It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone.

Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.

Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they be better off staying here forever?
Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.

Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner are longtime friends and sometime flatmates who have traveled the world (but not yet the galaxy), covering every continent between them. They are sure outer space is only a matter of time. Meagan, who is also the author of the Skylark trilogy, currently lives in Asheville, NC, while Amie lives in Melbourne, Australia. Although they currently live apart, they are united by their love of space opera, road trips, and second breakfasts.

This book drew me in with the first paragraph! It starts with the mention of an accident and a girl! If you have an imagination about what is out there in our universe then this is a great book for you! Major Tarver is a decorated war hero abroad the Icarus, a ship that is traveling hyperspace.

Tarver meets the beautiful Miss Lilac LaRoux. Lilac's dad is a very powerful and protective man. Tarver and Lilac finds themselves together in an escape pod when the Icarus is pulled from space. They crash in a land that seems to be uninhabited. But is it?!!

Interesting things start to happen as they grow closer together stranded in this unknown land. I would recommend this book! I give it 3.5 stars!
