Bells Broussard thought he had it made when his superpowers manifested early. Being a shapeshifter is awesome. He can change his hair whenever he wants, and if putting on a binder for the day is too much, he’s got it covered. But that was before he became the country’s most-wanted villain.

After discovering a massive cover-up by the Heroes’ League of Heroes, Bells and his friends Jess, Emma, and Abby set off on a secret mission to find the Resistance. Meanwhile, power-hungry former hero Captain Orion is on the loose with a dangerous serum that renders meta-humans powerless, and a new militarized robotic threat emerges. Everyone is in danger. Between college applications and crushing on his best friend, will Bells have time to take down a corrupt government?

Sometimes, to do a hero’s job, you need to be a villain.

Review of 'Not Your Villain' on 'Goodreads'

Again with the excellent story, the horrible third person present tense, the excellent characterization, the weird gaps in plot and danger-levels-are-maybe-random, and the excellent inclusiveness. I seriously wanted to like this a lot more than I did, and adored elements of it, but other elements kept blowing me entirely out of the book into, "Wait. What?"

shrugs

Still bloody well worth reading.
