About this listen
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' 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? Leap into action with this high-octane, breakneck new series from best-selling author Susan May Warren.

Christian fiction
This book needs to be identified as Christian fiction. I have absolutely no issue with that and have chosen to read Christian fiction in the past, but I typically prefer to know in advance what type of book I am reading. I chose this book as a military or search and rescue romance, which it is, but it positively wallops the reader with scripture and Christianity three quarters of the way through after really only bringing God into the equation in small ways prior to that. This was extremely off putting if you weren’t familiar with the author previously to know what she writes, since no where in the book description or classification on Audible does it mention God, faith, or Christianity, and that is suddenly the entire point of the book.
The author drives home the faith angle with a sledgehammer from then on, and it is extremely preachy.
My other issues were with chapter 15 and the ending. I understand that at this point she is setting up the progression of the series since this is just the first book, but out of nowhere she suddenly has a previously likeable character jumping to conclusions and passing judgement, making two other characters with their own issues feel seriously bad about themselves. Then we leap to a coincidental political rally where things go sideways, to give our already very heroic characters one last opportunity to save everyone. I’m sure it was designed to set up future books, but it was such an overreach it killed the ending for me. Otherwise I found the story mildly repetitive and with far too much trauma in the background of virtually every character, but a really interesting read about the experience of mountain climbers when things go bad. A great concept and seemingly well researched, but irritating in the way it is written.

reptative
The story premise was ok, however there was a lot of repetition with the characters constsntly replaying the same phrases multiple times in moments of remembering .
