Hallowed Ground

Written by Rebecca Yarros

Narrated by Carly Robins and Teddy Hamilton

There are some debts you can't repay . . .



Josh Walker is loyal, reckless, and every girl's dream. But he only has eyes for December Howard, the girl he has yearned for since his high school hockey days. Together they have survived grief, the military, distance, and time as they've fought for stolen weekends between his post at Ft. Rucker and her schooling at Vanderbilt. Now that Josh is a medevac pilot and Ember is headed toward graduation, they're moving on—and in—together.



Ember never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh means accepting whatever the army dictates—even when that means saying goodbye as Josh heads to Afghanistan, a country that nearly killed him once before and that took her father. But filling their last days together with love, passion, and plans for their future doesn't temper Ember's fear, and if there's one thing she's learned from her father's death, it's that there are some obstacles even love can't conquer.



Flight school is over.



This is war.

Reviews for Hallowed Ground

[rmarcin-630843 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I typically enjoy romances by Yarros, but this one missed the mark. To be fair, I didn't read the other books in the series, so this was my first experience reading these characters. In this book, Ember and Josh are finally living together. Soon after they move in, Josh is deployed to Afghanistan and Ember is considering going to Turkey for a dig to use towards her PhD. Once again, they will be apart, and after a tragedy in the war, Josh is now suffering from PTSD. I don't feel the book did justice to PTSD, and perhaps because I didn't read the earlier books, I don't know why Josh and Ember were in love. Lust, yes, as they showed on many pages, but I didn't know enough about the characters to get how and why they were in love. Perhaps I will read the earlier books and come to a different conclusion.
