This story really made me go back in time: to my teen years and to my teen reads. I think it would be nice to see Peter and Eric together more as well. Peter needs to pull his head out of his ass and think about how Eric feels in certain situations (speaking for all 4 books btw).ītw Hayden, if you read this can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give Eric powers in the 5th book! I'm begging you for my sanity! haha (besides, all the secrecy and 'classified' meetings going on with the 'League' I suppose you could call it means that, well, i thought so at least, the group dynamics aren't really explored. the blue food for example being a testament to the relationships between brother and sister - anything to freak 'em out ) haha I loved Eric and Peter's relationship. Not to self: get an ebook reader* so I resumed reading on my computer instead.Įric was such a funny character. After a few days of procrastinating (and very little detective work), I realised that my headache was caused by my reading the ebook on my crappy little ipod screen. I got through about 50 pages or so before I developed a massive, skull splitting headache and decided to just give up. I started out expecting a main character that comes into his powers and saves the day. Well, shit loads of therapy to be quite honest. Like Brangelina need to adopt another baby to complete their very own UN Tea Party set. I desperately needed my super power fix like Lindsay Lohan needs Crack. This being because I am a self-admitted Superhero freak. Thanks to HC's constant pimping, I started this book out with high hopes and expectations. Can they figure out the super villain's plan in time? When the Trill takes an interest in Eric, too, Peter and Althea, along with Magnifiman and Eric's normal, middle-class family all have to work together to keep Eric, and their city, safe. The two boys decide to start dating, much to the chagrin of their other best buddy, Althea, who has a terrible crush on Peter, and a secret or two of her own to keep.Īs the fight between the villain, known as the Devil's Trill, and superhero Magnifiman picks up, Eric's relationship with Peter almost ends before it begins when Eric finds out about Peter's special talents, which might just rank Peter as a superhero in his own right.

Peter is Eric's best friend, and even if he does seem to be hiding something most of the time, he finds a way to show Eric how he feels in between attacks on trains and banks and malls. The new super hero who springs up to defend Vintage City is almost as bad, making Eric all hot and bothered, enough so that he almost misses the love that's right under his nose. There's a new villain in town, one with super powers, and he's wreaking havoc on the town, and on Eric's life. Strange things are happening in Vintage City, and high school goth boy Eric seems to be right in the middle of them.
