Description
Monkey’s Luck. That’s what the Commonwealth citizens call the kind of hard luck that turns even the good stuff bad. For a not-even-legally-human woman like Kat, it’s the only kind of luck there is. Why else would her regiment be shipped out to an unknown post at the edge of human space in the cargo hold of an old freighter?
When a Lupan hunting pack blows out the freighter’s hold, Kat figures her luck has changed. With an old ship and a new identity, she plans to put her bloody past behind her for good. Or so she thinks. The other two survivors: a pretty boy slave and a mysterious Lupan officer have different plans. Worse, the rescue team delivers Kat to her worst enemy.
Trapped on a base where nothing and no one is what they seem, can she stay alive long enough to outrun her monkey's luck?

Synopsis: Kat is in the military, and has changed everything about who she used to be: her looks, her classification. Her natural genetics would have had her classified much lower, as she wouldn't have even been classified as human. Kat hasn't had the best luck, and when the ship that she is on is attacked by Lupans, she knows that her luck is running par for the course, since this was supposed to be a civilian ship. She discovers another survivor on the ship, and they find that one of the Lupans was left on board. Kat tries to kill him, but when he turns out to be still alive, Kat formulates a plan to try and figure out what was really going on for this mission.
When the ship is taken to a battle station that shouldn't be there, Kat knows that her plans for getting help and figuring out what is going on may have hit a snag.
What I liked: Kat. She worked hard and knew her limitations, but worked around them, rather than letting them define her. She always had the best of intentions, and worked with everything that she knew or could find out to figure out the best solution, even if that ended up making things worse. Kat had worked to overcome some pretty horrific things in her past, but she didn't let it define her. I liked that Kat was willing to listen to things, instead of just going by what the majority thought.
What I didn't like: the story felt as though it was rushed, with a lot crammed in to a short amount of story space.
Overall impression: I enjoyed the world building and would definitely like to read more about Kat, Romeo and Roy.
