Cover Reveal: Faking It, by Cora Carmack

Hey guys :) Having been part of the cover reveal for Losing It way back when, I couldn't resist signing up for the reveal of Cora Carmack's new novel, Faking It. And what a pretty cover it is! I like how it picks up on the first one :)

 

FAKING IT by Cora Carmack
Release date: June 4, 2013
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks

Mackenzie "Max" Miller has a problem. Her parents have arrived in town for a surprise visit, and if they see her dyed hair, tattoos, and piercings, they just might disown her. Even worse, they're expecting to meet a nice, wholesome boyfriend, not a guy named Mace who has a neck tattoo and plays in a band. All her lies are about to come crashing down around her, but then she meets Cade.

Cade moved to Philadelphia to act and to leave his problems behind in Texas. So far though, he's kept the problems and had very little opportunity to take the stage. When Max approaches him in a coffee shop with a crazy request to pretend to be her boyfriend, he agrees to play the part. But when Cade plays the role a little too well, they're forced to keep the ruse going. And the more they fake the relationship, the more real it begins to feel.


I'm definitely intrigued now! I love that characters with tattoos and piercings are becoming more visible in novels at the moment, or at least that's how it seems to me. Can't wait to see how that's handled here! Mace sounds yummy too - wonder how he'll react to the Cade issue. And how exactly Max approaches him in that coffee shop, haha XD

What do you guys think of the cover and description? I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

Stacking the Shelves: I'm on a book diet

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews to show off all the books we got in the past week. Those can be bought, borrowed, for review, print, digital... doesn't matter as long as it's a book and you can read it :)


After the rather big hauls in the last weeks, I needed to slow down a bit. I stayed away from kindle freebies. I didn't order any books online (I'll have to get in some TBD preorders soon though). It's like a diet, and it sucks. It lets me catch up with actually reading what I buy though ^^


I got two kindle books though:

Rule, by Jay Crownover
Fallen Too Far, by Abbi Glines

I had downloaded the sample for Rule, and after reading through it on Sunday I just couldn't help myself - I HAD to know how the story continues! So I bought the book and I'm sooo glad that I did because it was awesome! I hope I'll get around to reviewing it soon.
Fallen Too Far was only 1.99$ yesterday and after all those reviews I just thought "screw it, I'll buy it sooner or later anyway". I really liked The Vincent Boys and I hope this one will be equally awesome :)


Friday Night Edit: Okay fine. I said no more books.

BUT!!

Then I saw this post by Lisa from Paranormal & Urban Fantasy Reviews, and I just had to grab this book because it's only 99c and I've wanted to read it for a long time:


Pretty When She Dies, by Rhiannon Frater

Have you read any of the books? And what did you get in the past week?
