Science Fiction
From Goodreads:
In the
aftermath of a deadly alien invasion, a band of survivors fights on…
In a
world gone to hell, Elle Milton—once the darling of the Sydney social scene—has
carved a role for herself as the communications officer for the toughest
commando team fighting for humanity’s survival—Hell Squad. It’s her chance to
make a difference and make up for horrible past mistakes…despite the fact that
its battle-hardened commander never wanted her on his team.
When
Hell Squad is tasked with destroying a strategic alien facility, Elle knows
they need her skills in the field. But first she must go head to head with
Marcus Steele and convince him she won’t be a liability.
Marcus
Steele is a warrior through and through. He fights to protect the innocent and
give the human race a chance to survive. And that includes the beautiful, gutsy
Elle who twists him up inside with a single look. The last thing he wants is to
take her into a warzone, but soon they are thrown together battling both the
alien invaders and their overwhelming attraction. And Marcus will learn just
how much he’ll sacrifice to keep her safe.
Marcus: Hell Squad is a good start to a new series by Anna Hackett. As the blurb says it is set in a future where aliens have
invaded and almost wiped out humans.
Hackett does a good job in getting the world building and back-story up
and running. After that the main
tension is between Marcus and Elle.
Both are intense characters.
Marcus just wants to protect his squad and keep Elle out of the
field. Elle just want it do her
job even if it means putting herself in danger. Add to fact that both are attracted to the other but
covering it up adds to the tension.
All in all a satisfying story.
Don’t
look for any solutions to the alien problem but do look for an intense romance. Also look at the other members of the squad for hooks to the
next story in the series.
Amazon
Digital Services published Marcus: Hell Squad by Anna Hackett in 2015.
I
received an ARC of Marcus from Netgalley in return for an honest review.
