Super powereds year 25/27/2023 *** Originally reviewed in 2016 but I had to correct a typo. Others will become available on Kindle as they are created. *Note: This is Book 1 of 4 in the Super Powereds web-novel series. Though there has been ample research in the area, no one has ever succeeded in turning a Powered into a regular human, let alone a Super. These lesser super beings, Powereds as they are called, have always been treated as burdens and second class citizens. Because for every one person in the world with abilities they can control, there are three who lack such skill. They have a secret aside from their abilities, one that they must guard from even their classmates. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop student with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.įive of this year’s freshmen are extra special. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded.

Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan5/26/2023 in any event, Eva’s cuteness and genuine sweet temperment draw Deuce in, in a way that he could never have expected since he’s all hard and calloused, both physically and mentally. ironically, they are from oposing ‘families’ if you want to use mafia terminology (they aren’t quite mafia, more like hell’s angels). While there, Eva’s eyes fall on Deuce who is also there visiting his father ‘Reaper’ who is also in Jail. Her father ‘The Preacher’ is the leader of a gang so to speak, and is a single father trying to raise his little girl as best as he can. So the opening scene of the book we’re introduced to Eva where she’s at Riker’s Island visiting her father in jail.

This is not to book to pick up if you’re looking for some light entertainment to boost your mood. Spoiler alert, they’re all unhappy and cause each other pain, to varying degrees, in different ways. Through these two core arcs, additional family dramas unfold throughout the story as well. Meanwhile, another young couple navigates a complicated courtship, marries, and starts a family.

Or didn't.Īs a teacher with a thick Irish accent in New York City, there's a lot to be learned from his classroom stories about cultural and racial classes. His best moments didn't come because he was a genious and a natural, but because he followed his gut, took a risk, worried about it for quite some time until it finally worked out. He has story after story that recaptures the mental haze of forging his own path. His constant self-doubting is incredibly human.
