Hero or Villain.
A choice that every Icon, a person born with powers, eventually has to make if they don't want to live a life of mediocrity. For most Icons the decision is easy. Just do what your parents did. Then, there is Hunter Monroe. A powerful young Icon born from the unimaginable union of a hero and villain.
Seventeen years later Hunter is seen as a half-breed abomination by some, and as a certified powerhouse by others. With his time at Purgatory Academy, the premier institute for Icons, coming to an end, Hunter must embark on a two year internship with a supergroup.
After being selected to intern with The Imperial Lords, the world's leading supergroup, Hunter's life begins to slowly unravel.
Between a shaky love life, facing an old rival, and seeing his mentors for who they truly are, Hunter is in for the longest two years of his life. Things get more complex when an Icon serial killer emerges with unthinkable power, and begins to shed light on Hunter's life that will leave him wondering if he should use his powers to save the world, or conquer it.
Industry Reviews
An exciting new superhero series!
I am really a fan of the superhero genre and I was very happy to discover that the author, Riley Tune, managed to create a new universe, and fill it with a compelling storyline, unique evolving characters, and some serious twists I didn't see coming.
I ate this one up in only a couple days and I'm excited for the next story in the series.
I really liked how the reality the story takes place in was revealed naturally in the storytelling and not all forced at the beginning, it was explained as needed and I was never left confused with too little information, or bogged down with too much at once.

Loved it!!
I could have devoured this book in one day but it was too special. I wanted to take my time with it and had to force myself to walk away. I finished it today but now I can't wait for the next listen.
I loved this book from the beginning. The main superhero was cheeky but loveable. He was close to his adopted family and had the usual teenage "what will I do when I grow up" angst. This played out against a backdrop of good and evil, with no clear black and white answers to that one. I loved it.
