I could not be more excited about the new cover for In Her Skin! 

In those eyes, I see a girl gazing upon the possibility of a perfect, golden life: the kind that belongs to Temple Lovecraft, whom Jo watches every day at the Boston Public Library. Becoming Vivienne Weir, who went missing seven years earlier, is the key to that life. It’s a good thing becoming someone else is Jo’s specialty:

Every time I switched schools, to avoid getting teased for my backwater accent or my short pants, I’d pick a certain girl—the girl whose laugh could leave you bleeding, the one who moved other kids around like chess pieces, the one teachers let get away with murder. I couldn’t copy clothes, or the smell of clean scalp, or a hard little chin. But I’d get good at the cool rhythm of her speech, her shuffle walk, her nonchalance. Eventually, it wasn’t enough to be on the outside: I wanted in. So I decided things. I thought she might be a late sleeper. That she liked salty over sweet. She tanned easy, and had a stripe of white underneath the woven bracelet on her ankle. The lines around both of us dissolved until I was looking through her eyes, and those eyes were fierce slits. 

If Jo can just keep the Lovecrafts conned into believing she’s Vivienne, she’ll have all the love and money she needs, as well as proximity to the intoxicating Temple, who bonds Jo to her with secret adventures and stunning confessions. But who is the con and who is the mark? Readers of In Her Skin will have to decide for themselves.

So. Are you ready to see the new cover?

In Her Skin by Kim Savage

A dark, suspenseful young adult novel about crime, identity and two girls with everything to lose.

Fifteen-year-old con artist Jo Chastain takes on her biggest heist yet—impersonating a missing girl. Life on the streets of Boston these past few years hasn't been easy, and she hopes to cash in on a little safety, some security. She finds her opportunity with the Lovecrafts, a wealthy family tied to the unsolved disappearance of Vivienne Weir, who vanished when she was nine.

When Jo takes on Vivi's identity and stages the girl's miraculous return, the Lovecrafts welcome her with open arms. They give her everything she could want: love, money, and proximity to their intoxicating and unpredictable daughter, Temple. But nothing is as it seems in the Love craft household—and some secrets refuse to stay buried. When hidden crimes come to the surface and lines of deception begin to blur, Jo must choose to either hold on to an illusion of safety or escape the danger around her before it's too late. In Her Skin is Kim Savage at her most suspenseful yet.
