Once upon a Christmas, she went down a rabbit hole and saved the world from the man she thought was the love of her life. Afterward, Dr. Anneliese ‘Annie’ Winters-Dove couldn’t leave her house without the constant and imminent threat of a nervous breakdown. She struggles through work and daily life when all she wants to do is feel warm again. She learned to pretend every moment of every day until she could get home and lock her doors. To be who 'they' expected and live by her rules. Why? Because since that Christmas week, Annie isn’t really alive anymore; her fear killed her. She is a ghost, who became a semi-reclusive ghostwriter with PTSD and cats. Never mind the fact, she’s never actually owned a cat. They just find her as she struggles to live within her rules. But her rules aren’t enough when the ghosts of Christmas Past come back and bring an unusual problem. This Christmas's trouble started with her dead parent's experimental omni-energy research, Project Pandora, almost a decade ago. The holidays are supposed to be a time to remember when life was simple and happy, right? Not for Annie, and her rules don’t apply to being on the run with three alien Eloh from Omni-Energy Mercenaries, or do they?
The world building is fascinating, the "good" characters are intriguing and believable, and the story is engrossing. The cats are just plain fun. The plot has twists enough for a spy thriller. Even though the entire story takes place on Earth, Ghost is definitely science fiction. I can't wait for the sequel. I read this book on KU but will buy it to reread.
A great read! Perfect for sci-fi lovers that like to have a dash of romance and a MC that is very relatable. And! There are fluffy kitties! I can't wait to read the next one!
