Blurb Help!

I went out and asked for help with my blurb. Oh how everyone was so nice! Here's what I've got:

The Six
Six complete strangers from all walks of life are kidnapped, imprisoned together, and forced into horrible acts. Their unseen masters force The Six to choose: die, or complete an act that will bring chaos to the outside world, with each act building toward a horrifying master plan.

Episode One
Simon Archer, a shy cashier, is kidnapped and becomes one of The Six. Soon he is the first to be chosen for a special mission: Kidnap and murder a governor's daughter. If he refuses, fails, or tries to escape, Simon will die. 

So much better!

Promo Day Help

So I asked Kindle authors for info on why my promo didn't work out and I think the response was really good!

I think genre is our biggest challenge as indies.
I can't tell what genre your book is. By the blurb, I guess it's either horror or suspense, maybe thriller? The cover looks literary, though.
When the promo blogs look at your book and consider it, they give it about a millisecond. If they don't instantly understand what the heck the book is, they move on to the next one. It's a "Blink" thing.

Great advice. So things I need to work on:

• Pick a genre: Right now it is a thriller/horror/suspense and I've listed it as such. But, that's not really a genre. That's like a smoothie of genres. I need to pick one.
• Fix my blurb: Blurbs are my low point. I have so much trouble coming up with one. I need help with this.
• Cover? (But I like my covers...not sure about that one.)
