Seriously?

(in case it gets updated--the title currently says "New Title 1" as in a placeholder...
I just got a copy of it. I hope I didn't overpay, it was $0.00. I wonder if there will be a sequel entitled New Title 2.

The blurb is not very good.

"Daniel is a troubled young man, recently divorced, parents gone. There are men looking for him. They go to the bar he frequents, ask his ex wife where he is, even follows him shopping for groceries. Daniel is worried of why these men are after him. Find out what these men want from him and where he goes to find out."

It comes down to "Man is being followed. He's worried." That he's troubled isn't all that interesting. Being worried about being followed is pretty obvious. "Find out what happens next" isn't what a blurb is for. With a title of ICU, I would guess that it has something to do with a hospital, and the picture looks like it might be a waiting room at a hospital. But we get nothing of that in the blurb, and there really ought to be. The cover certainly doesn't give the impression of someone being chased.

But not noticing that you still had the generic string in place of a title trumps all of this.
