Some Laneys Died by Brooke SkipstoneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A mind-bending alternate realities thriller...
Author Brooke Skipstone weaves a very suspenseful and gripping thriller with intriguing twists and turns that will easily captivate the reader’s attention from the beginning. The author paints a compelling coming-of-age science fiction thriller with alternate realities in a very vivid and convincing way. In addition, the characters are drawn with great credibility and conviction. It’s a unique thriller that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last.
I enjoyed the story, character development, and dialogue. There were plenty of plot twists that I didn’t see coming and that added to the book’s mystique. When I stopped reading to work, I found myself wondering what happened in the book, and replaying parts of the novel in my head to see if I could figure more out. It has been a while since I enjoyed a book this much. It’s a first-class science fiction thriller with perfect pacing. Not much is as it appears here, which is just the way fans of mystery, thriller and suspense will want it.
There’s no doubt that Some Laneys Died: A Skipping Sideways Thriller by Brooke Skipstone is an exceptionally well written book. However, it must be said that this story is not for the faint-hearted. The author’s script at times is razor-sharp and will cut deep into the emotions of its reader. The book deals with some very serious issues. As the author states, ‘This book contains scenes of violence, sexual situations, and suicide.’ However, it also contains ‘scenes of love, resilience, joy, hope, and redemption.’ Highly recommended.
