The Rules of Supervillainy by C.T. Phipps

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


really 4.5 stars

Gary lives in a world where Superheroes and Supervillains are commonplace. He thinks nothing of it when his hometown Superhero is killed. That is until he received a package on his doorstep- the mystical cloak the Superhero had.

Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, he assumes the powers of the cloak. Only he chooses not to join the ranks of Heroes and follows his long time dream to be a famous Supervillain - Merciless the Villain who shows no mercy.

Only he has a horrible streak of "morality" that makes it hard to be truly evil. Add to that the the Cloak is sentient and highly opinionated. But what's a guy to do but what he can to make a name of himself, not overly piss off his wife and try not to get killed in the proceess.

Okay - this book was HYSTERICAL! I had to fight to not actually laugh out loud as I read this book on my lunch and get looks from my coworkers.

This is the first book in a series and you better believe that I will be looking into more.
