Problem? Damien gets the mythical X. He finds out that his father is a superhero and he could go either way. Damien moves in with his father, step mother and half siblings, determined to still become a villain. Throughout the book, Damien is torn between doing what is right and what he knows a villain should do.

He killed their grandmother and left Scarlett scarred and missing an eye. This leads to them hunting Fenrus with their friend Silas. The relationship between Silas and Rosie blossom, but where does this leave Scarlett?






I've decided to try to read a book a day. I'm not going to start over on January 1st...HELLO...I've already read 6 books!

Technically, I'm already behind. Maybe I'll catch up over the summer.

6 read...350 to go.
