Renegades (Renegades Trilogy, #1)

I went into this book with a bit of a narrowed mind as i had some reviews on it that painted in an ugly light.  Instead i got a wild amazing story about superheros and villians that made me realize those reviews were very narrow minded and they really did not read the book. 

We have get secret identities, superpowers galore and vengeance with a tiny tiny bit of possible romance brewing.  We have a crumbling society that is filled with people who are not superheros with powers but yearn to maybe be heroes like the old days.  You got those who are on the good side which are Renegades and those painted as being on the bad side the Anarchists. 

Then you have characters like Nova who want to be on the good side but have been wronged by those who are suppose to be on the side of the law.  Her family was wiped out when she was very young and those who should of come to save her did not come in time.  So she been brewing an appetite for revenge her whole life.  

This story is so much more then i expected it to be and i can not wait for book two.  It was a great lesson in not always believing what others say about books.
