So I am struggling now with my first novel (book cover) and so I thought I would enlist you help guys… by the way its coming soooooooon!!
this is the back cover write up which hopefully will help you decide
Berlin 1942
From the smoking ruins of a bombed Berlin brothel, nine shocked and injured female survivors are taken to a secluded retreat by Nazi officer, Gruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich. They’re not there for official business or for medical treatment though, Heydrich has brought them there for a much more sinister reason.
Trained by the SS officer to gather intelligence, the women are desperate to survive. They turn the tables on their armed captors and kill them. After covering their tracks, the women return to Berlin to ply the only trade they know… with an added twist. Somehow these ‘sisters in arms’ escape the attention of the Nazis despite the high rank of their victim, and their lucrative business thrives.
They haven’t escaped everyone’s notice though. British Intelligence were monitoring Heydrich’s operations for some time, and their attention has zeroed in on the nine women. They dispatch one of their top male agents to make contact…

My choice would be the second one. With all the renewed interest in WWII brought about by Genealogy, DNA and Family History researchers and historians, I believe the second one will catch the eye of these groups. The first one looks as though it’s advertising a sexy/horror novel. IMO

thanks for your comments GP… I actually paid someone to do the second but then someone said it doesn’t much look like a cover of a novel. so I put the second first and third ones together based on the story line… it is about females during WWII, Its fact based, they were trained in all aspects of espionage by the Nazi’s… they become ruthless killers, but they use their beauty and bodies to lure their victims in… it my first novel and I want to try and get it write GP, so all feedback is welcome thanks again.

With further describing the story, perhaps the first one is better.

they are of course prostitutes first of all, the book isn’t full of sex, its more about their training by the Nazi’s and then the British SOE, and assignments they are then sent on…. its not all fiction, the basis of the book is authentic…

Not having been a student of the ETO, I had not known this. Of course, if I had used my head, it would have seemed obvious that someone would have come up with idea!! Thanks.

Thanks for your input MB, could I ask, did you read the back cover write up? This is my first coming soon novel, it is based somewhat on authentic facts about a bunch of prostitues that the nazis train in all aspects of espionage. In effect they become trained killers that use their beauty to lure their victims in… hence covers one and three.. also if you take a look at my travel guides, the second one looks just like them in design and so could be confusing? Just trying to work it all out really..

Yes I did read your write up, and congrats on your first upcoming novel! 🙂 I see what you’re saying about your concerns, I just think the second one jumped out at me more. I was better able to grasp what kind of book I was looking at with this cover.
