Which Cover?

I need your help. Which cover do you like best? These are all rough mock-ups--I'm looking for the general idea you like best. Fonts can be changed easily. Please ignore the watermarks--I haven't purchased any of the images yet. 

And if you don't like any of the covers, please say so. You can answer in the comment section. Thank you!! I really appreciate your help!

The story is a YA urban fantasy about a teenage girl who discovers she has enough Light to battle a nasty demon.

 
#1 Girl with Aura

 
#2 Light Burst 
 


#3 Light in Palms



#4 Hands Holding Light

 
 
#5 None of the Above

OK, let's see if I can get my thoughts out clearly. I like a lot from all of them, but I think it would look cool to have the girl(a shot further out, not a closeup) of her holding her hands out with the light in them. Have her looking down at her hands.Does that make sense?

Sorry Rebecca, but these covers don't lure me in. The hands idea I like less than the girl, but the girl does not hold my interest. Perhaps with more contrast . . . But even so, it doesn't give me a flavor for the book that makes me want to pick it up.

Usually I like covers where I can see someone's face, however...I also like the last cover, too. :)

I like the one w the girl--because of the eyes and how very fair she is. I also like the one w the light in the palms. I like the title font on last cover. Not a huge fan of the borders, but black more than blue. All great options, but those are my favorites. Best of luck!

I like the top one best of the four, but to be straight-up honest, I'm not in love with it either, it just doesn't say urban fantasy to me.

I like the hand ones the best. Good luck!

I think I'd like some combination of #1 and #5. I like the colors on #5 and YA usually seems to have faces on the cover. Hope this helps!

I like the first one the best. The next runner up for me is the last one, except I think the hands look too cartoony. But I like that the background has more depth and design. Can you take the picture from the first cover and put it on the background of the last cover?
