It definitely made me want to read the book more. It's familiar, and I think the cover overall is intriguing, so it definitely leans towards the I want to read it more side.

I am a big fan of the Horror genre. The second I saw this book cover I was excited to read this book.

The cover of the book turned me off for sure. When you see the ghost face you remember scream instantly. Scream is not my liking so it hold me from reading the book.

Not being a big horror fan, the scream face didn't entice me to read the book as much. I can still appreciate a good thriller though.

The cover implied it had some relation to the film, similar to The Royal We i thought maybe it would have it's parallels. Sadly it didn't. But yes i will say the cover did influence me wanting to read this book because of what it implied.

The image on the cover is enticing enough to anyone who enjoys horror themes.It does exactly what i think the designer intended it to do, it sets the mood .And of cause it surely looks like the face of fear.

The cover put me off as I thought the book would be related to the Scream franchise. But once I read the description and sample, I was interested. The book reminds me of work by Dean Koontz, which I love

The cover plays a big role on the productivity of the book especially on its first release, in my opinion the 'Ghost Face' is an ingenious idea that they came up with. It gave more character to the book.

The cover is a turn off for me. The cover looks nice enough, and perhaps appeals to the type of audience that would enjoy this book. I am not typically drawn to horror type stories and this cover "screams" horror.

I prefer beautiful flowers on book cover instead of horror pictures.

The cover definitely grabbed my attention. I'm upset that I didn't get a copy before they ran out!

The cover put me off, but I read the description and a few reviews. The fact that it was going to be the book of the month gave me a final shove.
