Not Your Villain (Sidekick Squad, #2)

by C. B. Lee

Bells Broussard thought he had it made when his superpowers manifested early. Being a shapeshifter is awesome. He can change his hair whenever he wants and, if putting on a binder for the day is too much, hes got it covered. But that was before he became the country's most wanted villain.

After discovering a massive cover-up by the Heroes League of Heroes, Bells and his friends Jess, Emma, and Abby set off on a secret mission to find the Resistance. Meanwhile, power-hungry former hero Captain Orion is on the loose with a dangerous serum that renders meta-humans powerless, and a new militarized robotic threat emerges.

Sometimes, to do a hero's job, you need to be a villain.

I LOOOOVED Not Your Sidekick. Of course, I had to read the next one. I finally got to and while I did enjoy it, it's as a strong love. I was anxious to find out what happened next while the first quarter of the book is catching up on what Bells was doing during the first book. And the romance has so much going for it, but it's not the linear sweet happy romance like Abby & Emma's in Not Your Sidekick. I love the trans and ace rep. I love the unusual powers and the twists and all. But it did drag a bit and felt meandering. At least, before the end where it fixes it. I will of course read the next one. I think that will go better with all three of them caught up and on the right track.
