I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC.
This novel was a lot like Spider-Man, you know, minus the spider and all. Teenage boy living with older relatives because his parents have passed and he gains super powers. Of course there’s a girl and a rival for said girl. But that’s where the story lines diverge.
I like that the author covers topics appropriate for the target age group – overcoming bullying, acceptance of gay relationships, etc. The main character is also given a choice to choose right from wrong. He’s had a hard life and out of nowhere he gets these powers that could allow him to get whatever he wants but he chooses to be the good guy instead.
I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading the next one.
5 stars.
