Summary:
Strange things are happening in Vintage City, and high school goth boy Eric seems to be right in the middle of them. There’s a new villain in town, one with super powers, and he’s wreaking havoc on the town, and on Eric’s life. 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.

The Series:
1. Rise of Heroes
2. Evolution
3. Ordinary Champions

Review:
What I said in the rec before this one, about there being some other, really good books about superheroes? Masks is one of them.

I really enjoyed the three stories long series, because it combines the elements I like in my superhero fiction: originality, meaning that it's not just your average Marvel/DC comic (just with gay characters), and the genre Coming Of Age. On top of that the story is well written, the characters are likeable and the plot really is original and has some nice twists.

I know that almost $6 isn't cheap for an ebook. Especially if there are three of them. But: It's really worth the money. It's one of my favourite books about superheroes and it could be yours as well. ;)

edit: See the comments below for the fourth book. :D
