About the Book:

Former pararescue jumper Orion Starr is haunted by the memory of a rescue gone wrong. He may be living alone in Alaska now, but the pain of his failure--and his injuries--has followed him there from Afghanistan. He has no desire to join Hamilton Jones's elite rescue team, but he also can't shirk his duty when the call comes in to rescue three lost climbers on Denali.

Former CIA profiler and psychiatrist Jenny Calhoun's yearly extreme challenge with her best friends is her only escape from the guilt that has sunk its claws into her. As a consultant during a top-secret mission to root out the Taliban, she green-lighted an operation that ended in ambush and lives lost. When her cathartic climb on Denali turns deadly, she'll be forced to trust her life and the lives of her friends to the most dangerous of heroes--the man she nearly killed.

Her skills and his experience are exactly what's needed to prevent another tragedy--but in order to truly set Orion free from his painful past, Jenny will have to reveal hers. They'll have to put their wounds behind them to survive, but at what cost?
 

My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐

The main character, Jenny, is climbing Denali with a couple girlfriends when they get separated from their group and Orion, Hamilton, and Jake set out to find them. There were so many climbing terms and equipment referenced that I am not familiar. In addition to so much snow, and quite a few of close calls. I was not a fan of the setting or descriptions. However I did like the characters and wanted to see them overcome their personal demons and find peace. There was one scene that made me pretty uncomfortable with the physical actions happening, even though nothing happens it felt like too much. I did enjoy the faith discussions between the characters, there were some Christians and others who were not. Book ends on a cliffhanger and I want to know more about some of the characters we've met. I will be continuing the series.

Favourite Quote: 
“God doesn't guarantee that we won't have trouble. But he does say that he is with us in our suffering. And ultimately he has a plan that, despite the hurt, can be used for our good.”
