Being Human is a Revolution

The Devil You Know by Kit Rocha

July 9, 2021 by Emmalita 2 Comments

Kit Rocha’s pragmatic, chaotic optimists have gotten me through the last few years. I’m going to need a bunch of you to buy Deal With the Devil and The Devil You Know, or request that your library buy them, so that I get more of these post-apocalyptic do-gooding murder ladies and sourdough making supersoldier daddies to help me hold onto hope amid the rising tide of authoritarianism, the crumbling wall between church and state, and the increased concentration of wealth into a few hands. I […]

Mercenary librarians with hearts of gold

Deal with the Devil by Kit Rocha

January 16, 2021 by teresaelectro 7 Comments

When I read the premise for Kit Rocha’s Deal with the Devil, I immediately knew I would love it. 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 […]

Clones! Super Soldiers! Post Apocalyptic Road Trip!

Deal With the Devil by Kit Rocha

June 27, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I have been anticipating this book for months and was delighted to get an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Deal With the Devil was everything I wanted it to be. I’ve already read it FOUR times. Today a drive from Atlanta to Chattanooga would take about two hours, maybe more with traffic and where you start in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. In Kit Rocha’s Deal with the Devil, it’s about 5 days with decomposing roadways, collapsed bridges, medical emergencies, armed […]

Revisiting the End of the World

Beyond Surrender by Kit Rocha

April 3, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I am a constant ball of rage. I’m not afraid for my life in the pandemic, I’m afraid for everybody’s life. I am enraged by the constant flow of lies, gaslighting, misinformation and toxicity coming out of the current administration. I am terrified for the future of the country I live in and the world as a whole. Every time I read about what the current administration and it’s supporters are doing I see spots and start to feel the top of my head lift […]

The Bisexual Bootlegging Love Army

Beyond Series Bundle Volume 2 (Books 4 - 6) by Kit Rocha

Beyond Series Bundle Volume 3 (Books 7 - 9) by Kit Rocha

Beyond Series Novella Bundle by Kit Rocha

December 9, 2019 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I am struggling with this review, because a lot of what I said in my review for the Beyond Series Bundle Volume 1 is true for the three bundles I am attempting to review here. The overarching themes of the series are freedom to determine your own life, freedom to love who you love, bodily autonomy – including consent and reproductive freedom, and over coming the many forms of toxic masculinity. All of this was present in the first bundle of books, and all of […]

The Accidental Peacekeepers of the Post-apocalyptic World

Beyond Series Bundle 1 by Kit Rocha

April 15, 2019 by Emmalita 4 Comments

  I am continuing my quest to read the books written by the amazing authors I follow on twitter. This review I get a two for one, Kit Rocha is a writing duo – Bree Bridges (@mostlybree) and Donna Herran (@totallydonna).  They are smart and delightful on Twitter and you should follow them. As Kit Rocha, they have been writing dystopian erotic romances set within the same future world for several years. Their third series is coming out this fall, published by Tor. I got […]
