The Name Once Erased

The author says:

Genre: psychological thriller Third in a series. Book one and two had been compared to V.C. Andrews and Book three is similar vibe.

Working Blurb: After The Girl Once Known and The Bond Once Broken, this family story reaches its thrilling conclusion in The Name Once Erased. Mira is now married with children, and she believed she had her family’s dysfunction under control—until her grandmother’s funeral. She had always thought her father’s side of the family, despite his past indiscretions, was the more stable one, free from secrets. But an online ancestry test reveals a cousin her father insists he doesn’t know. Then her estranged paternal aunt and cousin resurface, and Mira pushes to find answers because if she knows one thing, it’s that secrets have a way of coming out. As Mira digs for the truth, someone seems willing to go to any length to bury the family name and its secrets for good. But Mira is determined that the lies, betrayals, and past hurts must end with her even if it puts everything she loves at risk.

Nathan says:

Let’s look at the previous two books to check the branding:

I can see where you’re trying to go — “similar but different” — but the photo for the third book is over-processed, and it’s distracting.

The raindrop motif is also much subtler, so much so that even in the full size, it only appears at the second glance. In keeping with the trend toward fewer raindrops on the previous two covers, I would confine the drops on the third one — maybe just to the lower half, or just to the margins — but make them large enough to be noticed.
