Deal with the Devil by Kit Rocha

Deal with the Devil (Mercenary Librarians, #1)

by Kit Rocha

Deal with the Devil is Orphan Black meets the post-apocalyptic Avengers by USA Today and New York Times bestselling author duo Kit Rocha.

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.

Stopped reading on page 129. Just not that into it. Definitely less on the “mercenary librarians” front and more of an “urban contemporary romance that actually just so happens to take place in a dystopian future” vibe.

So much of the book is just Nina looking at Knox and going, “mmm he looks damn fine,” or Knox ogling Nina's ass when she walks away. This started pretty much immediately when they met and continued throughout. I thought it was a bit eye-rolly. Like, really, you can't think of anything else right now?

Other than that, at least the part I read had a lacking plot. It was just travelling to a location so I found it quite boring.

Really this read like a typical romance book with the setting swapped out. And that's absolutely fine, it just wasn't what I was looking for.
