Hellhound #1
Hellhound: Siege Engine
In 2148, Sergeant Clara Maker is more than halfway through her obligatory two years of service in the military when she becomes involved in a new wave of aggression in the war. She wants nothing more than to finish her duty tour and return to Earth, but whether she wants it or not, a career as a soldier may not be something she can escape. Not with her life intact.
Malak was genetically engineered to be a soldier. To end the war between humanity and the Cullers. Killing aliens comes naturally to him, but that life is not one he chose for himself. The same humans he was born to protect would fear and hate his kind if their existence ever became public. He has never had to choose between duty and instinct, programming or free choice. But when the day comes that his orders conflict with the best interests of his kind, the Sol Coalition may find that their greatest threat is not the aliens seeking their extinction, but their own creations.

I really enjoyed reading Hellhound and being immersed in the universe Suzanne presents. I bought this book a while back from a comic con in a city nearby. I met the author (who was really kind by the ways) and was initially intrigued by the art work of the new book. I decided, however, I would start from the beginning. The book remained in my want to read section until August of this year.
Right off the bat I gotta say, I really enjoyed reading Hellhound and being immersed in the universe Suzanne presents. It is really clear that she is a skilled writer through the way she builds up tension, and how she world-builds through her characters. The way she writes action too is really impressive. I have read action scenes before and they are usually hard to follow and can become very messy. Not here. The action vividly portrayed and messy as hell, but in a good way. My only gripes with the story are with one of the character who I feel like could be more like-able if we saw more of his human side but that is something that I can mostly overlook.
Over all I would recommend it! The action is amazing, the universe is very immersive, and the build up to the main conflict is really satisfying.
