Publisher's Summary

As the battle against the invading aliens intensifies, a group of bad boy bikers and mercenaries will stand and fight for humanity's survival...

Squad Three berserker Dom Santora has an ugly past he can't forget. Born and raised in the darkness, he spent his life before the alien invasion as a Mafia enforcer. He's found some meaning fighting against the aliens with his fellow berserkers, but he knows his soul is too stained to ever find redemption. And there is no way he'll ever deserve the quiet beauty of a woman like Arden Carlisle.

When the raptors invaded, Arden lost her husband and children in the first horrible, bloody wave of the attack. Since that terrible night, she's survived, but she hasn't been living. Hollowed out by her grief, she's found a way to keep going as the comms officer for Squad Nine. But lately, color has started to seep back into her world, and the person she sees most clearly is the dark, handsome, and lethal Dom.

Dom and Arden are two damaged souls who find each other in the darkness. But the Gizzida are putting the final pieces of their endgame into place. The aliens want the Earth and to wipe out the human survivors once and for all. As Dom, Arden, and the berserkers work to find a deadly alien bomb, they uncover the true horror of the aliens' plans. To have any chance at love, life, and survival, Dom and Arden will have to fight harder than ever before.

Awesome story

BOOK REVIEW.......
Good story. Love love love me some Dom. I'm so going to miss these guys when the series ends. I was hoping that the books would reach a point where it was no longer new romances being written about but instead more in depth stories about the characters and their struggles. It would be nice to revisit all the characters again in new stories. Maybe even centered around non alien main stories but other types of troubles that life could bring up.


NARRATOR REVIEW.........
Narrator did a great job with the voices

L

Awesome series!

May we all possess the intestinal fortitude of these story characters in what may seem to be impossibly hard times.

Love these men

The heroism depicted in these stories is so honorable; like many of our military soldiers today. Despite this series being fiction, lots of the lessons learned could apply to everyday life. The love, loss, fear, can be applied to many situations. I love that sense of togetherness and wish this was true today. Getting closer to Tane and Salina’s story! Narrators are perfect for this series!

An Unstoppable Union

Dom and Arden are both damaged people struggling to get over their pasts but are able to find refuge in one another. With their story we learn how hurtful words can be when used as weapons meant to inflict pain and that forgetting can be difficult. Arden struggles with the pain of losing her entire family and being the only survivor. On the other hand, Dom struggles with the death of his mother and the deplorable acts he performed in servitude to a mafioso. Together they heal one another and forge an unstoppable union!!

Sophisticated and lovely

Hell Squad continues with dark Dom, ex-mafia enforcer, and lovely Arden. I liked this couple a lot. They were truly unique. I think of Arden as the ex-PTA/soccer mom who lost her loving husband and two children in the alien invasion. Dom was born of a mafia prostitute who died early, to be raised by the mafia boss as an enforcer. Wildly different before the invasion, yet somehow they make sense. I love that Arden is allowed to have a healthy love of her family, while respecting her new relationship without tons of guilt. She gathers her grit and forces herself past her fears. Dom is an awesome character- made for darkness. Part of the berserker crew that doesn’t quite fit- wears slacks and collared shirts, ex-mafia with an ex-cop friend. Truly unique. Of course there is typical action and alien killing and a couple of close calls- and the aliens even pull one over on the humans. But human grit and fortitude and love keep them fighting for the human race. Great job to the Audible narrators, as always!

Dom Book 18

As the Gizzida up their game for the destruction of Earth, two wounded souls find that they have a future worth fighting for. I loved reading Dom and Arden's story. One has lost everything while the other never had anything good. Great characters, plenty of action and steam make for a great read. Enjoy!

Who is the deadliest of them all?

As we near the end of the series we finally get down and dirty with Squad Three berserker Dom Santora. All the squad members are dangerous but none more so than Dom. the former Mafia enforcer. Born and raised in the darkness, he doesn't believe that he is worthy of love and no one will convince him otherwise. Not his team mates who he fights with and certainly not the lonely woman who threatens to draw him in. His soul is lost and there is no way that he will ever deserve the love a someone like Arden Carlisle.

Squad Nine's comms officer Arden barely survived losing her husband and children in the first horrible, bloody wave of the invasion. She will never risk her heart again. So why is she so drawn to the dark, handsome. and lethal Dom. She knows she should stay away but keeps finding reasons to be around him. He may be deadly but with him she wants to live again. To see colour in her life again. Can two damaged souls find solace in each others arms or will they live forever in the darkness.

As the Gizzida put the final pieces of their endgame into place just surviving may be an impossibility, let alone finding love amidst the apocalypse. The aliens want the Earth and to wipe out the human survivors once and for all and without a miracle they may get their wish. To have any chance at love, life, and survival, Dom and Arden and their fellow survivors will have to fight harder than ever before and it still might not be enough.

The end is in sight and the battles get ever more bloody as the aliens work towards humanities destruction. The only thing going for the people I have grown to love is the will to survive and the capacity find a reason to go on against unsurmountable odds. I love this series and will be sad when it finishes and I have to say goodbye to the characters I adore.

Awesome
