Ghost Planet

I would say just pick up this book and start reading. If you don't read the book blurb you will be hooked by the twist beginning. If the blurb is read, the premise is new and imaginative. At first I was happy this book wasn't a series but after finishing I wish there were more books about this world so this setting could be more flushed out. Liked the characters. The constant action kept the story moving. I found the ghost protocol so interesting and cruel. I love how the author played with the human ability to ignore as a norm and the side affects of not existing that was created for the aliens and the world. I ate this book up.

“5 stars!” You exclaim. “For a Vaginal Fantasy pick!?”

Yes, and let me tell you why! Ghost Planet surprised me in a big way. I've read quite a bit of science fiction in my day, and this particular premise seemed very new and inventive to me. In fact, I feel like this book could have continued on to a more flesh-out series, since there's so much more we can learn about the planet and how it works.

Elizabeth, the female lead, is something of a Mary Sue. She's beautiful, intelligent, and can fight her way out of a pickle if she needs to. However, I found myself relating to the character. There was a lot of common sense thinking in her situation, which (unfortunately) we don't always see in the VF picks.

So yes, 5-stars for a really enjoyable book with an interesting premise (and some decent sexytimes). Plus, I very much enjoyed hearing Murphy's Irish accent in my mind :)
