Antonyms of a Mirage - Cover and Book Trailer

Hi People, I am so sooooooooooo happy. Please, raise that to power 100. After an unnecessary two-month delay, which could have been avoided, the book is finally ready. Please, find the book cover below and the video trailer. I can now move on to other things.

Lemme know what you think.

Thanks

Below is the Book Trailer

    Congratulations, Atilola! Finally, shay? I like the cover, at least the lady with the hair style. The additional characters ... I would omit. As for the video, I was pleasantly surprised the person with the British accent actually pronounced your name properly ... LOL! All in all, I am looking forward to my own copy.
