4 out of 5 stars!

I love dystopian reads and Eyes of A Runner did not disappoint!

Eyes of A Runner is this dark world controlled by this over powered, corrupted Government and one tough, resilient young lady eager to take matters into her own hands!

Skyler created this incredible world with such relatable characters. All while incorporating past and current world problems (with his own spin of course). The underlying messages throughout this read are extremely powerful. The realism that parts of this world Skyler has created could potentially become our world or darn close to our world is whats truly terrifying.

Skylers’s writing is wonderful and full of vivid description. There is this one line that really stood out for me “The com-link was suddenly flooded with the sounds of gum popping before the women on the other end chimed in”. I couldn’t only picture this scene playing out in my mind but I could hear it.

Although this is a heavy story Skyler made sure to splash in some humour helping to break the story up and add in some well needed goofy, happy moments.

Skyler’s characters are phenomenal! Main characters stand out but when the supporting characters are just as strong, this really captivates me as a reader. Sarina is stubborn and she wants to change the world but when faced with a tough situation her passion to take charge herself completely takes over, leaving her with absolutely no disregard on how her actions may danger those around her.

Annelise is tough and extremely direct. She has no problem putting Sarina in her place and telling her straight up how it is. (She also has one of my all time favourite lines in the book, you will just have to read it and see).

Daniel is mysterious, flat out dangerous yet you can see his kind heart. He may be one of my favourite characters… I’m not sure just yet.

Honestly, I just can’t wait to read more in this world and to learn more about these characters. Oh and before I go, I have to tell you some of these characters had under gone some extensive alterations by the UDA and have now become some type of “super soldier”….. yeah you heard me right!

Point is I say people should be definitely picking up Eyes of A Runner and giving it a go.

Thank you so much Skyler for sending me a copy to read and review, I look forward to book two!
