This was definitely a fun read for me! I love superheroes and this was a fun twist on them for sure!
It was one of those stories that was fast paced so I didn’t want to put my book down I love books like that.
I do think there were one or two plot holes but nothing that kept from enjoying the overall story.
If you love superheroes I think this is def a book to check out! Great for a fun and quick read maybe while on vacation!

It was an enjoyable read and great pick if you're interested in the concept
The plot is interesting, filled with action and fast paced. All the chapters are full of action and twists that keep you guessing. This book was like reading a DC/Marvel book and it reminded me superhero movies/ tv shows and I really liked that.. The characters were great and the superheroes had cool powers.I do think there were a few plot holes though. We didn't learn how the superheroes are created or how they got their powers. Also they were superheroes and most of the time they did nothing. I really liked the fact that there wasn't a main love interest and the "romance' wasn't a huge part of the story.. The characters were diverse and smart and they all worked together to fix certain situations.
I would recommend it if you love superhero stories and want an easy and fun read for the summer.
*thanks to the publisher for sending this to me for review*

I want to say first that I received a copy of this book through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program, and I'm grateful to the publishers for the opportunity to read this book.
This was a lot of fun, way more fun than I was expecting. It wasn't as centered around the aspects of it I thought it might be at first, but it's definitely a fun time with a lot of moving parts that weren't super dizzying and all made sense. Tightly told, really well paced, and the mysteries aren't too easily figured out nor do they seem to come out of left field.
My biggest issue with the book is a spoiler so:
Overall though, this was a pretty fun read, and I'd recommend if it you want more interactions between superheroes and competent, talented folks without powers. The ending is a nice balance of "could be a sequel, could be a standalone" and I'd be happy either way, really!

the whole thing with Max being in love with Shay was a NIGHTMARE. Like for the most part it was handled okay narratively, with lots of people being like "she's a child, you CAN'T" and really he responded okay except it just like didn't stop? And the part where he was like "I won't flirt with you if you don't flirt with me" made me ALL KINDS OF UNCOMFORTABLE because it's not her job to maintain boundaries??? And the way it was resolved within the story was like... really struck me as a bad note to end on.Overall though, this was a pretty fun read, and I'd recommend if it you want more interactions between superheroes and competent, talented folks without powers.
