Damien gets shipped off to stay with them in their suburban hellhole, and he has only six weeks to prove he's not a hero in any way, or else he's stuck living with them for the rest of his life, or until he turns eighteen, whichever comes first. His father's too moral for his own good, so when he finds out Damien exists, he actually wants him to come live with him and his goody-goody superhero family. But when he discovers the shameful secret she's been hiding all these years, that the one-night stand that spawned him was actually with a superhero, everything gets messed up. Sixteen-year-old Damien Locke has a plan: major in messing with people at the local supervillain university and become a professional evil genius, just like his supervillain mom.

So we decided to sort the sharp from the shambling and come up with a list of the greatest zombie flicks ever made. Of course, they’ve also produced a mass grave of schlock. Whatever the reason for its enduring popularity, zombies have exerted a powerful pull on movies for decades now. The concept is malleable enough to serve as allegories for real-world issues from racism to consumerism, and also naturally gory enough that if you simply want to make (or watch) a disgusting splatterfest, well, there’s no better genre. (Okay, it’s technically about a ‘fungal apocalypse’ that turns people into murderous mushrooms, but c’mon: it’s a zombie show at heart.) Ever since 1968’s Night of the Living Dead established the modern template for the zombie movie, the undead have continued to walk among us, with HBO’s The Last of Us being only the most recent example. Perhaps that bit of shared lineage – the knowledge that, no matter how rotted, feral and brain-hungry they become, they’re still humans at heart – explains why zombie mythology persists in popular culture. In fact, they literally are us, just, y’know, a bit slower, in both senses of the term. I loved the first book so much that I recently wanted to start the series over again. I have long been a fan of Samantha Shannon's Bone Season series (and not because she has a fabulous last name :-D ).

I like morally gray characters, anti-heroes, but I found the MMC’s actions to be a bit too questionable for comfort. But that’s probably because the book wasn’t suited to my particular tastes. Am I dying to learn what will happen next? Honestly, no. Otherwise, I have no guesses who it could have been.❌ It’d be a way to further connect the different parts of the story. Would make sense for him to be a top dog in The Society. And now, since it’s been established that Max was behind Adeline’s kidnapping, I’m guessing he’s also the one who set up Zade, since he and Jay seemed to be familiar with whomever set the trap for them. Max sending his goons after her was a nice surprise. Spoiler ❌ I fully expected The Society to kidnap Adeline and for Zade to see her in the dungeon when he went to perform the initiation ritual, or something to that effect. Ill admit I was questioning the MMC morals at the beginning but OMG, Zade is my new book boyfriend for so many reasons. The way she handled not only the spicy scenes but also the trauma and recovery scenes is beautiful. The ending wasn’t quite what I had predicted either. Carlton has a writing style thats exceptional as far as Im concerned. And about the cliffhanger, it wasn’t as aggravating as I expected it to be. |
