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.

Surprisingly good!

I had my doubts about the premise but the story is quite well done. You do have to suspend your disbelief once an important motivation is revealed but by that time you are sucked into the characters and care about them. Will be getting the next one!

Librarians Rock

Good story and character development. LOVE Librarians as kick ass heros!! Sex scenes too long, maybe save some material for another encounter. Reader's lack of pauses at end of sections made it hard to follow shifts in character and location.

great start to a new series

This is my first listen (or read) by Kit Rocha. They had me at mercenary librarians. The plot kept my attention with a couple of interesting twists. The driving force is really the characters and their enhanced abilities. They all have different skills and, more importantly, different back stories that come into play.

While this book focused on two characters, I appreciated some chapters from the perspective of other characters. it helped build personalities in my mind. The narration was good, but I felt like there was less differentiation between the male characters than the female characters.

Future dystopia sci-fi with a romance twist

This is a decent story with plenty of action, but the explicit sex was a bit much. Maybe because I was not expecting it out of this story, but aside from the scenes themselves, it was a good story.

Interesting premise, narration flawed

Although I love audiobooks, this is one book I wish I'd read rather than heard. The narrator made an attempt to give the characters individual voices, but if speaking for more than a sentence, the narrator's voice slid to a neutral register that made it impossible to tell if the first character was still the one speaking. Additionally, there was some odd pacing as well as word mispronunciation,.
As for the story, I'm a little disappointed. I realize I had an entire series to get to know the characters of the "Beyond" series (love the product placement with the bottle of booze!), so I'll be hanging in for the next book. I'm also hoping the characters will be having more sexy times .
