Red-Haired Ash Reads

When Hunter Squad’s pilot crashes alone in the monster infested mountains, Hunter Squad rushes to save her. Marc tries to act like he is just rescuing any of his teammates, but that isn’t true. Colbie means so much to him, but he doesn’t know if he can let her in. But after dealing with dangerous monsters and situations, he may finally be able to admit his feelings. 

As a huge fan of Hell Squad, I of course am really enjoying Hunter Squad. It is fantastic to be back in this world and to finally see what the future looks like after the defeat of the Gizzida. Marc is the son of Gabe and Emerson (Book #3 of Hell Squad), and much like his father and twin, struggles to show his true feelings. I enjoyed watching Marc slowly come to terms with his feelings for Colbie and that when he finally admitted them to her, he went all out with a big declaration. Marc is a very protective man and we do see some tension between him and Colbie at the thought of her being in danger, but it doesn’t last long (which I appreciated). 

Colbie is the daughter of pilot Flnn and Layla (Book #10 of Hell Squad) and like her father, is a very capable pilot. Colbie was smart and capable, but also cognizant of her inexperience being on the front lines of monster fighting but that doesn’t stop her from fighting back. I really liked her and that she didn’t let Marc push her around. 

Colbie and Marc’s relationship was very fast paced and filled with danger. They have been crushing on each other for years but Colbie’s crash finally pushes them into admitting it and acting on those feelings. Like most of the books in this series, I enjoyed the mix of relationship building and dangerous monster attacks. 

One of the small things that happened in this book that I loved was seeing some of the Hell Squad and Berserks back on the battlefield to help their kids. I love seeing them still kicking ass and trying to protect their family. Also it is just great to see how these original warriors’ roles have changed in the community. 

Overall, this was another fantastic book for this series. I look forward to reading the next one since there is a new threat against humans and I am very curious to see what will happen next with it, especially since it seems to be targeting specific people. 

TW: plane crash; near death experience; violence, blood, and gore; human and animal experimentation;
