5.0

This is the fifth 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 story out of the series I found myself dreading the most, mainly because throughout the reminder of the series the main male character that's mentioned doesn't seem to make too much of a presence other then to be difficult. However, once you start reading chapters from their POV and start understanding what they have done and how their lives are shaped by the choices of those around them you start to realise that you were wrong about them and make you want to keep the pages turning.
