COVER REVEAL TIME!!
I love this time of year, when the Winter novels get their covers.
Or Spring, or Summer, or Fall.
Today, I have the cover of a novel by a dear author to me, Paula!
Check it out!
Liars, Inc. by Paula Stokes
Publisher: HarperTeen
Publication Date: February 2015
Official Summary:
It all starts with one little lie…
Max Cantrell has never been a big fan of the truth, so when the opportunity arises to sell lies to his classmates, it sounds like a good way to make a little money and liven up a boring senior year. With the help of his friends Preston and Parvati, Max starts a business providing forged permission slips and cover stories for the students of Vista Palisades High. Liars, Inc. they call it. Suddenly everybody needs something and the cash starts pouring in. Who knew lying could be so lucrative?
When Preston wants his own cover story to go visit a girl he met online, Max doesn’t think twice about hooking him up. Until Preston never comes home. Then the evidence starts to pile up—terrifying clues that lead the cops to Preston’s body. Terrifying clues that point to Max as the murderer.
Can Max find the real killer before he goes to prison for a crime he didn’t commit? Paula Stokes starts with one single white lie and weaves a twisted tale that will have readers guessing until the explosive final chapters.
What does Paula think about the cover?
OMG, I’ve been flailing about the awesomeness of this cover since April. I saw it and was basically like HOLY COVER LOTTERY!! :D
I’ve talked about how LIARS, INC. is very different from THE ART OF LAINEY, and this cover really highlights that. LIARS has first-person narration, a bit of romance, and similar fast-paced dialogue to LAINEY, but that’s where the major similarities end. This book is a dark mystery for fans of I HUNT KILLERS, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS (the TV show, because I’ve never read the books), or old-school Christopher Pike novels. I hope you love it, because if it does well I might get to write a companion novel, and I’m seriously not ready to let go of these characters. Max is a little aloof and slackerish so it might take you time to warm up to him, but his girlfriend Parvati is totally badass and fun, and both of them really grow and change over the course of the novel. (You know how I love me some character development!) And no worries, this is a total standalone book, plotted and written as a solo novel.

I love the cover. It's interesting how we get to see only the reflection of the person standing there.
ReplyDeleteI like it! Simple but pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis book cover looks awesome. It is very different-looking from The Art of Lainey, but I have a feeling I will love it just as much.

ReplyDeleteYesssss, I'm so glad Paula got a cover that she loves and that looks like it'll be perfect for the book! Re: your comment on my blog, I love the gender neutrality, too. It won't scare any wimpy "must be manly" boys away, at least ;)

ReplyDeleteI think the cover is unique! But still very adorable! I hate to admit it; I'm one who does judge a book by it's cover most of the time. This would definitely draw me in. I can't wait to read & review this one!
