Reviews

[Aoife Kerr · Rating 5 out of 5]

Flare is an extremely well thought out and written book. Would defiantly recommend to anyone to wants to know about the children of superheroes. That is one of the main things about this book that I liked, as you do not really think about the children of superheroes (or at least I didn't). I am looking forward to the next book.
