Renegades

In a world of superheroes and villains, who is to decide which side is more justified in their actions? Nova and her parents were supposed to be under the protection of the heroes. But when a rival gang came to their apartment and killed all her family, Nova swore revenge. With the help of her uncle Ace, Nova honed her powers and became the villain Nightmare. With one touch, she can put her victims to sleep. She teams up with the villains in an effort to take down the superheroes. Adrian, AKA Sketch, is the adopted son of the two most famous superheroes. He is also looking for a way to make his mark. He has created his own persona- The Sentinel- but no one knows that he is the Sentinel. And they aren't too thrilled with this creation when some of the heroes get hurt by him in a battle against Nightmare. At the annual search for new members of the superhero team, Nova is sent in by her team to infiltrate the heroes and learn about their organization while reporting back to the villains. But when Nova is chosen by Adrian's team, she finds herself unsure of which side is truly in the right. She spends more and more time with Adrian and is confused when members of her own team are making moves she doesn't understand. And Adrian is finding himself falling for Nova even while he searches for Nightmare. This is a great read with interesting characters and story line. It is hard to know who to root for when both sides have both positives and negatives, much like life. This new series by Marissa Meyer is a winner, much like the Lunar Chronicles are. You won't be disappointed, especially with the surprise ending. No spoilers here. Happy reading my friends!
