Time / money waster. I really wanted this to live up to the comparisons made by the publisher, but alas, it fell exceedingly short. This story consists of the inner dialog and regurgitation of self doubt and fear of betrayal of the main character repeated to the point of distraction and filling 95% of the story content. Please read a sample of the book and leave it at that, because the entire book is just a rehashing of the sample.

Wow!. This is some of the best writing — I don’t find climbing or caves interesting but this had me reading till 4 AM. Just brilliant! Hard to put down!

A gripping sci-fi thriller. The Luminous Dead is a gripping sci-fi thriller, a taught, psychological battle, which plays out over a treacherous and frightening expedition through the caves of a alien planet. Starling’s prose is breathtakingly cinematic and creates a claustrophobic alien world of extreme danger and mystery. This book will drag you into its dark and twisting depths.

Absolutely Fantastic. I was hooked before the first chapter ended. I went into this book expecting something akin to The Descent, but it was so, so much more. It takes a very talented author to make a story about two characters and a cave not only interesting, but compelling. Starling’s done that and more. Not only is the tone consistent, but the way she’s portrayed mental breakdowns, hallucinations and desperation are believable and frightening.I thoroughly recommend this title to anyone who loves science fiction, horror, thrillers, and, oh yeah, a F/F romance built upon mutual hate. 5 stars isn’t enough, in my opinion.

A Good Thriller!. Definitely kept me interested and intrigued during its read! I wish in the end, we could have explored into the relationships with Gyre but maybe that will cause a sequel.

Harrowing, claustrophobic and masterfully built.. You think you would get bored of reading about someone’s internal monologue in a cave…but this book hooks right into you from the start and drags you in by inch down into the caves of impoverished Cassandra V along with Gyra and Em. The slow burn of paranoia is layered superbly around the already horrifying claustrophobia and builds this book into a masterpiece. My heart was In my throat so many times! The character development was excellent and I loved them both to bits even as I rooted for and against them.

Decent Read. Well where to begin. This book was a decent read. The author developed two really flawed characters that meshed well together and also had their differences that created a really toxic dynamic. This novel was about developing these characters relationship through experience. Would I recommend this to someone, I’d say maybe. It wasn’t a bad read, but a lot of the book was an internalized dialogue with the main character. As the story progresses the protagonist becomes less comprehensive. As she deals with isolation. This book talks about isolation and how it can affect our psyches. For the most part this was well written. Some parts of the book dragged on. Hope this review helps.

Disappointing.. A little slow and repetitive. Interesting story, but not completely captivating.

A damn enjoyable, chilling novel.. A great, edge of your seat kind of read with a lot of heart and more than a few chills. Once I started, I couldn’t stop reading until I got to the end. I would definitely recommend this book.
