Thank you to NetGalley and Angry Robot for the advance reader copy.
I had no expectations about this book and it was great. I read it quickly as the premise was unique and futuristic.
The chapters are based on tarot cards and relate to the characters we meet in that chapter.
I enjoyed how we don’t really know everything throughout the book and it’s revealed as the main character gains understanding.
I think I still have quite a lot of questions but also feel there’s some bits that could have been expanded on. As this was a uncorrected proof I think there would be some changes in the printed release.
Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock was a cozy journey of self discovery and assassination in a futuristic Hollywood. I burned through it and had trouble putting it down.
Thank you Angry Robot and NetGalley for the Advance Reader!
A washed up star creates a clone tasked with eliminating other clones of herself; a whip-smart and thrilling sci-fi read that's perfect for fans of Orphan Black, Killing Eve and Keeping it Real by Justina Robson.
I'm not a huge sci-fi girlie, but the blurb for this book really caught my eye so I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did! It is so well-written with lots of witty banter and cool plot twists. Highly recommended!
This felt like a very unique read and as a fan of Orange Is The New Black it did keep me hooked. Definitely recommended for fans of the show.
”You must try to do everything with kindness. If you must do it at all."
Lulabelle Rock is a celebrity, a fashionista, an accountant, a party animal, and twelve other lives. This Lulabelle is the thirteenth and an assassin, made to kill her predecessors by the original Lulabelle Rock.
For they are all clones - Portraits - designed to fulfil different aspects and needs of the natural, original in the glitzy, glam world in Bubble City.
What a bizarre, exciting, hilarious, humanely pressing premise and execution! This would make an amazing TV show. One episode per chapter counting down each murder.
What does it mean to be unique? What does it mean to live? How can we be accepted? How can we distinguish ourselves?
”But what if the whole painting is a mistake? Or terrible? And the more you work on it, the worse it gets?"
"Well yeah. That can happen. But what's the alternative? Just leave the canvas blank? Or leave it unfinished? It's hard to tell if it's good or bad till you're finished. And what's good or bad art anyway?"
Thank you to the author and Angry Robots for providing the uncorrected proof in exchange for a review!
