Publisher's summary

Despite having their secret revealed, the residents of Melbrook Hall return to Lander University for another year in the Hero Certification Program. Good thing the focus of this year is teamwork, because with their origins known, they'll have to lean on each other more than ever.

Now finally sophomores, their curriculum expands, allowing them to train in the majors that Heroes specialize in. The new classes will test their minds, bodies, and determination in ways never anticipated. In a year filled with the unveiling of secrets, unexpected entanglements, and, of course, super-powered battles, who will be left standing is anyone's guess. Because if all that weren't enough, more light is being shed on last year's kidnapping attempt, and the results point at something far bigger than mere rogue educators.

Something that isn't even close to being over with.

I hate Drew Hayes!!!

I picked up this series to kill a little time.

I am now hopelessly addicted to it and saddened to know there is an end to this glorious tale.

There is a character(s) for everyone to identify with in this book. We have all been in these situations and felt the insecurity that these characters have been though.

I am unable to get anything done, I have to find out what becomes of these characters that feel like friends and family to me.

So, in closing "F" Drew Hayes.... I had a life before starting these books!!!!!

Perfect addition to the series.

The author is a bit heavy handed with the "he replied" and "she said" which can make parts of a group conversation a bit of marathon. I respect unabridged is as described but when the narrator goes into easy to follow characters it's tedious. I still absolutely loved it. I also really value that its not the typical 10.5 hour audiobook so you can really get into the story.
Fight scenes can drag a bit at times but thats more of a personal opinion. I am also frustrated with the ongoing cliffhangers that were started in Book 1 with the fantasy answers were coming in Book 2. Then again that's what will likely keep me interested.
I accidentally started with Corpies which lead me to year 1. By the end I was searching for year 2 weeks before it's release. I can't wait until 3 arrives.

Holy crap that was good!

I really enjoyed year 1 and was anxiously awaiting year 2, but I would never have anticipated how beyond satisfying it would be.

I rarely have time to sit down and read but am seriously considering reading year 3 instead of waiting a month. For the moment, my soul is happy and satiated. For the moment...

Just About

What did you love best about Super Powereds: Year 2?

It builds a world, and populates it with some cool characters. And I'm not just talking about the main six Melbrook characters, but the 2nd and 3rd tier ones as well, both faculty and students. The story moved along, and I was invariably eager to get to the next part, however haphazardly I was listening to it (usually on the walk or bike ride to work). Looking forward to the next one.

What other book might you compare Super Powereds: Year 2 to and why?

It's a college Harry Potter, though using X-Men style powers. That's a good thing if properly executed, and by and large this is.

What does Kyle McCarley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Kyle really does the different voices well. With the main six characters I can instantly tell who it is, even if the text doesn't immediately tell us. He's a fantastic reader, and is a huge impetus for me to experience the next book in audio form, rather than on paper or Kindle.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Too long to listen to in one sitting, it probably took me a month or a bit less, there were very few days I skipped.

Any additional comments?

I knocked this story down a star because of the trainwreck that is Vince Reynolds. A naive, meek coward, afraid to hurt a fly. I hope to God that Book 3, which I've already downloaded, does something interesting with him, and that the events of this book change him, or at least make him evolve. He sucked.

Also, making Alice Adair hot made for some interesting visuals (I pictured Evanna Lynch ironically), but given that not one sober guy in two books has hit on her......well......just seems out of place.

So much better than it should be

This series should be predictable, derivative and, at best, an entertainment. What it actually is, I posit to you, is nothing short of revelatory.

not much action... 😞

Lacks detail...and this is supposed to be a hero book...well it's more like a romance/mystery/ I sink know what to call it...I just wished the characters would use the power that they have more often...and the book drags along kinda a repeat of the first book just slightly different situations and lots less using of powers. no sex and no really good fighting. Enough said...
