Review: Deal with the Devil by Kit Rocha

Heather's thoughts on Deal with the Devil by Kit Rocha. A nook we didn't know we needed!

Title: Deal with the Devil Series: Mercenary Librarians Author: Kit Rocha Genre: Dystopian Romance Standalone: This is the first book in a series.

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…

~**~ ARC Review: Ivan (Gideon’s Riders #3) by Kit Rocha ~**~ (Link in bio) Release Date: March 28th, 2018 Description As the sheltered princess of Sector One, Maricela’s life is defined by duty: to her people and to her family. Her wealth and influence have allowed her to build a better world, but they come with a price—the responsibility to secure political stability with a practical marriage. Maricela cherishes the idea of marrying for love, but there’s not much romance in the endless line of suitors interested only in prestige and power. And her handsome, brooding new bodyguard isn’t helping the situation. Ivan is the perfect, deadly warrior, a man trained from childhood to be the ultimate protector to the Rios family. His focus on keeping her safe is intense–and a little intoxicating. When the threat of danger cracks his icy control, Maricela realizes she’s not the only one fighting against temptation. Ivan knows that the blood on his hands makes him unworthy of the pure-hearted princess. But from the first kiss, their forbidden affair feels inevitable. He can give her a glimpse of life outside her gilded cage and a lover who wants the woman instead of the crown. The only thing he can never do is promise her forever. Because spurning her noble suitors to marry her bodyguard wouldn’t just be a scandal. It could set off a political firestorm that would tear Sector One apart. #KitRocha #Ivan #GideonsRiders #SectorOne #ARC #Review #ComingSoon #dystopian #romance #bookstagram #blogger #ontheblog #bibliophile #bookworm #booksnwineblog #blessed #bookishAF #bookgeek #hawaiigirl #igreads #readersofinstagram #OKane4Life #TeamSix #TeamBren #ReviewCrew

“I'm fine that there are politicians being generous. It's their job to occasionally show humanity to violent monsters because diplomacy.

My job is to write angry words about how monsters who abuse their power don't win in the end, so I'm proceeding accordingly.”

Our job, writers (speaking to fiction writers, here), isn’t to write the truth in factual ways.

Our job is to write the truth in creative ways, so that our audiences are entertained and educated, amused and enlightened. Aggravated and Motivated.

If you’re constantly told, “they’re too powerful! we cannot possibly win against them!” ...eventually people will not only absorb this, but internalize it, and put back into the universe this...drek...as their belief system.

Our job as writers is to show others ways we can win.

Some of them will be highly improbable...but that’s okay.  Even writing stories about magic spells and/or space orcs fightng off the Big Bad Evil Things still encourages our audiences to try.

Because they’ve got an example before them, one of “somewhere out there in the multiverse, there’s a universe where the BBET doesn’t get to win. And even if I don’t have a laser gun/spell thing, I know that if I keep trying, I will find the way that works for my own situation.”

And the more stories we tell of triumph against Big Bad Evil Things, the more examples we have.  The more examples we have, the more we will absorb, internalize...and strive to make our own Happy Ending come true.

Examples often become motivation, after all...so make sure you throw in some victory-earning motivations, fellow writers.

...One thing to consider is not necessarily showing a victory against a BBET in your stories.  Sometimes it’s more important to show the steps to attaining victory, or the steps to holding off a defeat.  In my political/first contact series, First Salk War, the female protagonist comes across as a bit overly idealistic and almost obsessed with being The Perfect Public Servant...but she’s doing so in a way that is didactic, “...intended to teach, particularly in having moral instruction as an ulterior motive.”

But she’s not so much doing it for everyone else as she’s primarily doing it for herself.  She’s doing the equivalent of looking up & looking around frequently to make sure the road she’s busy paving is not being paved straight to Hell.  The only way you can prevent that road from being paved down into Hell is to look up & around, and be constantly checking your route against a big moral compass.

What we hear or see or read frequently is going to be the biggest thing we will have to check ourselves against. The biggest constant that we will absorb, internalize, and reflect back out into the world.  This means of course Jackie MacKenzie has to constantly remind herself of her moral compass.  Not just for her own road thorugh life, but because she’s representing a helluva lotta people.

The day she stops reminding herself frequently to do these moral checks...is the day she stops being a public servant and starts becoming an immoral politician--someone more concerned about power grabs than people protectings.  So yes, she’s going to constantly remind herself of her moral values.  Every single high-ranking government official in the Terran United Planets has to recite a godawful long list of things they will & won’t do while they’re in office, wielding the power that they wield, for that reason.

To constantly check their moral compass and the direction they’re headed for accuracy.

You can do this against a Big Bad Evil Thing that’ll be the climactic fight in your story...but you can (and should in many cases) also do it as a daily life thing, in the struggle to avoid doing the Little Lame Evil Things that also contribute to your daily doom.

In the above quote, “...write angry words about how monsters who abuse their power don't win in the end,“ writing about those abuses of power, and how to resist those abuses of power, is part of the overall victory against the Big Bad Evil Thing (aka the monsters mentioned).

So naturally, that is part of how Jackie wins. It might come across as annoying, but then life-jackets are annoying to wear, yet in the eyes of someone who wants to live (in Jackie’s case, live in a world without major abuses of political power), we still have to wear them, and wear them every single time we get in a boat that’s going out across the water.

I’m going to keep writing angry words about power-abusing monsters don’t get to win.

I want that to be the lesson every person in this world takes to heart...and is motivated enough to help make it actually happen.

This one's been on my radar for a while. It looks so fun! Described as Orphan Black meets post-apocalyptic Avengers. How does that not get your juices flowing! #DealWithTheDevil is the first in the new Mercenary Librarians series by @KitRocha, which is the writing duo of @totallydonna and @mostlybree. SciFi with a bit of romance. Comes out July 28. If you take Mercenary Librarians and The Janitors of the Apocalypse by @jimchines, do we have a new #SF subgenre? . . #bookaddict #bookstagram #booktreasure #booksandcats #catsandbooks #catswithbooks #catstagram #catsofinstagram #instakitty #amreading #bookish #scifi #fantasy (at Madison, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_u9wAXgLRk/?igshid=4bu5ptvri3ek

I find @mostlybree on Twitter (who is half of @kitrocha) to be a good person to get recs from if you like @unpretty and her writing.

So you seem like someone who might know these things: do you know of, or know where I can get recommendations/reviews of, any good, slightly trashy, m/m paranormal romance novels? (In my opinion, a good romance novel has to be a little bit trashy, like, fun and a bit cheesy and finds the balance between not taking itself too seriously but still giving a good emotionally compelling story.)

that’s a good question! i know smart bitches, trashy books has an m/m romance tag, but that’s not really their focus so it’s not exactly a crowded field (and there’s even less of specifically paranormal romance). i’ve heard some good things about the psycop series, but i haven’t actually gotten around to reading them and don’t really have any personal recs beyond that

BEYOND SERIES REBRANDED COVER REVEAL ~ Beyond Ecstasy (Beyond #8) by Kit Rocha

BEYOND SERIES REBRANDED COVER REVEAL ~ Beyond Ecstasy (Beyond #8) by Kit Rocha

     Beyond Rebrand Blog Reveal Beyond Ecstasy by Kit Rocha     BREE’S COVER NOTES I always thought Beyond Ecstasy would be one of the easiest covers to design, but this one took me the longest. Many of our heroines protect themselves by wearing masks, but it’s usually one mask, a distinct mask. Their mask.  Jeni, on the other hand, is like a master of disguise. She dons personas for the stage…

So…I haven’t been much in the blogging mood. I know I’m not the only one that this quarantine is sitting heavily on. I haven’t been doing a ton of reading, either, for the same reason. BUT – I did reach for a book yesterday, one of the many in my stacks, hoping to find something I could enjoy for a little while. What I got instead was a book that kept…
