Skin Deep is book one in the Laura Blackstone series by Mark Del Franco.
WOW… It took me a while to wrap my head around the world and characters. It’s a bit confusing, but the deeper you get the more it works.
Laura Blackstone our main character is a spy. She’s got three identities Laura, Mariel Tate, and Janice Crawford. Her fey ability allows her to create these characters and switch between them when need be. We see that Laura is starting to feel rundown, overwhelmed and that her identities are her only identifies and she no long has lines drawn between them. She’s losing herself. She has no friends, no love life, no one. We see her struggle as she tries to find out who wants one of her identities killed.
Skin Deep is intense, intriguing, and action packed. It’s told in first person POV. Reading other reviews it sounds like this series takes place in the same world as the Connor Grey series. I haven’t read that series, but after reading this, I’m curious about the other series.
This was a great urban fantasy. I was confused, but in a good way. A way that made me dig deeper into the story and devour the book.
