Saving Face

The Facetakers #0.5

by Frank Morin

Rent a new body . . . Sounds perfect. Unless your body is the one getting rented. Sarah is a top model, making tons of money to let other people live in her skin. But she feels like she's losing her identity. Time to get out. Her employer decides to sell her body instead. Sarah plunges into a terrifying race to escape with body and soul intact. Failure means becoming the ultimate orphan. As she scrambles for any possible salvation, she finds an unexpected ally who is definitely not who he pretends to be. Neither is the entire body renting program. Sarah stumbles upon dark truths, arcane powers, and a sinister plot decades in the making. She had always thought nothing could be worse than dying. She was wrong. If you love exciting fast-action fantasy adventures from authors like Jim Butcher, Sarah J. Maas, and Dean Koonz, you'll love Saving Face and the Facetakers. Get your copy now!

An amazing concept. Struck me as Dollhouse meets a paranormal version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I enjoyed the whole story, rarely got bored, and many times couldn't put it down.

First of all, this is a good example of never judging a book by its cover. One of the worst! Not to mention the summary on the back- it looks like a high school project. But the book was better.
This came down as a 2-parter for me. I couldn’t stop reading until I reached the middle of the book. It had a great climax with a lot of interesting questions needing answers. But from that point on, it became a confusing soup. I know the author wanted cliffhangers to continue reading the sequels but unfortunately this is where I stop. Really had potential but I’m twice as confused as the main character at the end of the book which does not reward the reader at all.

Wow! What a surprise. Can't wait to read the next book in the series. Great read.

It gives a twilight zone-y feeling. Good read. The ending a little cliffhanger though.

[Anastasia Bolinder · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really enjoyed the pace and intriguing story that keeps you questioning what is really going on behind a company that rents out young bodies for the highest paying dollar.

Would totally recommend this for any science fiction lover.

I love this book! It's a mysterious, fast-paced read. It poses several thought-provoking questions and answers them in an exceedingly creative way. I also thoroughly enjoyed the associated short story, which is up for free on the author's website, http://www.frankmorin.org/.

Dit is mijn kennismaking met de serie. Een vreemde wereld waarin lichamen te huur worden aangeboden. En het gezicht 'verplaatst' van het ene naar het andere lichaam. Een intrigerende gedachte. Het is een erg leuke binnenkomer in het verhaal. Dus direct de serie aangeschaft.

IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I EXPECTED, IN A GOOD WAY
