Game On
Supervillain Legacy Project Book 1
The Department of Super Abled has announced the first-ever teen competition: a multi-stage
challenge to find the next great superhero talent … and Ruby Powell wants in.
The daughter of superheroes, fifteen-year-old Ruby has spent her whole life waiting to be old
enough to start saving the day. When the Sable Games are announced, she sees her chance.
Step 1, convince her superstar mother to lead her team. Step 2, prove herself the most valuable
member of her team and win the hearts of the viewing public. Step 3, win the game and set
herself up as DOSA’s next big thing.
The son of a supervillain, Oliver Shelby has a lot to prove. When his application is rejected due
to his history of heart issues, it looks like he’ll be sidelined. The Powells’ new underdog team
might be his last chance. All he has to do is fudge the paperwork about his extensive medical
history and hide the huge surgical scar on his chest. No big deal, right?
With some teens willing to play dirty for the top spot, Oliver and Ruby’s team struggles to stay in
the running. If Oliver’s secret gets out, will they even be allowed to compete?

My Review

Author H.L. Burke has done it again. That’s right, even more superhero books. Game on is the first book in a new series featuring the next generation of heros, AKA the children of the characters from her previous series.

Usually, I like to tell people were to start reading but there are too many books in this universe and Game On has a shiny #1 on the cover so I guess well go with that. Besides, nearly every previous character makes a cameo so I can’t even go by who is in the book. Still there is an inate joy in seeing character grow and change over time.

On that note, I really loved getting to know the new cast of characters, especially Oliver. He was introduced in Burke’s most recent release Wishing on a Supervillain and it was interesting getting to see him all grown up.

Game On is a different kind of superhero book though. Instead of a villain to fight or a world to save, This is a sports book. Camp Sable’s Team needs to win the game and defeat the rival team to win the first ever Sable competition. I don’t normally read sports stories, but as always, everything is better with superpowers.

Cover Reveal: the first one was an illusion.

So there is this amazing, whimsical book titled, Illusionary. It already has a beautiful cover. When it came out I hosted an Interview with author Desiree Williams, which you can read here.

So to refresh, here’s the back copy with the old cover:

IllusionaryDorothy got sucked into a tornado.

Alice fell down a hole.

Wendy flew to Neverland.

Kamryn? She tripped down the stairs.

Now, Kamryn Kensington finds herself in a strange new world. Within minutes of her arrival, she dodges an archer’s arrow and avoids getting sliced up by a cosplay reject holding a dagger to her throat. And that’s before the storyteller’s breath brings stories to life.

Home is the mission—to return to her family and pursue her life’s dream of art and travel. Yet the longer she’s in the Land of Ur, the harder it is not to feel for the people she meets. Even her artistic side can’t help but breathe in the beautiful wonder and magic of this new world. So when the Oracle hands her a different quest, she takes it on the condition he sends her home afterward.

No one thought to warn her of a jealous queen and her dragon minions. Or that, by helping her, the cute storyteller would go crazy. Or that her heart would rip in two when she left. Those would’ve been great facts to know ahead of time.

Considering that nothing in Ur is what it seems, the mission proves to be more than she ever imagined. But more than her own future will be in jeopardy if Kamryn doesn’t succeed.

***

The first cover is so cute with it’s pink and purple tones and the innocent girl who perfectly represents Kam’s childlike wonder. How is any new cover going to top that?

Kade knows what it is to suffer. He knows what it’s like to lose everything and everyone around him.
