I think I discovered Jonathan Yanez from YASH – I found myself subscribed to his newsletter, and he was giving away a few copies of the audiobook for the second book in this series. I happened to win a copy, so I figured I should start at the beginning. I recently emailed my subscribers about this book – I instantly fell in love with the characters, the plot and his no-nonsense writing style. It’s a fun YA Paranormal read and best of all, it appears to be permafree. 🙂 Here’s my review below, be sure to check it out!

There are so many things I loved about this book…where to start? Probably super powers. I’m a huge fan – the more the merrier – and Mr. Yanez does not disappoint.

The main character Alan is realistic and likeable. There is noticeable character growth throughout the novel, always a nice touch. This particular novel is heavy on action and light on romance, though there are hints and I’m hoping the romance is developed more in the later installments.

I have to admit, as a fan of the movie, “The Prophecy” I was giggling like a little girl when I read the last chapter. For me it was the perfect ending to the book; I love my sadistically evil villains. 🙂

The pacing is fast and Mr. Yanez manages to keep it light and fun, even with the heavier topics he’s handling – depression, isolation, and the obliteration of the human race. I also love the underlying theme of realizing your potential.

The only thing that had me scratching my head was that a nickname wasn’t chosen – it was introduced and I thought by the end of the novel Alan would have one. Guessing it’s saved for a later novel, and I can live with that as I will most definitely be devouring the rest of the series. Do not hesitate to get this book and start a fun superhero series!
