Valentine

The author says:

VALENTINE is about a young woman who becomes so desperate to escape from her drug-fueled lifestyle that she marries a handsome stranger with ‘traditional’ values and returns with him to an isolated community that’s been living off the grid for the last hundred and twenty years.

Nathan says:

This is a striking cover. Only two comments:

1. Looking at it gives me no idea of the genre.  Spy thriller? Detective-vs.-serial-killer? Paranormal romance?  (The title might give it a tincture of romance that the image doesn’t suggest.) It’s a terrific image, but can you gamble that it’ll be enough to get readers to click through or flip it over to read the summary?  I’d put a tagline directly above or below the title that clarifies it.

2. I think the two-tone title works well. But the two-tone byline had me looking for a hidden meaning in what was highlighted and what wasn’t.

Other thoughts?
