Why?
This book started off wonderfully. I love the idea of superheroes on a reality show. It's just something that I love and the start of this book was a ton of fun. Then I get ‘Failstate' returning to being a ‘normal' human. This seems to be a case of ‘poor boy. His mother is either a ‘sniper or snubber' to him and LOVES his big brother.' Case in point. “So, any sign of Benjamin?” being her first words to Failstate and “How'd the study session go, sweetie?” to Ben.
I have several problems with this, but let's just say, it's not what I want to read.
So the book was already loosing me before I started chapter three. Then I was treated to Failstate doing an internet search of the hot girl in the competition, Lux, and deal with the following:
I opened up the first gallery and clicked past the group photos. There she was, standing by herself, her smile radiant. I leaned forward to drink in every detail...Only to lean back, my discomfort growing, but not from the necklace. I was cyber stalking someone, and it didn't feel right. Why couldn't I just go to Hogtown tomorrow night and meet her, get to know her that way?The picture was answer enough. Luxurious chestnut hair, which seemed impossibly long, cascaded down past her shoulders. I considered scrolling the picture down to see more of her form, but stopped myself. I knew how tight her costume was.
So, it's totally okay you're cyberstalking someone because she's hot? Jackass.
