Alter Ego is a superhero story that starts off pretty straightforward, but tangles into a glorious morally gray knot as it goes on! The stage set at the start is pretty simple: the main character, Mary, works for a league of vigilante superheroes set on fighting an evil terrorist organization. However, the status quo gets twisted around and called into question as the heroes uncover secrets about the past and start to question their allegiances. Throw in Mary’s celebrity secret identity and some cool gadgets, and you’ve got a rip-roaring superhero adventure!
I’m a huge sucker for moral grayness and huge twists, and this book totally delivered on both those things. I’m lucky enough to have an ebook copy of the sequel, which I shall be diving into STAT!

I want to thank Kate again for sending me a copy of Alter Ego. I absolutely loved this superhero book. It's full of action, twists I didn't see coming and characters I love!
First I want to say a big thank you to Kate Sheeran Swed for sending me a copy of Alter Ego for review! All views and opinions discussed here are my own.
I really enjoy Kate's books because they are always so unique and nothing like anything else i've read. This book was just the same; an intriguing sci-fi book with one foot in Hollywood Stardom and the other in alter-ego's and hidden identities. This book kept me on my toes throughout and I never quite knew who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. I actually messaged Kate at one point in shock when one twist was revealed! This is what I loved about this book; it constantly kept you guessing and even though something was revealed, it doesn't mean that there wren't going to be more twists along the way.
I really enjoyed Mary; she was a fascinating character and I loved her wit - she was such a badass and I was rooting for her throughout. I really enjoyed the range of characters throughout this book; I liked that it was quite ambiguous as to who was in the right and that at times, you could clearly see the point of view of each side and understand why they thought they were in the right.
If there's one thing I would have liked more of, it was a bit more of an explanation about the powers and how they worked? I couldn't quite get my head around that at times or keep track.
Highly recommend reading Alter Ego if you want a fun and captivating Sci-Fi read.

This book was so much fun! I read 85% of the book in a single sitting.
Chapter 1 starts off this story with an action-packed bang, and it doesn't let up until the final page. Full of more twists and crazy reveals than I had ever expected, Alter Ego is an exciting, fun, breakneck adventure. I love this cast of characters and it has a perfect ending that will leave you torn and begging for more!
What a debut! If you love superpowers, heroes without powers, or an epic fight between good and evil, this book is for you. Go read it!

This is a great book the first vigilante book I've read and found thoroughly entertaining and want more of this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this novel from Voracious Reads.
What if Batman was female? I really enjoyed this take on the superhero story. Mary, a superhero without powers, drives the tale. While I am not a huge Batman fan, I really liked Mary. To me, she was Batman meets James Bond. A very cool concept, with a fast-paced story that was well written.
