She
was brainwashed into believing she could save mankind.
Now, she’s the one who needs saving.
Abandoned with his two younger brothers, Milo Vega was placed in foster care. Now a twenty-year-old high-school senior covered in gang tattoos and working as the school’s janitor, he is living a life vastly different from the one he was destined for.
When another foster joins the family, this one from the psychiatric facility, Milo’s skeptical. A rare genetic condition makes her unlike any girl he’s ever seen, and he wants nothing to do with the one he calls Ghostgirl.
Despite his reluctance, his protective instincts flare when she enrolls in school, and eventually, an unlikely friendship grows between them. When a tragic event snaps her fragile psyche, Milo is faced with the possibility of never seeing her again.
Unless he risks it all to save her.

MY REVIEW
Ghostgirl by JB
Salsbury is a contemporary romance like none I’ve read before. Characters so different & intriguing from
the start – this is an addictive contemporary romance full of mystery, angst
& heart wrenching emotion “I felt
that shit everywhere.” All while funny,
sexy & sweet. Family ties that are
blood ties, for better or worse.
Attraction that is as unusual as it is undeniable. Secrets are revealed, with a cliffhanger that
will have you ready for more.
Told in first person
from dual perspectives, with flash backs throughout. Milo~a boy whose had to grow up to fast, he
is fierce & protective of those he calls his own with “…gang affiliations inked all over my skin and the hundred-pound chip
on my shoulder…” A guy after my own
heart “Call me a pussy, but it’s the
truth. No matter how old I get, I hate being sick without my mom.” Ghostgirl~who
is she? Where did she come from? Can she
save mankind? “Vulnerable, shy, and so modestly sexy…” She is the ultimate
mystery. A story of overcoming pasts
that haunt, finding hope & freedom with self-sacrifice at the same time,
toward a future not thought possible.
I loved the sarcastic
wit, emotional depth & secrets that unfolded through to the end.
“It’s
all too much yet far from enough.”
Looking
forward to the conclusion to their story in Saint.
ARC received in
exchange for an honest review.
