I like the cover, and I ...Congratulations, Jacquie,<br />I like the cover, and I agree it is appropriate to its adult audience. While I have been warned not to put a teen on the cover of my adult mystery, it is dark and foreboding, and she is clearly threatened. So I'm doing a bit of genre-bending, because I think New Adult readers will like it. It is a fairly clean read, no worse situations and language than most kids hear in high school everyday from the urban crowd. Both she and the urban girl who is kidnapped with her are threatened with great abuse and harm and it's up to them to work out a plan to survive. You can see the cover at my website, www.peterhgreen.com, to get what I mean. But your two covers for the adult and YA novels are spot-on! May you have great success with them, Best, PeterPeter H.
