From Goodreads: "Led by the sinister Baron, the Vindico are a group of super villains who have been fighting against the League of Heroes for as long as they can remember. The Vindico kidnap a group of teenagers and train them to be the next generation. Mysteriously arriving at the Baron’s mansion together, James, Lana, Hayden, Emily and Sam are forced to train with their mentors and given powers beyond their wildest dreams.
While struggling to uncover the motives of this evil group, the teens learn to trust each other and even form friendships. They plan to rebel against their mentors as soon as they are deemed ready to fight against the League of Heroes, but then they learn things may not be as cut-and-dry as they seem: both in their new roles and in their outside lives."
This looks really cool!! adding it:D

This is the part of the blurb that caught my attention, "...but then they learn things may not be as cut-and-dry as they seem..."
ReplyDeleteI love it when the villains aren't nearly as villanous as they first seemed. Or maybe they are just as villanous as you thought, but that they are actually trying to achieve something good.
There's an adult paranormal series (the Allie Beckstrom series by Devon Monk) where the bad guy is spurred by ambition to do some very awful things, and he doesn't care who he hurts in the process. But after several books, you discover that his ambition just might have the world's best interests at heart. You don't know if you should root for him.
If I could write a bad guy like that, I'd be one very happy writer.
Sounds interesting and I do love the cover too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the blog looks fantastic!
