Deal With the Devil

This was a lot of fun, good characters, and a warm sense of a found family, the action was not too tense, and just in general I really enjoyed this one, also just the right amount of spice :)

DNF, the romance is my dystopian future was a bit too odd for me.

It had less "librarian" content than I hoped but it was so so good! The fighting scenes read as choreographed (and I actually enjoyed them, although it's not my usual cup of tea), I loved the characters and the setting, and I cannot wait for #2 :)

"It got quiet. Are you guys dead or making out?"

This was a fun, easy, guilty pleasure (ha) read. Romance isn't normally my jam, but I really liked the mercenary librarian aspect. Being a kickass information broker in a dystopian sci-fi America setting is super appealing, I'm not gonna lie. The setting was compelling, and the dialogue was snappy and fitting. The book does a good job being what it is.

The romance aspect isn't very organic, but when is it ever in romance books? The author goes to great lengths describing how hot all the main characters are, and then they hook up because, well, they're hot and that's just what hot people do, right? The relationships feel stilted and forced, but that's probably a personal opinion from someone outside the target genre lovers.
