Super Stories of Heroes & Villains was one helluva ride to read! From origin stories, romance gone wrong, to aliens from outer space and lets not forget philandering ‘heroes’ – there is a little bit of something of everything to turn your head. I’m quite happy to say I’ve found a handful of new authors to add to my ‘must read soon’ list. Hats off to the editor for compiling a really great collection that any fiction fan would greatly enjoy! Read it and Kick Ass my friends!
