This is the fourth book in the series about super villains who despite their best efforts not to end up turning into the unlikeliest of heroes. It's a book for anyone who likes comic books, but with a realistic twist and blurred lines between good and evil, focusing mainly on intentions. The tropes that this books also follows is found family and throughout the series you find the various members of the group coming together and building even stronger bonds even with the most unexpected individuals.

This was the one couple which you kind of knew was going to happen, the books were not shy about putting these two together and it was the couple which in my opinion had the cutest story of the series. That being said you weren't left in a stale environment where this was all inevitable and when you find out more about how the two of them fit together you began to realise that this one was written almost like 'fated mates' styled story with a happy ending that will leave you smiling for days.

This book was oddly written and at 80% of it I was kind of lost. I still loved it though :)

So get this: The bad guys are now heroes and the heroes are now villains. Yea it gets awesomer from here dude.

So Stacy has been in love with Hazard since the first day she saw the guy. And ever since then she has been trying to "subtly" tell him. Hazard is invincible. Well almost. Nothing can really hurt him and dying isn't really in the cards for him. He has only two loves in this world, his sister Callie and Stacy. Unfortunately Callie's death caused everything inside of him to die, and losing Stacy is not and option.

This is the first book I've read by this author and in this series. Well I was a little lost. Actually hella lost but I found my way around 32% of the book. There are SOOO many characters and it seems all of them have nicknames. I feel like this book should come with a legend or dictionary in the back introducing/reminding you of who they are and what exactly their powers are. This series has so much potential (and I rarely say this because if you look at my reviews my grammar is horrible) but the book and writing needs a little bit of restructure. The first 75% of the book could have been awesome without the last 25%. I mean it just came out of nowhere. Why? Also some of the dialogue dragged on and some of the paragraphs were repetitious.

But what really gets this book a 4th star is how awesome the characters are. Cynic, Ty, Sid, Rayn, Em, Haz, and Stacy. Man these guys made this book. The conversations they had with each other were hilarious. Poacher and his crazy rants were just moments of WTF. The jokes at other character's expense was classic. I would love to live with these guys but then again I would probably get murdered. And it would be worth it for those moments.
