Official Summary: “Helga ATE is finally getting her chance. Chosen for a coveted slot in the glorious Nighthawks, Special Forces, she will certainly be able to prove herself as more than a half-alien outcast. But when her team deploys to the moon of Dyn, tragedy strikes and Helga is put to the ultimate test–survival. Facing insurmountable odds and escaping torture, Helga and her mentor, Cilas Mec, are forced to face a fate worse than death. Battling brain-eating aliens and human pirates, the odds are stacked against them in every way. The rescue should be coming. Unless the Alliance is involved in this botched mission… Can Helga survive the odds to get out alive, or will she be the last of the Nighthawks?” – Goodreads
Review: I liked how it threw the elite group of the elitists on its head. Straight away schtill hits the fan, everyone is tested to their very limits from the get-go. Even when she officially became a Nighthawk she still made mistakes, she let her anger and her focus pull her away from what she shouldn’t do. And people called her out for it. She realized what she did and stepped up and apologized. She knew she wasn’t perfect, knew that she thyped up. (Love it when an Author makes their own swear words.)
It wasn’t overly predictable either, it had its unique twists and ways to keep the story fresh. You have all this action happening on one layer, while on another layer someone or some people are working against them. It was interesting to see them figure it out.

The flaws make her more relatable. That’s awesome when authors make their own words. I get funny looks when i use a made up swear word from a book😂😂
