I read mainly sci-fi and supernatural in modern day, and some fantasy and romance.
My favourite author is Peter F Hamilton because of his long, epic stories in universes where people are generally decent and the endings lean hopeful rather than bleak.
I am wanting to read a book or preferably series that's
-Set in a walled village/city/region (kind of like Attack on Titan or Pacific Rim) with monsters, horrors, robots or whatever roaming outside trying to breach the walls.
-Either modern day, alternate reality, recent history or near future or post-apocalyptic (Like Terry Brooks's The Druid of Shannara where it's a tech world gone to ruin then magic).
-I'd like the book to include some wall defence either by the character or even in the background like the character watching a TV news show of a wall breach etc.
-Adult or maybe YA
-Preferably not zombies, but ok for zombie based books if they really fit what I'm wanting.
-Ideally less than 20ish years old
Authors I like
Peter f Hamilton – All of it, He's my favorite author, his big scope, writing style, positive stories/endings.
Stephen Baxter – Xeelee series, Flood/Ark, The Long Earth,
Stephanie Meyer – The Host is light and good, Eclipse Saga is good,
Jim Butcher – Dresden Files are great though a little ..90s,
Alistair Reynolds – Revelation Space especially
Terry Prichett – Mainly the joint writings with Stephen Baxter, his other work is a little YA I guess.
Anne McCaffrey – Dragon Riders of Pern (Though read many years ago) & The Ship Who Sang
Books
Red White & Royal Blue – It's fun, well written and light
Zodiac Academy series – Harry Potter but with adults
Melanie Rawn's Exiles trilogy – Just well written and interesting
The Demon Cycle Series by Peter V. Brett – Interesting world, well written
The Gap Cycle Series by Stephen R. Donaldson is well written and I like the series apart from the torture/rape stuff.

I think you should read the Pacific Rim forum-RP fic Cherno Alpha vs. The World, which is about the defense of the city of Vladivostok as the rest of Earth falls to the kaiju menace.
Otherwise, there’s always 1632 and its defense of a single US town transported into wartime Europe.
