J.R. Grey
Engineer. Survivor. Supervillain.
When a down-on-his-luck engineer ends up coming into possession of a rundown suit of power-armor, he sees an opportunity to make some quick cash by selling it off to the nearest supervillain.
Unfortunately for him, what should have been a quick and easy sale to pay off his debts quickly grows into an ongoing series of events that serve only to drag him deeper and deeper into the criminal underbelly of the city he calls home.
In no time at all, Erich finds himself fending off neo-Nazi gang members, crazed capes, and the dangerous affections of his newest employer's criminally insane daughter.
All he wanted to do was make a quick buck . . . .

The world setting which isn't revealed all at once but in parts, some of which - the master - only in the epilogue, serves as a great carrot for the reader. While the protagonists receive their share of the background story and glimpses at the experiences that have molded them into what they are now, which are quite consistent and realistic (can be taken seriously), while the protagonists party's goons are nothing more than goons. This only continues to enforce the existing gap between the supes and regulars. And when the highlight is on a goon, you know it's for a good reason - chekhov's gun.
Hardlight's final is half a load of a breadcrumb. Hopefully more insight will be provided in part 2. In audiobook format the book just fly by. Either Mr. Grey's writing or Mr. Helleger's narration or just the length of the work, but I have a scratch for more poor career choices now.
Conclusion: 4/5. Listened on Audible included in plus catalogue. Narrated by: Neil Hellegers. Story with an unorthodox super hero setting. Has romance, dealing with trauma, a bit of mental health issues in the protagonists (perfectionism, daddy issues etc.). Certainly will continue with Supervillainy and Other Poor Career Choices: Book Two. Only con is that J.R. Grey literary career from 2019 only has two books. Terrible value for the length of the book - 2.28 $/hour ( 17.19 $ / 07 hrs 32 mins ).
Values:
Terrible: >1.66 $/hour
Bad: 1 - 1.66 $/hour
Good: <1 $/hour
Dream: 0.4 - 0.27 $/hour
As onorthodox a super hero as could be - s-villain

Some books take the opposite approach and give you a character that is borderline unlikable or so evil they border on unrealistic.
This book does it right. The main character is realistic, positive traits and flaws. However, when push comes to shove, their personality is clearly defined in an unambiguously villainous way. This isn’t a hero in a villain costume but someone you’d probably avoid in the real world.
Beyond the main character you have a supporting cast that are interesting in their own right. Everyone has depth to them and their own goals.
I loved this book.
