"I want you to help me rob a bank." The moment I heard those words, I should have slammed the door in my brother's face and cracked open a book. Though if I had, I wouldn't have run into August, the city's main superhero... and the man of my dreams. He's sexy, kind, and sweet--everything I'm supposed to dislike. You see, I'm a villain... well, kind of. Honestly, I'd rather curl up and read than commit crimes, but life doesn't always go the way I want it to, especially after being raised by some cut-rate villains who can't even steal toilet paper without getting caught. Suddenly, I find myself spending time with August and realize that maybe there is more to life than petting my hairless cat, but the issue is... what happens when he figures out that I'm Leviathan, an extremely powerful villain? Can he still love me regardless of who I am? When actual supervillains start targeting August, I might be forced to show everyone who I truly am, but villains and heroes aren't supposed to save each other, let alone fall in love. Although, I've never been one to do what I've been told.… (more)

This was a fun easy read. I liked Landon and August. The banter between them was amusing. I loved Landon's supervillain family. Especially their supervillain group, SAVCGEM (Super Awesome Villains Combined for the Greater Evil of Mankind) and the evil deeds they undertake. (The toilet paper, dear god, the toilet paper!) I loved the first half of the book, but the second half with the inclusion of Valerie was pure gold. The romance between Landon and August was sweet (I loved that they both had crushes on one another) if not particularly steamy or particularly well rounded. But honestly this is mostly a comedy than anything else and for a comedy it nails it. 4 stars. ( )

Fabulous

This was a fabulous book. It was hilariously funny, just like any Alice Winters book, with a great story behind it.

Landon's snark was everything. ( )
