Sounds like this one requires quite a suspension of disbelief on the readers part, but I'm glad you found so many great attributes in the writing and mystery aspects.

Sounds like quite a book! I like that its believable and that the protagonist doesn't solely rely on his superpowers. Thanks for the review. :)

It was like a mix between a detective story and a superhero story. It was fun.

Glad you enjoyed this one. I like that it's set in England and has a good ending. It doesn't sound too long either, I might check this one out.

Haha, I've always liked the superhero genres, this is a must-read for me. The post replicating this has been happening a lot today I don't know why..
Great review as always, Kandscreeley

Yeah, I think it's the misinformation issue, the computer telling you your post hasn't been posted yet it has,..but I haven't gotten that problem myself, ..anyway. :tiphat:

A super-hero mystery? Sign me up. I'm hooked on these kinds of stories (be it novels, movies or TV shows), and your review really made me want to read it.

Thanks kislany. There are super powers, but it is more of a detective mystery.

Quinto- Thanks for commenting.

I think Ritah got a whiff of whatever was in Marianne's secret lab!

What an unusual story: superpowers that aren't used that much, toothless animals being abducted and a cultural trip around Winchester!

Well, I like unusual. Thanks for the intriguing review, Kandscreely!
