Synopsis: Psychologist Elizabeth Cole prepared for the worst when she accepted a job
on a newly discovered world--a world where every colonist is tethered to an
alien who manifests in the form of a dead loved one. But she never expected
she'd struggle with the requirement to shun these "ghosts." She never expected
to be so attracted to the charming Irishman assigned as her supervisor. And she
certainly never expected to discover she died in a transport crash en route to
the planet. Reincarnated as a ghost, Elizabeth is symbiotically linked to her
supervisor, Murphy--creator of the Ghost Protocol, which forbids him to
acknowledge or interact with her. Confused and alone--oppressed by her ghost
status and tormented by forbidden love--Elizabeth works to unlock the secrets of
her own existence. But her quest for answers lands her in a tug-of-war between powerful
interests, and she soon finds herself a pawn in the struggle for control of the
planet...a struggle that could separate her forever from the man that she loves.
Review: I purchased this book because the premise intrigued me. I was not disappointed. The world-building is clever and well-done, the characters have deep and fullness, and I enjoyed the developing relationship between the two main characters. The secondary characters added complexity and the twist at the end was mostly unexpected. In particular, I was pleased at the romance. It wasn't instant and it had realistic struggles. I will read more from this author and I've already recommend this book to other people.
