Almost Infamous: A Supervillain Novel by Matt Carter
5.0
This was such a fun read!
Aidan Salt has powers. The problem is, so do a lot of other people. He's idolized some of the biggest superheroes his entire life and wants to be just like them. With the riches and fame, who wouldn't? The only problem is, becoming a major super hero isn't easy when everyone else is trying to do the same. Then one day it hits him, he doesn't have to be a superhero, he can be a supervillain. Supervillains have been gone since the War on Villainy and Aidan believes it's time for a true supervillain to return.
So he gets a costume (all black leather and a motorcycle helmet) and a name (Apex Strike) and sets about his first mission to rob a small liquor store. Things go wrong from the beginning and it becomes very clear that being super, villain or hero, is not what it seems.
