"Armed guards were stationed near almost every entry and exit, and every one of them reacted as if I was a threat until they saw Beth and Fisher beside me. Exploring on my own would be out of the question." -A Superhero's Duty by Patricia Gilliam A Superhero's Duty is a urban fantasy and sci-fi book that centers on villain-for-hire, Icarus. One of my most fun reads for this week! Synopsis Myth by Name. Villain by Nature. Hero by Choice. A fight between a second-generation superhero named Red Bolt and a villain-for-hire named Icarus goes terribly wrong, resulting in the drowning deaths of three innocent civilians and orphaning a six-year-old boy. Racked with guilt, Red Bolt visits Cameron Wilson at the hospital every night and won't leave the boy's side until he falls asleep. Befriended by a night-shift nurse, the man in costume begins to disclose what really happened after the fight—and why he feels the deaths of Cameron's parents and sister fall on his actions. A superhero didn't survive that night, and Cameron and the rest of the city aren't out of danger.-Goodreads The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice. These the rules:

Definitely loved the action in it! I usually find action a little hard to follow in some books, but I'm glad it wasn't an issue in this one.
