Suspense cover feedback?
Thanks. It's for a suspense novel called Saving Baby.

You don't want my opinion. That looks like Psycho or horror or I don't know.

For me, there's not enough of a suspenseful nature in the cover elements that would even make me THINK suspense!

Looks more like young adult drama.

The colors are wrong. It should be bluer, colder and darker.

The cover screams Africa novel. Only the acacia tree is missing.

The warm colours and sunlight look to me like there might be romantic or other cosy/happy-type elements, and the two fonts in the title don't work together.

Does nothing for me, I'm afraid. There's not the slightest hint in the cover image that it's a suspense novel.

No Zombies
The cover is Warm. Sun, Fun and Beach ? Suspense needs to be cold, or bloody or contain some symbol of mayhem |
