Description from the publisher:
Ancient gods. Modern war. And a star-crossed couple who could use some divine intervention.
The day I was drafted into the army of the gods, all I knew about being a MASH surgeon was what I’d learned from Hawkeye Pierce and Hot Lips Houlihan. Now here I am, Dr. Petra Robichaud, in the middle of an immortal war, assigned to a MASH camp with a nosy sphinx, a vegetarian werewolf, and an uptight vampire who really needs to get a life.
At least they’re all too busy with their own dramas to discover my secret: I can see the dead. It’s a forbidden gift, one that can get me killed, so I haven’t told a soul.
Until the arrestingly intense Galen arrives on my operating table, half-dead and totally to-die-for. When his spirit tries to slip out of his fatally wounded body, I impulsively slip it back in. Call it a rash resurrection. One I’ll live to regret.
Now Commander Galen of Delphi knows my secret, and he’s convinced I’m part of an ancient prophecy—one that can end the war for good. But taking a chance could cost me everything. And it would be easier to convince him to leave me alone, except now the prophecies are starting to come true…
Warning: This novel contains a hefty dose of danger, drama, practical jokes, pet swamp lizards, brooding demigods, adventure, romance, and heart—in a MASH camp where everybody knows your business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This story gave a lot of nods to the old MASH TV show that I loved, while maintaining its own originality. For example: While Hawkeye and McIntyre called their tent “The Swamp,’ Petra’s tent is next to an actual tar swamp!
The adage is “war is hell.” Now imagine a war that is held in the fields that lead to hell… and while a real seems to last forever, this one has lasted for thousands of years.
So, what did I think of the writing? In a word – AWESOME. It’s a fun story. Tons of great banter. A love interest that is a s-l-o-w burn with lots of wit and charm. I loved reading it. This is the kind of story that I keep at the top of the pile to read again.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via NetGalley, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
