Historia
Something unholy is hunting the streets of Burlington, Vermont, stalking the campus of the local university. Chris Gordon and his contingent of demon hunters is drawn to the northern Vermont city by a brutal murder of hellish proportions, ready to banish it from Earth. But this Hellion is direct from the Abyss, incarnate and fully possessed of all the powers of high Hell royalty - female royalty at that. It’s been said that the female of the species is deadlier than the male, and this one might be the deadliest of all.

My.least favorite in the series but still pretty good
Revisado: 05-24-23
There is a great deal of violence in the series, but this is the only one that starts of with horrific blood splatter in the prologue. Okay, the female demon Lilith is a sperbitch, but for me it sets a sickening tone. I recommend just skipping to chapter one. Secondly, in other volumes where Mack Sutton appears, his obsession with boobs is balanced by his sister Jetta’s rational mind set, so it seems funny. Here Jetta rarely appears, Mack is a central character and comes across as stupid (though his luck ability proves crucial). Declan, super-witch, and Stacia, super-werewolf, are great. Chris Gordon has previously achieved god-like status, so his story is no longer so interesting, but the adventures and challenges of his students, the next generation, are still interesting. This cycle occurs in the great mythologies, but is not emphasized.

4.8 one of my favorites in the series
Revisado: 03-17-23
The origin of the sentient A.I. OMEGA is pivotal to the whole series. The origin of the relationship between Stacia and Declan. Tanya and Christian have become too overpowered for ordinary human opponents. Here the “torch” is passed to the next generation. Great story.

Not bad but not as good as Supers Rise Up or Making Supers 4.0
Revisado: 03-07-23
Interesting premise. An alien world littered with the metallic corpses of ancient inhabitants, still imbued with their essence. This volume has slow pacing in one chapter, which should have been edited down. B or B+ otherwise.

Historia
Out on his own as a surveyor, Major Corbin sleeps under the stars and calls his own shots. As a one-man operation without powers on a space colony with power-abusing supers, this is the life. Nothing lasts forever. The chance discovery of a mysterious substance changes everything when he gains superpowers and learns that it’s the key to saving the colony from an evil that nobody but he knows is coming. The kicker? Gaining powers means waking an ancient being that might be the difference between saving the universe or dying in the process.

Some flaws but a fun read. 4.5?
Revisado: 02-13-23
O-C points out MC Corbin lacks inner conflicts, rather vanilla personality. And i agree that the other supers are pretty monotonously evil. The Boys has more variety. While Corbin does get superpowers, it is gradual, and he gets hurt a lot in the process. The powers are not just a Sanderson-esque eating of metals. Why some metal has absorbed power is an interesting twist. I love the kitsune-like metal spirit. The story ends abruptly, but it’s a cliffhanger. Anyway, the true protagonist is the person with the greatest character arc, NOT Corbin. I think it will be the initially unpowered girlfriend, Ms. Lu. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with her and Tis (Ex-Mrs. Lu).

Historia
When people started to develop superpowers, the world changed forever. Me? I wasn't one of the lucky ones with powers. So I had to develop more mundane skills, skills which have taken me across the globe on dangerous missions. But there are some missions I’ve always had to refuse. I've never been able to take on a super. They're just too powerful. They're gods, whereas I'm just a man, even with all my knowledge and training. All that changes after I discover my dad's secret research project.

Engaging, some new ideas 4.5
Revisado: 02-13-23
Although Rogue of X-men steals super-powers, usually temporarily, Dean/Wildcard has such a different system, I didn’t get the similarity at first. And giving superpowers to another through sex must be unique. This is definitely a male fantasy. A non-jealous harem seems unrealistic. They are fighting corrupt Superheroes ala The Boys. And yeah, okay, a few of the male voices are crude. But Despite any criticizable points, it is fast paced, with enough plot complications and twists to keep it interesting. I have already listened to #2, and am looking forward to #3.

1 of my favorite series
Revisado: 11-27-22
Research to create genetically enhanced super-soldiers is probably happening. There is a spiritual methodology that produces psychic abilities as a side-effect, so I don’t believe psychic abilities are genetic. But it makes a good story.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Fun, intelligent but 1 gripe
Revisado: 11-16-22
I'm not a gamer. read an RPG manual once. my 1st LitRPG novel.The magic system is complex but well organized. Characters are interesting, well-developed. The protagonist's character arc and power development are gradual and convincing. I'm sold on the series. My huge gripe: From the viewpoint of novel writing, listening to "X has been added to your inventory. Y has been added to your inventory. Z has been added to your inventory." etc., etc. is such an enormous protein f*r*t in an otherwise ingenious novel, it's shocking. I'm guessing this is "authenticity" to gamers. PLEASE NOTE: TO ORDINARY NOVEL READERS THIS IS VERY BAD WRITING. Why not say "The following items have been added to your inventory, " ONCE rather than "has been added to your inventory " over and over and over and over? Argh! This brings the overall from 4.8 or 4.9 down to a 4.0.

Historia
Ingo Swann - renowned psi researcher - reveals a long-held secret series of experiences with a "deep black" agency whose apparent charter was simple: UFOs and extraterrestrials on the moon and worries about ET telepathic/mind control powers. The agency was so secret that it had no paper trail, and hence no written secrecy agreements.

well documented evidence of UFO'S and remote viewi
Revisado: 10-21-22
Dean Radin gives better evidence of ESP. Several books by former members of the remote viewing program have thorough books on that. Swann ties those facts together with the extensive evidence (now partially admitted by the government) of alien spacecraft in a fascinating theory of why this has all been so thoroughly suppressed. This would dangerously freak out many people but everyone else should listen to this.

Historia
He was the last great hero of his generation. Velma Martinez - Velveteen - had never intended to be a great hero, but she was out of choices. "Hello, Jolly Roger." "Hello, bunny-eared girl who's taken over my ship. Have you come to collect the bounty on my head?" "I've come because Dame Fortuna told me how to find you, and we need your help." Velveteen crossed her arms. "The Super Patriots are corrupt, and I think Marketing is evil, and they have my best friend, and we want her back."

Even better than vol 1
Revisado: 10-19-22
In my long ago youth I loved Spider-Man because it was much more realistic than Superman etc. The question, “What would it really be like if there were superheroes? If one WERE a superhero?” Has been chewed over from different perspectives, X-men, “Super Powereds”, “Wearing the Cape”, Feehan’s Game series, etc. Seanan McGuire’s twist on this shocked and amazed me. Her plots are insightful and twisty, but more importantly, her character development is engaging and touching. One of my many variants is a grumpy old man, but this volume made me teary-eyed an embarrassing number of times. There are many aspects my writer variant would not touch with a wand (like Santa Clause as a supporting character, for gods sakes). the human-ness of Velveteen and her main friends is astonishing to me. My learning-to-write self intends to study this.

"How dare you? I never asked for you to hunt me down!" No, Velma Martinez hadn't. But when you had once been Velveteen, child super-heroine and one of The Junior Super Patriots, West Coast Division, you were never going to be free, even if your only power was to bring toys to life. The Marketing Department would be sure of that.

a whim that paid off
Revisado: 10-16-22
Astra from the Wearing the Cape series did a cross over with Velveteen which was fun enough to make me curious, although the Velveteen concept seemed a bit silly to me. In her own universe, Velveteen is much more interesting. Seanan does good characterization and world-building despite the cartoonish concept. I am now a fan and bought volume 2.
