Struggling actor Oswell Outterridge thinks
he’s hit the jackpot when he’s chosen to play a scene opposite his idol, Kane
Teague, in a superhero movie. However, things take an unexpected turn when the
slime he accidentally ingests gives him telekinetic powers. Then Kane asks him
out, against all expectation, and it seems that life couldn't get any
better—aside from the little matter of keeping his identity secret from his
celebrity boyfriend. Oswell goes from a nobody with little social life and few
prospects for the future to dating the man of his dreams and using his
superhuman abilities to defend innocents. Everything is perfect, and it seems
he’s finally achieved a happily ever after worthy of the silver screen. But
when a supervillain arrives, determined to defeat Oswell and win Kane's
affections, everything falls apart. In the ensuing conflict, Kane gets caught
in the crossfire, and Oswell faces his toughest fight yet. Can he remain the
hero he’s always imagined himself, or will a dark desire for vengeance change
him forever?
Review 💖💖💖💖
First off, I adore this author and her writing style. She breathes life into her characters and makes them real to the reader. Second, I don't normally read super hero books but I wanted to read the story because of the author. I'm glad I did.
Oswell Outterridge is quite the unusual character or is he. He has the same hopes and dreams as every man does. He wants a job he loves and someone to share his life, oh and a better apartment. When he's given the opportunity to act in a scene with his star crush, Kane Teague, he's thrilled. Due to an accident on set, Oswell suddenly develops super powers and gets a date with Kane.
While he struggles to come to grips with his new powers, he also becomes more involved with Kane and soon realizes he is a great person. He's nothing like Oswell assumed and it's not long until they fall in love. Life looks pretty good, then along comes the super villain to destroy Oswell's new world.
Tragic circumstances lead Oswell down a path of darkness that he might not be able to return from. In the end he must make a decision that pulls at his moral compass.
Lots of twists and turns make for an interesting read. Add in a love story and you can't go wrong.
