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

Or they could do the impossible: team up. They could burn down the world, destroying each other in the process… They’re on a deadly collision course, and the passion that flares between them only makes it more dangerous. His squad of supersoldiers went AWOL to avoid slaughtering innocents, and now he’s fighting to survive. Knox is the bitter, battle-weary captain of the Silver Devils. 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. Kit Rocha’s (the writing pair of Donna Herren and Bree Bridges) Mercenary Librarians series, which launches with Deal with the Devil definitely has that interesting premise – librarians are basically heroes and need to get lost files from the Library of Congress. So when an interesting hook is thrown into the mix, well…the story can be that much more fun. I'll stick to the traditional relationships I've found here and muddle through the young adultish intimacy.Post-apocalyptic novels can be fun, but the subset of speculative fiction is a fairly popular setting. And yes, I do know that the authors have a truly filthy menage series out there, but I'm not interested in books like that. Will I read from these authors again? Yup. And I'm sure there were more valid reasons to dock a star, but this is the one that keeps sticking out for me. I know, I'm terrible for docking a star for lukewarm sex scenes. So when I realized that there was something building between Nina and Knox, I expected a lot of bow chicka wow wow and instead got some whomp whomp. So why didn't it get all the stars? Well, here's the deal: I was told that these authors write some seriously filthy sex scenes.

📚 there was even the apocalypse version of romance 📚 enough plot to carry over into another book and characters I want to get to know better 📚 destruction - again, who doesn't love it? 📚 mercenaries - they're the Silver Devils and when someone they care about is taken and threatened, they prove they're willing to do almost anything to get her back 📚 lethal librarians - Nina's a deadly clone, Maya is a human computer, and Dani. I bought the hardcover a while back from Book Outlet (thanks Book Outlet for always saving me money) and when the digital copy went on sale for 99 cents (was that a glitch that I was lucky enough to catch?), I grabbed my copy and promised myself that one day. Mind you, I waited until this book was available for a decent price because HOLY COW IS IT EXPENSIVE?! Like seriously. After plenty of recommendations to read this author duo, I finally took the plunge.
