There were many things to love and enjoy about this novel. Later, I will point out something I hated about this book.I liked the very good opening chapters. They evoked powerful feelings and detailed how it all began. Excellent jump into an origin of a character and their powers.The later chapters kept the pacing and feelings of a teenager superhero. Good job on that. I liked the different characters that support and in some ways have their own spotlight to the main character, MC.All in all, I finished the book in a days reading, since it was very good in almost all respects.NOW...here's the but....How many times can you use the word "moan", "moans" safely without this book being kind of weird and NC 17? It seems Mr Gregory can use it 43 times. lol. Yes, kindle word search let me confirmed after the 10th time it was used that it was NOT my imagination, but unfortunately his proofreader didn't point it out. And have him delete the extra "moan", "moans" and replace them with the bland 'said', 'says'. Which if he had, I wouldn't have noticed it, even though Kindle word search stated it 'say' was used 1206 times. Why is that? It's because in writing, it's common place, in fact almost mandatory, and our minds eye glazes over it immediately when it sees that.  That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Because otherwise, it was a very well written origin story.I do look forward to the sequel. Just not too many "moan", "moans" and oh yeah "skid"...(19) times. Yes, we know they move fast, yes, we know they can't seem to stop on a dime. But surely you don't need to point it out 19 times. lol.But,Like I've told others: You write. I WILL buy.Excelsior!!
