All
of his life, Alexander Knight has been training to be a supervillain. Born with
the unique ability of telekinesis and with a lineage of powerful supervillains,
Alex has a lot of expectation to live up to. The High Council has a grand plan
to infiltrate the Rangers of Justice’s Justice Tower and steal back a dangerous
weapon that will make all the Rangers disappear forever and give them ultimate
control over Sterling City. Alex is fine with that idea until one fateful day
it makes the big mistake of saving one of the Rangers, a good-looking girl his
age who is a shapeshifter. Now he’s having second thought about being a
supervillain. Will Alex stay true to his family heritage or will choose to side
with the heroes?
The
characters are likable and well-rounded, a surprising trait for supervillains.
The relationship between Alex and Kirbie is romantic without putting off boys.
The plot could move a little faster, but the intrigue and humor between the
characters keeps the reader’s interest. Readers who like superpowers, villains,
and saving the world will enjoy reading this book.
