Synopsis:
Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Victor Vale and Eli Ever. Sydney and Serena Clarke. Great partnerships, now soured on the vine.
But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she's finally gained the control she s always sought-and will use her newfound power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She'll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other once more.
With Marcella's rise, new enmities create opportunity-and the stage of Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning.
Review:
I really wanted to love this book, and parts of it I really did. But I was also a little bit frustrated too. The jumping about in the timeline at the start was kind of annoying, I found it hard to keep track as the scenes didn't really change enough to show it was a different time. The chapters are so short that I felt the time jumps were a little unnecessary. However it did pick up a bit and the time jumps started to make more sense when we got to know Marcella more. I did like her as a character and I liked June as well but I felt the ending was a little unresolved for what I had hoped for.

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.
