I'd say the beetle is the strongest of the three. The simple woods designs are a bit too basic and e-bookish for me.
BACKERS! We have what we think are the three finalists for the cover! Take a look at these and see what you think. Two of them (the forests) you'll have seen versions of before, the third (what I lovingly call "night beetle") is a new variant of the beetle cover we had in an earlier round. I really liked the beetle image (when you read the book you'll see why the beetle is an important piece of iconography in the story) but also loved the creepy/spooky night imagery of the forests so I asked Jason to combine the two and this is what he came up with.
Whichever one we pick there will still be some tweaking to do, but the time has come to pick one and run with it! So let us know what you think, your opinion will help us make a final decision!

And here's all three next to one another:
