Publisher's Summary
Eighteen-year-old Aidan Salt isn't a superhero. With his powerful (and unpredictable) telekinetic abilities, he could be one if he wanted to, but he doesn't. He's unambitious, selfish, and cowardly, and he doesn't want to have to deal with all the paperwork required to become a professional superhero. But since the money, fame, and women that come with wearing the cape are appealing, he decides to become the first supervillain the world has seen in more than 20 years: Apex Strike.
However, he soon finds villainy in a world where the heroes have long since defeated all the supervillains. While half the world's heroes seem to want him dead, the other half want to hire him as their own personal villain to keep them relevant. Choosing the latter course, Aidan enters a world of fame, fortune, and staged superhero fights that is seemingly everything he ever dreamed of...at least until he sees what truly hides behind the cape-and-mask lifestyle.

Pleasantly surprised by some original ideas
If you can look past the teen / young adult angst and obsession with lust that you'd probably expect from morally questionable supers, then it's easy to get drawn into this well thought out narrative. The characters are likeable, even possibly plausible. The story is well paced and actually has several story twists that you didn't see coming. Enjoyable enough that I'll look for more by this author.
