Synopsis

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

Knox: a bitter, battle-weary supersoldier who leads the Silver Devils, chooses that they go AWOL rather than slaughter innocents.

Teaming up gives them a chance to fix things in a big way. That is, if their strength (and passions) don't blow up their already shattered world.

"My advice? Cancel all your plans so you can read it in one delicious gulp."--Thea Harrison, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author

Deal with the Devil is the first book in a near-future science fiction series with elements of romance by USA Today and New York Times bestselling author duo Kit Rocha.

Synopsis

Orphan Black meets the post-apocalyptic Avengers in the vein of Ilona Andrews' Hidden Legacy series by USA Today and New York Times bestselling author duo Kit Rocha

The United States went belly up 45 years ago when our power grid was wiped out. Too few live in well-protected isolation while the rest of us scrape by on the margins. The only thing that matters is survival. By any means. At any cost.

Nina is an information broker with a mission: to bring hope to the darkest corners of Atlanta. She and her team of mercenary librarians use their knowledge to help those in need. But altruism doesn't pay the bills--raiding vaults and collecting sensitive data is where the real money is.

Knox is a bitter, battle-weary supersoldier who leads the Silver Devils, an elite strike squad that chose to go AWOL rather than slaughter innocents. Before the Devils leave town for good, they need a biochem hacker to stabilize the experimental implants that grant their superhuman abilities.

The problem? Their hacker's been kidnapped. And the ransom for her return is Nina. Knox has the perfect bait for a perfect trap: a lost Library of Congress server. The data could set Nina and her team up for years...

If they live that long.

`	lurkykitty , July 28, 2020 (view all comments by lurkykitty) Deal with the Devil is set in a future US in the Atlanta area in the 2080s. Solar flares and storms in the 2040s damaged infrastructure and destabilized the government. Energy wars followed. The southeastern US is controlled by a corporation called TechCorps. There is no regulation of genetic engineering, human experimentation and biometric implants. There is more cruelty than kindness, and corporations are more important than people. Nina is an escaped genetically engineered clone and leads a group of three women. They are a team of information brokers who try to save and distribute books and help their community. Garrett leads a squad of soldiers, the Silver Devils, who defected from the TechCorps. All of the characters are wanted by TechCorps and have a price on their head. They have special abilities so it's like reading about superheroes. Deal with the Devil has non-stop action and intrigue and really cool tech. A steamy yet conflicted romance develops between Nina and Garrett. The banter between the characters is fun and humorous. It was a great read and I'm really looking forward to the next book.

`	Cat , July 01, 2020 (view all comments by Cat) I've been obsessed with getting my hands on Deal with the Devil from the moment I heard 'mercenary librarians.' So having finished the book, I have to ask myself; was it worth the mad hunt to read this book? Yes, it certainly was. Though the librarian elements were slightly different than I expected, but not in a bad way. Picture all of the additional things that librarians do (that they frequently don't get credit for), and you'll have a solid understanding of what Nina does for her community in this book.
