Villains Pride by M.K. Gibson

4.0

Villains Pride is book 2 in The Shadow Master series. I had a great time with book 1 so I knew I had to grab this when I could. I can never expect what's coming in these books, the twists and turns are highly entertaining. If you're a fan of fantasy books with some serious humor mixed in grab this series.



Jackson Blackwell, The Shadow Master returns and is facing the upcoming changes of being a father. In an emotional argument, Jackson's pregnant girlfriend wants him out and he winds up in the superhero/super villain world. True to self, Jackson is a villain and takes down superheros while trying to empower the super villains with his knowledge. The god of the realm doesn't like how things turn out and resets the world a few times and it was interesting to see how Jackson responded. I loved that Jackson used his inside knowledge on the heros/villains to his advantage, he's such a crafty lead character and even I couldn't guess what would happen.


Cunning, hilarious and full of twists and turns, Villains Pride is a must read. One of my main draws to this series is the humor mixed into the book. Between that and Jackson always being 5 steps ahead and keeping the readers on their toes it just makes for a great read. I hope there are more books to come in this series since I'm enjoying the characters and can't wait to see what trouble Jackson will get into next.


The Narrator:
Jeffrey Kafer did a great job again. He portrays the characters well and the emotions from them really shines through. All in all, great job and I need to check out more of his work.
