As the battle against the invading aliens intensifies, a group of bad boy bikers and mercenaries will stand and fight for humanity’s survival… join the soldiers fighting back…and came face to face with his best friend’s little sister—the bold, vibrant, off-limits woman he’s always wanted. Now the beautiful, tattooed Indy is his squad’s comms officer…and she hates his guts.
Indy Bennett lost her parents and brother in the alien attack, and every day, she vows to suck the marrow out of life. She’s also doing her bit in the fight, as Squad Three’s comms officer, even if it means seeing the man who broke her young heart. Griff was once her brother’s best friend, a boy she adored, but now she knows she needs to steer clear of the hard-edged man who still draws her like a moth to a flame.
Griff vows to claim Indy as his. The only problem is, Indy is having none of it. As their fiery attraction explodes, they find themselves embroiled in the hunt for the aliens’ unexplained octagon weapon, and a mysterious survivor town where all is not what it seems. Both Griff and Indy will have to learn to let go of the hurts of the past if they have any chance of not just surviving, but having a future.
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 a bold comms officer and the berserker who once broke her heart ). 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.

Squad Three Berserker Griff has lived through hell. Formerly a cop, he was betrayed and spent time in a supermax prison. He learned to trust no one. Once he escapes he finds that not all of his past is gone, his best friend’s little sister is still alive and is now their comms officer. Indy Bennett lost her whole family during the invasion. Now she is focused on helping take them down by being the comms officer for Squad Three, even if it means dealing with the man who broke her young heart. Griff has finally made a move for Indy after all these years, but she wants nothing to do with it. While fighting the Gizzida these two have to learn how to let go of the past to have a future together.
Griff has been an interesting character throughout the series. He is an ex-cop who was in prison but we don’t know the circumstances until now. Griff is filled with a lot of anger and rage for what happened to him. He was betrayed by people he trusted and now feels like he can’t trust anyone. While he has wanted Indy for years he has pushed his feelings aside but watching his fellow squad members fall pushes him to give them a chance. I love that Indy doesn’t give in to Griff right away. He hurt her badly and she doesn’t feel that she can trust him anymore. It takes a lot of work, for both of them, to break through their past and actually have a relationship.
Indy is a strong, beautiful woman who doesn’t take any shit. I quite like her. She doesn’t let any of the berserkers push her around, especially Griff. I love that the squad treats her like a little sister. She is determined to live her life to the fullest, with or without Griff. She does Griff a chance but she doesn’t make it easy on him, which is just what he needed.
Overall this was a great action packed addition to the series and I am still loving all the Berserkers. I cannot wait to see Dom and Tane fall.
It was good to catch up with these great people. I’m happy that Griff and Indy finally got together. I’m always happy to “hear” Hemi’s laugh. I’m looking forward to Dom’s story and also Tane’s.
I am still worried how this series will end. The Gizzida are deadly and always have some new hell for the teams to face.
Another winner by Anna! A great read with yet another beserker finding his true partner. Sad that there are only a few left in the series.
I enjoy the entire series.
We finally get to Griff and learn that even though he is an ex-cop and ex-jailbird, he is still 10% hero and 100% irritating where Indy is concerned!
Griff had to put Indy on his “No Go” list when she grew from his best friends little sister into the stunning, carefree and sexy woman that she is. But the reasons for him going to prison no longer exist and now he has find a new calling working with the beserkers. And he never thought that his new best friend would be an Ex-Mafia Enforcer!
Indy has crushed on Griff for years. She tried to get him interested in her once but he shot her down. But she just can’t seem to get him out of her system, she is even his teams Comms Officer. But try as she might, Griff just keeps putting up walls between them – distancing himself from her. But she knows that something is eating him up inside but will she be ready for the bombshell revelation when it’s dropped?
Good Grief, Indy is an artist, tattooist, former nightclub manager and all around badass! She may be non military/law enforcement but she cares for her team and will go to hell and drag them back if she has to! Griff’s revelation, I actually called it before it came! Go Me!! His character may be gruff, but he is actually a really great male! He’ll do anything he can to keep Indy safe, even deny their attraction and he doesn’t want to explore his time in prison with her, he knows that could send her down a dark path.
The berserkers are falling at a fast clip, it seems the nuttier you are, the faster you fall!
Griff and Indy’s story grabbed this reader from the very beginning. For years Griff has had to face demons from his past, hiding truths while battling alien invaders with Indy watching over him from a far literally. Each time I try to describe this book and how great a read it is, I have to backspace because each sentence has spoilers and I’m not one for those. I’ve been addicted to Hell Squad from the very first book and Anna never disappoints, Griff’s book is no different. Great Job Anna!
Hell Squad is back with the spotlight on Squad 3’s (the Berserkers) Griff and Indy. Of all the characters in this series, these two have known each other from childhood and their secrets and long buried emotions come in to play. Plenty of action and a little closer to the final battle. Enjoy!
I love the Hell Squad and this book is great. You should read them in order. That way you get the best experience.
Anna Hackett is a fantastic writer of sci-fi/fantasy, with the romance as the icing on the cake.
I highly recommend this one.
Great couple. Loved Indy. Griff not as much. But over all the story is awesome. The dialogue witty and fun. I really enjoyed getting to know this couple. I recommend this story and series

This story grabs your attention and takes you on a journey with spine-chilling suspense, hair-raising action, witty dialogue, dynamic vivid scene descriptions, camaraderie, fiery romance, and a fantastic HEA.
The Gizzida have designed a new weapon; their plan is to destroy the human race. Griff a tough as nails powerful berserker has a secret from his past that haunts him. Indy an independent sassy woman is the Comms Officer for Squad Three. Together they face horrific life-threatening danger. Reaching their happy ending requires facing the gut-wrenching past and putting it behind them.
THRILLING fast moving read until the conclusion. Admirable characters with a creative plot. Backstories give the reader insight into the characters personas. A convincing romance shines; Griff and Indy are a perfect match. The author does show that communication is imperative in a loving relationship. Relished this read.
I loved this book. The Hell Squad 3 is always ready to hit back at the Gizzida. Griff in his berserker rage is unstoppable. When he sets his sights on Indy the fireworks are mesmerizing. The progress of the relationship was full and snark, payback and hotness. Selena creates so much mystery. Awesome read and I highly recommend it. I received an advanced copy of this book and freely leave this honest review.
Having been betrayed and with his life destroyed in the worst way possible, Griff was still struggling with ire and desperation. The berserkers were known for their wilderness and risky ways but, Griff was too much. Could the woman who had filled his mind and his heart help him to chase away his demons? Indy had been rejected before but now she was willing to fight for a second chance. Would they discover Gizzida’s secret weapon on time to have a tomorrow? Liked the detailed descriptions and narrations that make me visualize the exciting adventures and feel strong emotions while reading. The fights were intense, the drama strong and the characters full of passion and emotions. Fast paced, good suspense, surprises, violence against the evil Gizzida, interesting technology, romance and passion. Waiting for the ex-mobster story. Think it will be juicy.
Indy was the little sister of Griff’s best friend. He knew her before the Gizzida attacked, and she had a crush on him when she was a teen. Indy tried to do something about it when she was 20, but Griff had to shut her down because of his friendship with her brother. Naturally, she was hurt. It turns out that Griff was betrayed and ended up spending time in prison, only escaping when the Gizzida attacked. Now both he and Indy are older and both are stationed at the same place, fighting the Gizzida. They are both still attracted to each other, but Indy isn’t willing to risk being rebuffed again.
These two make a good team. Indy is the communications officer for the Berserkers, to which Griff belongs. The Berserkers are the group of warriors who go in and get things done when very courageous actions are needed. They fight hard, play hard, and love fully. Griff will do whatever it takes to get Indy to accept a relationship with him, but he’s hiding an important secret that may change the way Indy sees him.
There’s growth within both of these characters throughout this story. The pacing is fast and furious—this book was hard to put down. It really helps if the reader has read some or all of the prior books in this series, as it will all make more sense and be a better reading experience. The world building in this series is amazing! Ms. Hackett pulls the reader in and refuses to let go with this series!
This is can be read as a stand-alone, but it is even more enjoyable when the series is read in order. Griff and Indy knew each other before the Invasion, but now they have a second chance at a relationship. Fully developed main characters and interesting secondary characters make for an amazing story. There is action, alien creatures, advanced technology, humor, mystery, suspense, romance, and humans fighting to survive. The major story arc continues, but there isn’t a cliff hanger ending. The main characters get their HEA.
Another great story, I confess to the Hell Squad series is my favorite. This book has it all, it’s action packed, great romance, and still a little humorous. I can’t wait for the next book. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Action-adventure romance at its best!
When you are fighting for your life, for all humanity, there’s no room for cowardice. You need to exploit every opportunity. The Berserker Squad goes all out! Edge of your seat action, lives dangling by a frayed cord, and through it all, a love that makes everything worth while. Griff and Indy shine in this battle with the gizzida. More surprises await than you could ever imagine! Not to be missed.
Shew! Griff and Indy were hot! I love a woman who has a sense of self and is a strong believer in herself, and Indy is definitely one of those.
Griff has a rough past to overcome after being betrayed by a fellow cop who set him up and sent him “down the river”. After escaping a supermax prison, during the invasion, he eventually ended up at Blue Mountain base where he joined forces with the other soldiers, and to his disbelief also found Indy. Indy was the little sister of his best friend and he’d sworn off her, due to her age and his friendship with her brother.
Indy was stranded in Australia when the invasion began, and quite shocked to run into the man who’d denied her 10 years previously. She winds up acting as Squad Three’s com officer and is thrown into extremely frequent contact with Griff. She does her best to look through him and tolerate him but wants absolutely nothing else to do with him. She doesn’t want her heart broken by him again.
So, here’s where we readers pick up the story. Griff has spent the past year trying to get through to Indy, and Indy does her level best to avoid him. Griff is done waiting. He wants Indy and he’s going to convince her they belong together.
We’ve got new and improved aliens to battle and the ultimate weapon to destroy before the Gizzida make their final push to destroy what’s left of humanity.
Anither fantastic action packed romance by Anna Hackett!
