As the battle against the invading aliens intensifies, a group of bad boy bikers and mercenaries will stand and fight for humanity’s survival… 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.
Note to readers: This sci fi romance contains a lot of action (dangerous missions and deadly aliens), tough warriors (the badass berserkers of Squad Three) and a steamy romance (lots of sexy times between an elegant comms officer and a dark, lethal berserker). So if you like it fast, and gritty, and sexy, this is for you!
Includes a preview of Edge of Eon, first book in the Eon Warriors series.

Dom is the epitome of Tall, Dark and Deadly. He had no choice in the family he was born into and the Mob aren’t exactly the best examples of how to live your life!
Arden has been in a deep pit of despair since the invasion. She lost her beloved family and she has slowly climbed back into some kind of normal. But Dom, Dom makes her feel all kinds of things that she never thought she would. Passion, Desire and dare she say it…love!
Dom may believe his soul is too dark for Arden, but she brings light into his life. Similarly, Dom brings out her inner wild woman. She may have had love with her husband but maybe not the passion that Dom shows her. There are more variants of the Gizzida than you can shake a stick at but I do enjoy hating the slimy so-and-so’s! The teams are just so full of mickey-taking, their camaraderie is just so true to life.
I’m looking forward to seeing a certain Berserker and his green-fingered, nature-loving, alien get their time in the sun!
Love this whole series. Great characters, really good strong storyline. Some danger & finding love in an uncertain world. Absolutely recommend anything by this author.
I’m not sure why I like this series so much. It’s actually stressful. Sometimes it seems as though the Gizzida can’t be beaten. I won’t lose hope as long as the Beserkers, Team 9, and Hell Squad continue to fight.
Dom and Arden deserve some happiness. I’m happy for them.
This series is coming to an end in 2020. There will be a book with three short stories about three survivors outside of the enclave and after that will be Tane’s story.
I love Anna Hackett, especially this series!
Dom and Arden’s story was a fast paced adventure of redemption and romance. Dom is the deadly, knife wielding berserker that no one really knows anything about, except that he was in the Mafia. He is intense and closed off from everyone, except his team. Arden lost her family during the alien invasion. She is finally coming out of her grief and starting to live again, including being attracted to Dom.
“She could see the beauty now. For so long, the world around her had been nothing but dreary shades of gray.”
Dom has never been free. He was born into the most dangerous mafia family in Italy and he did everything he could to survive. After the invasion he dedicates all his time protecting the survivors as a way of redeeming himself. This dangerous bad boy just wants to be a good person and thinks he never can be, until Arden. Arden sees the truth and helps him realize he is actually a good man, who is not ruled by his past deeds. Dom learns to lean and trust Arden and finds a new reason to fight.
“You are a man who was born into a shitty life. A man who survived the best he could, and then found a way out. You’re a man who fights to protect, who risks his life for others. You’re also a good friend and a good man.”
Arden has her own demons she has to fight through, the death of her family. It was a horrific way to lose everyone and she struggles with the PTSD from it. She learns to lean on Dom and starts to let go of the horror of their deaths and remembers the good times. These two had an intense and emotional connection that I just loved.
“I love you. Light and dark, good and bad, my feelings for you will never change.” – Arden
This book was very intense. The fight against the Gizzida is really ramping up and becoming extremely dangerous. They have new creatures and a new weapon that can wipe out the rest of humanity. We are coming to the end of the fight and the tension is off the charts. I am sad that the series is winding down because I am so invested in the lives of these men and women and their fight for survival. That said can we please have Tane and Selena’s book already! I have been waiting years for it.
Also, I need more information about Nate?? That small glimpse we get of him was very interesting and I know he is going to be important later!
Reader Warning:
Hero was abused as a child and forced to work for the Mafia (referenced).
Heroine’s husband and kids killed (described on page).
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!
Still grieving for her lost family, Arden was feeling that the emptiness would not leave her but, there was a dark berserker that intrigued her. Could she dare to look further? With his seedy past Dom was feeling unworthy and unable to redeem himself. He had never had anything he could call his and now found himself struggling with feelings and emotions he could not control. With the Gizzida’s secret weapon threatening the humanity they had to get hold of everything that could help them fight. There were lot of surprises in store. The scary Gizzida were playing harder. Could our heroes have the upper hand? Many strong emotions and I cried, laughed and screamed while reading some scenes. Action, lot of suspense, violence, romance and passion in this book. Liked the author’s creativity and wittiness that keep me enjoying the different characters and situations that they had to deal with.
As usual great characters and story. Loved it

DISCLOSURE – On a volunteer basis I reviewed a free prerelease copy via the author.
Dom’s story seizes your attention with spine-chilling suspense, hair-raising action, witty dialogue, dynamic vivid scene descriptions, camaraderie, molten-hot romance, and a well deserved happily ever after.
Dom has the reputation of being the most dangerous man in Hell Squad. A dark haunting past keeps him from love commitments. Every time he eyes sweet Arden tempting fiery desires flare up inside him. He is hotness personified which has Arden melting at a glance. Arden’s agonizing past preys heavy on her heart but being comms officer for Squad Nine helps. Feeling the need to do more to help fight the villainous Gizzda she takes on a risky job. Horrific life-threatening moments threaten their happy ending.
THRILLING page-turner with praise-worthy characters and a well-written creative plot. Informative backstories help you understand the heroine and hero. Sweet Arden becomes a courageous heroine and Dom is much more than a worthy hero. A convincing romance shines with trust and loving devotion; these two fit well together. The author shows that it is pivotal to let go of the past to have a contented life. I found this to be a most entertaining read; loved it.
Here is another riveting story by this author. Arden lost everything to the Gizzida. Surfacing from her hellish grief she finds herself attracted to bad boy Dom. Hot, moody and with a violent history they make for an unusual pairing. I love the depth of this story and the layers of grief, love and hope. The characters are unique and some are out of this world amazing. I received an advanced copy of this book and freely leave this honest review.
I loved Dom and Arden’s story. Lots of action and enough steam to make anyone happy.
I Highly Recommend it.
Fast and furious action, hot romance!
Both Dom and Arden have some insecurities, but it’s good to see them gain solace in each other’s company. Once they work out the rough edges, they make a very appealing couple.
OMG, the monstrosities these people have to face! The Gizzida are ever ‘improving’ the creatures with which they attack Earth’s survivors. The Berserkers assigned to find their most horrific weapon soon find out what the Gizzida have in store. Hold on to your hats, ladies and gents, you’re in for one incredible, danger-filled experience!
This can be read as a stand-alone, but it is more enjoyable when the series is read in order. Even after so many stories in the series, this still just as exciting, amazing, and extraordinary as the first. There is action, humor, strength of the human spirit, hope, determination, twists, aliens, and romance. The hero and heroine get their romantic HEA, but the main conflict all these survivors are struggling with isn’t over just yet.
I just loved reading Arden and Dom’s story! This is one of my favorite series, this book is filled with action and the interaction and chemistry between all the characters is wonderful. I can’t wait for the next book. Anna Hackett just keeps writing winners in my book. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
