First off, I'm back writing again.
The story line is The main character from Bearkiller, HALO, and Tarnished Halo is coming out of retirement to help his friend rescue his daughter from a Mexican Drug Cartel.

These are three covers I've been working on.
I would appreciate any input.

I'VE REDONE WITH NEW TITLE ABOUT SIX POSTS DOWN

I don't like piss in the title - I prefer the middle one - bright and artistic and mystical looking.

I prefer the middle one. As for the title: "You play with fire, you get burned."

I like the second one best. Also, the other books with the same main character have titles with all caps. Maybe this title should be the same? Oh, and how about Bedeviled Halo or Demonized Halo?

Okay, I'll give in to the design, but I sure need some of that red in there...all else is well.

Since I don't know the book content I can only go with reaction to the cover - I like it when you use flame colors.

I like the first of the second series (of five) covers best, though they are all terrific.

If "piss off" is too harsh or inappropriate (I don't agree with that, by the way), "mess" is too soft for me. That's my two cents.
