As a fan of Kit Rocha’s Beyond and Gideon’s Riders series, I feel like we’ve been waiting forever for this new series, but after reading Deal With the Devil, I have to say it was worth the wait! ~ JavaGirl – Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

 

 

Synopsis:

Nina is an information broker with a mission—she and her team of mercenary librarians use their knowledge to save the hopeless in a crumbling America.

Knox is the bitter, battle-weary captain of the Silver Devils. His squad of supersoldiers went AWOL to avoid slaughtering innocents, and now he’s fighting to survive.

They’re on a deadly collision course, and the passion that flares between them only makes it more dangerous. They could burn down the world, destroying each other in the process…

Or they could do the impossible: team up.

This is the first book in a near-future science fiction series with elements of romance.

 

 

 

I feel like we’ve been waiting forever for this new series, but after reading Deal With the Devil, I have to say it was worth the wait. The first book in a new series is always the hardest to read, especially with a large ensemble of characters and world-building. It took me a while to get into this story because of that, but the more familiar I became with this world and these characters, I really started to care about them and enjoy the story.

Kit Rocha’s world building is complex, as are the characters and plot. I have to admit I struggled at first to separate this world from the Beyond world, but once I did, I was all in. The characters are intriguing ,to say the least and the story had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I knew it would all work out, but wasn’t sure just how they were going to pull it off. As crazy as the solution was, it didn’t seem so, in the context of the world these characters inhabit.

I’m already eager for the next book!
