Summary: Damien Locke is going to get a sweet present for his 16th birthday: he is going to get the V on his thumb that proves that he is the supervillian that he knows he is destined to be. He has been raised by his supervillian mother and plans on going to the infamous Vilmore, the supervillian school, in the fall. However when he gets an X, he realizes that he isn't a supervillian-he is worse. He is half supervillian and half superhero, apparently his dad is the Crimson Flash, a famous do-gooder. Eventually, the world of villany or heroism will claim him, but for now his father tries to get him to put his evil thoughts aside and learn something about the world of heroes. Along the way, Damien stumbles across some tricky romantic relationships and situations that make it obvious which world he will lean toward eventually, even if it isn't obvious for him. There is mature content in this book.
I thought this book was predictable, tedious, and annoying. But that doesn't mean you won't like it! I loved the premise of the book: supervillians and superheroes with a character who is a bit of both. If you are curious, you should check it out!
