Cape High #6
Aces Wild
"Yes, Dad, I slammed his fist in a locker for no reason," I drawl. "For crying out loud, I'm not stupid! I haven't done anything that might inconvenience you and Mom while you're ripping up the family. God forbid I actually step out of line--"
"Ace, I swear--" Dad starts out, taking a step forward. Banshee's hand lands lightly on his shoulder. It looks like a gentle touch, but I see Dad strain against it for a second and realize he's not moving. "Ace, tell me the truth. Your mother's going to show up sooner or later, I'm sure, and she's going to blame this on me, regardless," he grits out.
"He broke his own hand," I mutter, crossing my arms over my chest, "punching me in the face."
Dad stares at me blankly before turning on Matt. "You PUNCHED my son in the face?" he demands.
"It--it's starting to change color," Matt almost whimpers, looking at the hand in question. "How can I play football with a broken hand?"

Ace descends from the Loaded Deck line, a line of powerful illusionists. Justin and Morgan met him in the future in the previous book but they cannot remember what happened. Morgan only knows she must save Ace, possibly changing the future for the better. But supervillain Mimic has come back from the future too and has other uses for Ace's latent super abilities.
Loved the humorous banter between Jack, Max, Justin and Ace. I'm adoring the supervillains!

As the title states, this is book six in the Cape High Series. Even though I normally detest Novella–length novels, these stories are just the right length to make it work. It doesn’t leave me with that cheap, “just caught another episode of a soap opera” feeling.
Each story deals with the life of a new super and his take on the current theme. Starting with book five, the current theme is dealing with the evil super villain Mimic. He has swiped a time traveling device and is wreaking havoc upon our heroes across time itself. The discovery and helping of Ace, the point–of–view character the story is about, is a wonderful adventure full of plot twists and satisfying plot endings.
This story really lets you get in Ace’s head and see what a real mess his broken home life has made him. I’m not going to ruin the story for anyone reading this review, but the ending is totally unexpected and more fabulous than you could imagine. A genuine “feel good” story and very satisfying.

This book series is like candy... Addictive, doesn't last very long, but very good.
I've been slowly working my way through buying these with Amazon credits (because who's going to pay $3 for 194 pages??? Not me) so it's been a while since I started this series, which makes the mc's voice sound different (I think a complaint with the main character changing every book is the characters start to sound the same, and you kinda forget who was who) and it made it 10x more enjoyable.
This one focuses in on a character we first meet as an adult, and I thought it was brilliantly written. Excited to see the plot continue, who knows when I'll read the next one tho.

I really do not know why I keep reading this crapulous series - probably 'cause I bought all the books in one lot. The author obviously has something against women, they are merely to be pursued and most annoying when 'caught' they always lose their names and become 'the girlfriend'. The author is also offensive in passing to various other minorities.
On top of all this, time travel is a lazy plot device - I hate it.
Avoid this series like the plague

Aces High is a very good book for all ages. The pace of the events that happens just keep wanting you to turn the next page.

Aces Wild follows on from Morgan and Justin's forgotten adventure in the future. Ace is an angry, troubled kid that is ready to lash out, but on balance he just wanted his Dad to notice and to find somewhere where he might fit in. It's a nice story that re-writes the future Morgan and Justin saw, and hopefully leads to a better one.

Your father is a superhero. You're a mormal. ... or at least that's what your father thinks. But hey, if he can't even notice your glowing eyes, maybe he doesn't deserve to know. Small problem here are your bullies, that other superheros did notice and the small fact that you might lose control...
