Kitty's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Did I cry? Yes. Did Josh break my heart and spirit repeatedly? Yes. Did Josh finally come through in the end and show himself to be the man I knew in my heart that he could be? Yes. 
 The final book in the Flight and Glory series tore me apart. Josh and Ember started it all in Full Measures and now end it in Hallowed Ground. And, after reading this emotional and touching story, I totally understand why the title is Hallowed Ground and why Ms. Yarros chose to end the series with this story. The sad part of this story is that someone had to die to make Hallowed Grounds, love needed to be tested and truths needed to be told. But, through it all, Ember kept her heart in tact, no matter what Josh did or said to deter her, and her set her sights on the ending that she always wanted. 
 There is no way to really summarize this story. I can tell you that it was written straight from Rebecca Yarros' heart and she poured herself and her soul into this story. You can tell by the way the story flows from the pages ... the way you can't put it down ... the way your heart aches for all involved. God, I feel like Josh and Ember, Jagger and Paisley, Grayson and Sam ... Will, Peyton, Morgan are close friends of mine. I felt their pain, applauded their sacrifices and cried right with them. I was able to picture the flags hanging in the windows and draped over the caskets. I felt their sorrow and could see the tears flowing down their faces. I could physically feel the love that Josh and Ember shared. That is how realistic and emotional Rebecca Yarros wrote this story. 
 I was awed with the ending of the Flight and Glory series. It ran the gamut on every possible emotion and brought to life the pain, fear and agony of every person who ever had someone deploy to a war zone. The pain, fear and agony of anyone who is faced with men in Dress Blues knocking on their door. She also showed us what true and undying love is ... she let us see and feel what war does to our soldiers and how they try to deal with integrating back after dealing with loss. But, what amazed me the most was how Rebecca Yarros could have easily made this story totally about PTSD and dealing with grief and guilt but she focused more on the healing, the love, the understanding needed to get through and make dreams come true, no matter what has to be sacrificed. 
 Written from the heart, Hallowed Grounds brings us full circle in the life of Josh Walker and December Howard. The trials and tribulations, ups and downs of love were gracefully and beautifully written by an author who knows how to steal your heart and open your eyes to what true love, devotion and dreams are all about.
