Junkyard Cats
After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug Aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old junkyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is no longer human, and the junkyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets that she has guarded for years.
This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane, a note clutched in his fingers, a note warning her of a coming attack.
Someone knows who she is. Someone knows what she is guarding. Will she be able to protect the junkyard and its secrets? Will she be able to stop the coming attack without the recon satellites overhead discovering what is hidden on the barren land? Or is the life she has built for herself over? Will she have to destroy everything she loves to keep her secrets out of the wrong hands?

What I think bothered me the most was that it never really felt like the story or the protagonist knew in which direction it wanted to go; hardcore survival, anxious and unsure warrior, defensive, fight back type or just plan old indifference?
This was my first time hearing a book by this author and the narrator but I might try to give them each a second chance down the line with something else. If anything to just alter my first impression of them.
