No One Knows You're Here by Rachel Howzell
What's the genre? What is it you like or don't like about this cover?
Does it make you want to know more about the book? Does it make you want
to BUY the book? Discuss.
Suspense or mystery? I have to say, I am tempted to go look at that on Amazon by that cover. Not sure what our graphics experts will think but I like it.
I would think that this is mystery or crime novel.
I do like the image and the color work, it has a nice split screen image. I can't read the small text under the author's name at all. I wonder if it might be better to move the author's name below the number one and make it a bit bigger.
I really like it. I can read the author name. I can't read the blurb below it, but the artwork and typography is compelling enough that I want to explore more so it's one I would actively click on to read that small type.
I actually like the typography grouped in the middle with room around it, so would not move the author name.
This looks like a professionally produced cover, and is almost certainly a thriller. I would also click on Amazon to read more, and I like the grouping of the name and title - it has a bit of a film noir feel to it.
I liked the depth of field, but other than that I thought it was quite bland. I assume it's an abduction story from the title. All of the lettering needs to be bigger, and I think it's crying out for a figure, even if only in shadow.
