Title and cover
The cover is a bit scary in my view, but I love the title though and thought it is very apt.

I think the title is eye-catching and fits very well with the story.

I loved the cover from the first time I saw it. I had them make the girl match Martha and I made the knife more prominent. The issue I have with it now is the fact that she is supposed to be a ghost and needs to have more opacity to her. My new team is correcting that for me as well as changing the font for my name and the blurb. It's too hard to read, although I like it for the title. We may change some of the blood splatter too.gali wrote:What did you think about the title and cover?

The name came to me because of the content. I knew that some of the book was going to be very hard to stomach, so it's a warning of sorts.

I love that thought. If a reader has any issues with any of the themes then the immediate response is, "with that title, what were you expecting?"Janetleighgreen wrote: The name came to me because of the content.

I understand all the feelings about the cover. Considering the unspeakable acts described in the book, I think a scary and even potentially off-putting cover is appropriate--appropriately inappropriate.

I hope you like the book! Keep reading and enjoy!LifeTimeBookAddict wrote:I'm not one to "judge a book by its cover," but I couldn't stop checking the cover out on this book! I first noticed the blonde haired girl seemed to be floating, and next, I noticed a knife on the floor. I went on reading and then checked the cover graphic again. Either I see blood splattered on the walls, or my imagination is getting away from me! I certainly don't expect the cover to be an exact indication of the imagery in the book, but where are the stairs leading to pictured on the cover? (I don't really want an answer; I'm only a third of the way through so far.) So these are my original thoughts on the book, but I hope to chime in later when we've all finished, so I can figure out who this floating woman on the cover is. I hope it's not Charlie or Sheila!
