Hallowed Ground

So good, I only cried twice, it shot straight to my heart. I need more of the flyboys 😭

Zo jammer..... Het eerste boek over dit stel was super! Nu had ik bijster weinig met ze.....

Find this review and more at kimberlyfaye reads . I'm going to be perfectly honest with you: I have no idea how to review this book. It's not a question of my rating. Hallowed Ground was incredible. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. It's just that... I'm afraid anything I say will give away the story. I'm going to be very cautious and keep this short and sweet so that I don't ruin one single minute of this gorgeous, emotional story for you. If you loved Josh and Ember, Jagger and Paisley and Grayson and Sam as much as I do, this book is a no-brainer. You simply have to get the final chapter in their story. Yes, Josh and Ember are undoubtedly the stars of this book, but each of our other four favorites play an important part in the story and, for better or for worse, I loved spending time with each and every one of them again. This book will rip your heart out. I promise you that. I cried more than I should probably admit. There are good and bad feels and you will feel every single one of them. Or at least you will if you're an emotional reader like I am. But I really think you'd have to be dead inside to NOT feel this book. It's a tough one. I can, however, assure you it is worth it in the end. It was a perfect ending to the Flight & Glory series. It was real and powerful and I loved it. I'm so glad I stumbled across Full Measures nearly two years ago. The Flight & Glory series is definitely one of my all time favorite new adult series and I can't recommend it highly enough. Be advised, however, this series is NOT for the faint of heart. If you can handle LOADS of emotions mixed in with sexy, swoony romance between kickass heroines and utterly amazing heroes, then I hope you're already reading this series. If you're not, you should be. I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. FAVORITE QUOTES: "You are my dream now, December Howard. You are everything to me. My heart beats for you, my soul is only whole when you're near. You're my home, my shelter, my wildest fantasy, and I cannot imagine a future where you're not mine, because I'm yours in every sense of the word." "It means that every night I’m going to make love to you. Every night I’m going to lick you, suck you, kiss you until you come. Then I’m going to slide inside you so deep”—he followed his words with a powerful thrust, stealing my breath—“that you’ll never be able to get me out. Even when I’m not with you, I’ll be there, with you, reminding you that you’re mine. Every. Delicious. Incredible. Inch. Of. You. Mine.” "I don’t care how you come home. I don’t care what parts of you are broken, or bleeding, or…anything, just as long as you come home. As long as your heart is beating, I will want you, do you understand me? I don’t care what happens there as long as you come home. Please? You have to, because I’ve built my world around you, our future, and I don’t know if I could survive losing you, Josh. And I know that’s selfish, and unfair, but I need you!”

Originally posted at Booklovers For Life 4.5 STARS I had no idea it was possible to fall even more in love with Josh and Ember from Full Measures, but Rebecca Yarros proved me wrong. Full Measures was one of my favorite reads of last year – I fell so hard for Josh and Ember’s story! So when I heard they would be getting another book, I jumped at the chance to read it. I mean, how could I turn down more Josh Walker? And now, after reading Hallowed Ground, I love them even more than I did in Full Measures. Through the trials, the heartache, the deployments, a war, they’ve come out on top and stronger than ever. This book was incredibly emotional – I nearly cried about 3 times, and I rarely ever cry for books. There were so many ups and downs, but overall it was a beautiful, fantastic follow-up and conclusion to Josh and Ember’s story. Here was my salvation. December was my saving grace. Hallowed Ground is book 4 in the Flight & Glory series, but you only need to read the first book, Full Measures, to first be introduced to Josh and Ember. Still, I highly recommend reading the series in order so you get the full effect of each of the characters’ appearances in Hallowed Ground. If you’re a fan of Ember and Josh, Paisley and Jagger, and Sam and Grayson, then you absolutely need to read this final book. “You are my dream now, December Howard. You are everything to me. My heart beats for you, my soul is only whole when you’re near. You’re my home, my shelter, my wildest fantasy, and I cannot imagine a future where you’re not mine, because I’m yours in every sense of the word.” I don’t want to give anything away in the book, because when you read it, you need to experience everything first-hand. Rebecca Yarros has a brilliant talent at writing and bringing emotion to life through her words, and after every book I read from her, I only become a bigger fan. Her words pack a punch, and hands down, Hallowed Ground was the most difficult to read. This book hurt – it very much ripped my heart with all the emotional, gut-wrenching scenes between Josh and Ember. You get frustrated, you laugh, you want to cry… you seriously feel a whole spectrum of emotions. But I promise, everything – all the heartache, the ups and downs – will be worth it in the end. The epilogue seriously left me with a smile on my face and I couldn’t be happier with the way things ended for Josh and Ember. “You are a flesh-and-bone wet dream, and you owned me the first fucking moment my mouth touched yours.” I am so, so happy I decided to read Full Measures last year. If I didn’t, I would’ve been missing out on one fantastic, beautifully-written series. Josh is still one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends, and I can only hope for many more from Rebecca Yarros. As sad as I am to see the Flight & Glory series end, I’m so excited to see what’s next from the author! Thanks to the publisher for generously providing me an ARC to review.
