Spitfire
You know it's desperate when you're seriously considering life as a supervillain.
Evren Macintosh is tired, stressed, and willing to do almost anything for a bit of a leg-up on her doctoral thesis. So when her supervisors offer her a way to gain some extra credit, she grabs it with little thought for the consequences.
Sadly, being a supervillain isn't at all close to community service. However, now that she's involved, Evren doesn't have much choice other than to keep working with her supervisors - a supervillain trio known as The Consulate. She must find a way to finish her doctorate without further compromising her integrity or getting herself arrested - something made especially difficult when The Consulate have been getting more and more violent.
And then there's Mikhail, and Lin, and the hero Smoke, all drawing her attention in ways she hadn't accounted for. As if she didn't have enough on her plate...
Evren has very few options open to her - should she just let go of her morals and fully embrace villainy? With love, learning, and life on the line, Evren has some difficult choices to make.

I have a confession. Being 38 (almost 39) the floating sexuality of the modern world sometimes confuses me. On the other hand, I am still an inner child who loves anything to do with superheroes. So when a friend recommended this book to me I thought, why not take a chance?
I am so happy that I did.
For the uninitiated, the author gently leads you into a world where gender is fluid and so is love. But this concept is almost mundane against the background of a world where almost half the population have superpowers. Some are frightening, some fun and some beautiful. Certain powers seem to lead towards becoming a hero and others a villain. But does the power make the choice or the person who wields it? This is the question this book asks the reader through snippets of a student's thesis and their choice to do something bad in exchange for something good. Its artfully done and I am already looking forward to the next book.

Great read
I absolutely loved this book, it was a great read. I thought the characters had a lot of depth and Evran is by far my favourite. The different relationship dynamics and hints of philosophy about morality just added to the story, but it wasn't swamped in the development of the romance. Loved it and eagerly looking forward to the next book if there is one. Would love a continuation and development of Evrans story.
