but it doesn't require that you read the first book (although it certainly helps). It actually won't be marketed as a sequel at all. Wake Me sold kinda poorly (due in no small part to the cover) and we're trying to distance this book from that.

Hurrah
-
Ahh, that makes sense.
-
Yeah, I really like this cover. I liked the first one too, in all fairness, but this one looks much more serious, while the other one looked similar to a political cartoon.
