About this ebook
Five ordinary teens are given the chance of a lifetime. An offer to have any super-power imaginable with only one condition . . . they must pledge allegiance to a league of notorious supervillains.
“A healthy dose of clever one-liners, snappy dialogue, and plenty of chases and explosions.”—School Library Journal
Kidnapped from their everyday lives, five teens are given the chance to change their fate forever. Imagine being promised the super strength to take down the school bully, the power to read your best friend’s mind, or the ability to make dishes wash themselves. But to earn these gifts, the teens must go against everything they’ve been taught their whole lives and join a league of the world’s most notorious villains: the Vindico.
Held captive in a remote mansion while being forced to train with evil mentors, the teens plot their escape. But when it becomes clear that returning to their normal lives is no longer an option, their only choice is to fight.

The beginning of the book was good. Everything was good except how they all turned on the people who showed them they had super powers. They beat them up, ask for help and get them caught by the league and yet they join the league. I find it dumb so I am with the vindico all the way.(btw, if u read all this, u are awesome.)

I read this book when it was first released last year and found it very difficult to put down. Definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in a refreshing take on the super hero genre
