About this listen
Mark Salzmann would like to be known as the Pirouette Punisher, the swift foot of justice! But to the citizens of Grand City, he's known simply as that ballet-dancing streetfighter, Fluffy Feet. Or is it Twinkle Toes?
When his girlfriend, Liv, discovers his secret, Mark loses everything. His girl, his job, his dignity...everything. Determined not to give up, Mark sets forth to win back his girl, defeat a new nemesis, and show Grand City what he is made of.
A stand-alone adventure, you do not need to have listened to the previous books in the Heroes of Grand City series to enjoy this book.

In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

The DFZ, the metropolis formerly known as Detroit, is the world’s most magical city with a population of nine million and zero public safety laws. That’s a lot of mages, cybernetically enhanced chrome heads, and mythical beasties who die, get into debt, and otherwise fail to pay their rent. When they can’t pay their bills, their stuff gets sold to the highest bidder. That’s when they call me. I’m a Cleaner: a freelance mage employed by the DFZ to sort through the mountains of magical junk people leave behind. It’s not a pretty job, or a safe one....

Cue was perfectly happy working as a tech super in the dingy basement of Seattle's Superhero Office. Or at least he was until he got mixed up with a machine that could increase superpowers, foreign agents, and a fire-wielding gang of criminals. Now he's dodging fireballs and using his power to change old tech into something that can keep him alive. Luckily, he has a knack for being a hero.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Tired of a world that not only accepts the worst in her–her temper, her violence—but requires it. Worst of all, she realizes she’s growing content with that life, with being that person.

Down On His Luck Super Hero Comedy
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
Although this says book 3 of the Heroes of Grand City - you can jump (or leap) into this book without any issues. It stands on its own and no prior knowledge is needed although there is a passing reference to the events of The Undisputed Dr Fizz.
This book is a quick, light read about a down on his luck super hero that accidently outs his own secret identity and gets dumped by his girlfriend. We also get a few villain origin stories with varying motivations. The humor lands and the characters a more than tropes. They feel real and have some surprising turns. You will never guess how the climax ends.
Any fan of superheroes will find something to enjoy - and hopefully the promise of many more adventures to come.
The narrator Joseph Baltz continues his energetic voice acting keeping this tale moving even when the hero feels like hanging up his boots. He gives voice to the various characters and elevates the action.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
