REVIEWS FOR THE VS. REALITY SERIES

What reviewers, authors and artists are saying:

A GAME-CHANGER ★★★★★
"Blake Northcott is the most exciting new voice to come to superheroes in over a decade. She's got a brand new angle on this material. I genuinely think she's going to be a game-changer." - Mark Millar, Writer, Kick-Ass, Wanted and The Ultimates

JUMP ON BOARD ★★★★★
"Sometimes you get a chance to jump on board a writers career at the start, before everybody else discovers how good they are. Blake Northcott is that opportunity. So jump on her already...wait, just read her books." - Dave Johnson, Artist, Superman: Red Son, Deadpool and The Punisher

MIND-BLOWING ★★★★★
“Blake Northcott is pretty much is making nerd dreams come true. Action, Suspense and Comics all at once? Can I make that a double, with a large side of blow your mind? ! Try not to fall in love. I dare you!” - Regina Carpinelli, CEO and Founder of Stan Lee's Comikaze

AWESOME ★★★★★
“A fun, mind-bending adventure that moves at a blistering pace. If you love superheroes you need to read Vs. Reality!” - Mark McKenna, Artist, DC Comics and ‘Star Wars: The Old Republic’

EXCEPTIONAL ★★★★★
“A thought-provoking, white knuckle page-turner of the first degree.” - Billy Tucci, Creator of ‘Shi’ and Founder of Crusade Comics

A MUST-READ FOR ANY ACTION/ADVENTURE FAN ★★★★★
“Fast-paced and exciting, risky, and has wicked awesome characters! Complete with a twist at the end that leaves you totally wishing for the next book!” - The Bookish Brunette, Book Reviewer

‘KICK-ASS’ ON STEROIDS ★★★★★
“If you enjoyed that movie, you'll love this book. It's like tossing comic books and action novels into a blender.” - John Corwin, Author, ‘No Darker Fate’

AN ADRENALINE RUSH ★★★★★
“Blends the aesthetic of a comic book movie with the mind-f#@& of a Chuck Palahniuk novel. It's an adrenaline rush. It's a commentary on addiction. It's the source material for a future summer Blockbuster.” - Amy Leigh Strickland, Author, ‘Olympia Heights’


SUMMARY

If your deepest desires spontaneously manifested into reality, giving you powers and abilities once limited to your dreams, what would you do?

Donovan Cole hates his life: his body, his job, his relationship…until one night a violent confrontation outside a nightclub causes him to change – instantly infusing him with almost supernatural size and strength.

The transformation is only temporary, and before long he realizes that he’s not the only one; people around the world have been manifesting at random, able to bend the laws of physics that govern our universe…but they’re rarely seen or heard from again.

Who, or what, is causing them to disappear? What’s the trigger that causes someone to change? And is it arbitrary when someone manifests their powers?

Cole is drawn to a beautiful but troubled girl named Dia who is looking for similar answers, but has a solution to the unreliable nature of their unstable powers: an experimental drug known as ‘Muse’ that enables the user to trigger their abilities and transform at will.

Battling a powerful and mysterious faction known as The Collectors – as well as their own addictions – Dia, Cole, and a small group of friends race against time to unravel the secrets of their uncanny abilities…but they may not live long enough to find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well crafted and just the beginning.... 1 Aug 2011
By JHUK
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
You know what? It's a romp.
It really is the kind of story that you can sit and read in one or two sittings without getting bored. Frankly, I would have finished it sooner had I not had to do dreary things like...eat and speak to people.
But once I got that nonsense out of the way I was free.
Free to tuck into a caper with just enough comic-book, just enough sci-fi, just enough drama and just enough people getting kicked in the head to keep things ticking over nicely.
It's fun, fast paced, the dialogue is snappy and the mental images painted with the kind of care that it is easy to see the scenes in your mind's eye.
And the nice(r) part is that it's just the first of a series, so I am looking forward to the next instalment of Vs.Reality.

Y'know, I could see a graphic novel, screenplay or even a videogame out of this....

4.0 out of 5 stars If you liked Kick-Ass you'll love this. 18 Dec 2011
By Claire
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although it took a few pages to get used to the author's style of writing, it had me thoroughly hooked. It was just like a comic without pictures. It was constant action, and an interesting twist on the usual superheroes.

I can't wait for the next in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breath-taking 8 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
A super-hero story for grown-ups with just enough "reality" to be really entertaining, a certain sense of humor and a great suspense... Breath-taking !
