The Shadow Master #6
Villains Academy
Jackson Blackwell is going back well… to school! (Oh, gods above and below that was terrible. Apologies dear reader, the actual book is much better. I promise.)
They tried to kill him. They tried to destroy his marriage. They tried to take his friends, his company, and his title, but did they succeed?! Well, yes… yes they did, on all counts. But that doesn’t matter! For Jackson Blackwell, the one and only Shadow Master, took it all back. However, Sophia and her cabal of conspirators have gone too far this time. To defeat his enemies and save his daughter, Jackson and his loyal crew of misfits must venture into the dark, soulless depths of genre fiction’s red-headed Young Adult Fantasy.
Hidden deep within the Titan of Possibility exists Sablestone Academy for Villains, the multiverse’s premier educational institution in the nefarious arts. And it is here that the stakes have never been higher. The wager is whoever has the best grades at the end of the school year may leave. The loser remains, trapped within Possibility for all time.
Villains Academy is the sixth installment in the award-winning Shadow Master series and where Jackson will have to put it all on the line. To save his daughter and survive the education system, Jackson must pit the culmination of his villainous experiences against wicked teens, secret plots, and a teaching staff packed with the most infamous (public domain) villains in all of literature! Does Jackson have what it takes to be the head of the class, or will he struggle to make the grade? (Yeah… these puns are terrible. But I swear the book is good!)

Excellency once again!
6 books in and Mr. Gibson has kept the streak alive. The Shadow Master series is my current favorite series going, and I can't wait for the conclusion! If you enjoy raunchy comedy and dabbling in different genres, then this series is for you. I look forward to the audiobook version as well

Continuing straight after the last book, Jackson and his minions rush to rescue his daughter from Sophia's diabolical plan. Stranded in the realm of possibilities, they find themselves transformed into children and back at school, villain school. Jackson must use all his villianary skills to outwit every one and come out on top.

Despite what Jackson will say, Gibson did a great job with this book, despite the large empty gaps at the ends of chapters.
