The image you used in the first two, where the woman faces us, is the most engaging by far.

The green cast woman in the last two is unusual, and so adds a brief flicker of intrigue.

But the type feels inconsistent and amateurish. You’re sending mixed visual messages.

If I’m being honest, that leaves me unlikely to click any of them.

Thanks for posting, Rob.

Mostly agree with Paul. More thoughts:
* Assume this is a Horror/Mystery/Thriller type book?
* The head-on of the woman (#1, #2) is definitely more engaging. In #4 and #5, it's just a profile of a woman. Plus green is a tricky color on people.
* A big challenge is your main title. #1 is way too small. The creepy/blood-dripping treatment is too corny in my opinion. That leaves the version in #3 & #4.
* How about trying this: move the #4 title/author over to #1. But then be careful with covering up important things. You may need to tighten the line spacing of the title and/or move the image up.

Keep going...
