There aren’t many dystopian/post-apocalyptic novels that have the right amount of romance to satisfy me. But this amazing series by Kit Rocha provides me with everything I’m looking for. The balance between action, romance and suspense is perfect. And especially the characters play a big part in making me love this series.
Maya and Gray are the main characters in The Devil You Know. Maya is a data courier, which means she remembers everything she ever seen or heard. Which has it good and bad sides. One particular bad guy would love to pick her brains and discover all the secrets she holds. Gray is a one of the best snipers, however he’s having pretty extreme health problems. I really enjoyed seeing Maya and Gray grow closer together. Their relationship was very special and I loved the scenes that was just the two of them.
If you’ve read the previous book you know that Maya’s and Gray’s group are now working together. In this book they discover something and they can’t turn a blind eye and start a rescue mission. However, it’s very secret so they need to meet with all their contacts to get information. We meet old and new characters in this book and I loved the intricate world-building and great plot that Kit Rocha have come up with again. I have fallen even more in love with the characters in this book and can’t wait to see what will happen next. I’m pretty vague in this review because I don’t want to spoil anything.
