The Vilification of Aqua Marine: Superhero Slice of Life Misadventure is the first book in the Working Masks series. I have enjoyed other books by this author before and was glad to see she had a new series. The story is a delightful look at an upcoming superhero or supervillain. Aqua Marine is challenged in deciding what route she will take in life. I enjoyed her character, interactions with her parents, and potential archnemesis, The Overlord of the Dance. The story is original and interesting. This is a quick read, and I didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed the characters and look forward to how they progress in this series. I think this can be enjoyed by teens and older. I am looking forward to grabbing the next book in the series.

Aqua Marines mother was a supervillian while her father was a superhero. She wants so very badly to follow in her father’s footsteps. Her powers are quite weak compared to the other superheroes so she tries harder than anyone else to make a name for herself. Aqua can only manipulate a cup of water at a time. One evening when she is taking on a villain called The Overlord of the Dance, she accidentally grabs the water from his heart, killing him in the process. This sends Aqua into an existential crisis and gets her to rethink her future as a hero.
Aqua finds out that the Overlord of the Dance actually didn’t die and is now out for revenge. Calling her out of her depression, she finds reason to continue her journey of becoming the superhero she always wanted to become with the help of her new nemesis.
This book was exciting enough to maintain the interest of multiple audiences. It is geared for a younger audience but I enjoyed it quite immensely. There was action, emotion, heroes, villains, a bit of politics regarding both things and even a little splash of romance. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a fun read.

The Vilification of Aqua Marine (Working Masks #1) by Megan Mackie
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Vilification of Aqua Marine is a fantastic read. I had a fun time reading this. If you’re a young adult this will be perfect for you. This is also the first book in the Working Masks Series.
Rhiannon, aka Aqua Marine, wants nothing but to follow in her dad’s footsteps. She wants to be a superhero. She tries and ends up hurting a man. Then she gets a chance at the hero thing only to find that her mother has set it all up. The quote I chose for Rhiannon is: “I didn’t ask you to do this! I mean, come on, this is absurd. You’re committing a public disturbance at best right now.”
Mack, Aka Overlord of Dance, is supposed to be dead. Now he’s not and now he’s trying to prove that he can be a villain. Aqua Marine is his enemy or at least she’s supposed to be. Then changes and now he’s changing his tune. The quote I chose for Mack is: “That is a horrible answer. You can’t leave it like that.”

Aqua Marine is a young woman with dreams of being a superhero and despite having stellar parent, one a villainess and the other a superhero, she hasn’t quite inherited their prowess. The only thing she can do is control a cup of water, she can make it swirl, move and jump, but that’s it and what kind of rubbish power is that?
One day she is watching the news with her mother when there is a report of a villain, the Overlord Of The Dance who is strutting his stuff and using this to make everyone around him strut their stuff as well. He isn’t the most well known villains, but Aqua Marine spots her chance to make a name for herself and decides to confront him and stop him in his musical tracks. When she gets there however, he is less than impressed with her powers and pretty much laughs at her attempts to stop him, that is until he feels something squeezing and pulling him backwards, that something is actually a someone, it is Aqua Marine.
All she thinks is that she has hold of a cup of water, but until she watched him die in front of her, Aqua Marine doesn’t realise that the cup of water she was controlling was in the Overlords heart, so she calls in some help and he is rushed away in an ambulance. A few days after she fears she has killed the poor man and she is ready to turn herself in, instead she attends a function with her mother, something she is unwilling to, but expected to attend and it seems that her opportunity to become a hero has passed her by, that is until the Overlord appears and insists that she becomes his arch nemesis.
Will Aqua Marine take up the offer of being the hero nemesis to the Overlords villainy, or is the road to hell paved with good intentions, which are not the same as what everyone else wants? This is a super fun fantasy adventure where heroes and villains abound and mayhem ensues, all while you try and figure out which side will win in the end.

I truly love this book, and it’s one of my favorite ones I’ve read this year. It’s such a fast paced and fun story, and you get absorbed as you read it. Rhiannon or Aqua Marine was a great character. Having a superhero dad and villain mom is nothing of the normal. However she embraces it and she’s trying to the best of her ability to excel because she wants to follow in her father‘s footsteps, but she felt she’s lacking. There was just so much that went into the story that made it so amazing. Everyone loves a good superhero and this definitely have it.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this author or this genre- it definitely isn’t one I would pick up at the library. But, I’m glad I took a chance! This story will make you laugh out loud!
Rhainnon/Aqua Marine comes from a family of a superhero and a supervillain. This leaves her wondering where her place is in this labeled world. She feels like she is an imposter because her superpowers aren’t good enough in her eyes. She wants to leave an impact in this world and to just make her mom proud of her. She isn’t sure how to make this happen with her power to lift only one cup of water at a time.
This entertaining and fun read will have readers from the younger end of the YA audience to adults engaged and willing to see what happens next.

I had not read this author before so I was not sure what to expect when I decided to read this book, but I was not disappointed! I found it to be a fast paced entertaining story about a girl who is trying to be a hero and live up to her father’s hero legacy, but she is also dealing with her mom, who does love her, but is a well-known villain. She accidentally finds herself with a nemesis that she isn’t sure what to do with. The story line was packed with action, backstory, and plenty of twists and turns that I definitely did not see coming. The story was also quite humorous and had me laughing out loud. The characters were well developed and fun. Even the “villains” were people I would want to go get a drink and hang out with. I would totally want to have the poison checking gloves on though, just in case. I absolutely recommend this story and I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this author or this genre, but I am far beyond surprised. How have I not read any of her other books?! I was sucked into the superhero (or supervillain?) story from the beginning, and it never had the over-the-top feel that I anticipated. Instead, I found myself laughing and gasping with each humorous yet dramatic turn. Rhainnon/Aqua Marine is the daughter of a superhero and a supervillain, which leaves her wondering where her place is in this labeled world. I find that terribly relatable as we all try to find our own way even if our parents are well-known and/or polar opposites. Rhainnon feels like she is stumbling about as an imposter because her superpowers aren’t good enough in her eyes. How can she truly leave a mark on this world if her power is as effective as a splash in the face? From great character building to a captivatingly written world, I can’t think of any possible way this could have been a more enjoyable read! I will absolutely be picking up more of Megan Mackie’s books and looking forward to the rest of the Working Mask series!

Aqua Marine is a quirky novel about the superhero. The writer does a good job for this young adult book. Aqua is going on a discovery of herself she is on a journey to figure out who she wants to be. Great for anyone who likes superheroes and villans a must-have for any marvel of the fan. I enjoyed seeing the development of the characters through the story.

There is yet to be a single book by this author that I have enjoyed thoroughly. This book is just another example of her fantastic writing style and ability to capture readers interest. I loved the main character in this book and watching her discover who she is and what she wants. Her journey was wonderful to experience. I loved the premise of the story as well. The book felt completely different to the others book I have read by this author but was just a good. I can’t wait to see what is next with this series.

I picked this book because of the cover, and I love comics. I was’nt disappointed. Aqua Marine aka Rhainnon is the daughter of a super hero and an evil villain. As she grows up, it is ambiguous if she is going to pick up the positive or the negative traits of her parents. But Aqua wants to be a super hero like her dad and hence begins her attempts to do something positive desperately to emulate him. As those efforts go wrong, what starts as an attempt to use her super powers leads to hilarious consequences. It’s really a fun comic book suitable to read for young adults and adults alike. I look forward to reading more from this author.

The Vilification of Aqua Marine is the first book in a new superhero adventure series by the brilliant Megan Mackie. This is definitely another feather in Ms. Mackie’s cap and is a testament to what a talent and versatile writer she is. She’s is such a skilled writer that I think she could write a shopping list and make it exciting reading! This journey of self-discovery is a fun superhero fantasy adventure with plenty of action, imagination, danger, drama, and enough twists to keep me well and truly hooked. Rhainnon (aka Aqua Marine) has always dreamed of being a superhero and stamping her mark on the world. But in her opinion, her ‘superpowers’ are a bit of a fizz. She doesn’t think she has what it takes, even though she should be quite powerful, what with one parent being a superhero (dad) and the other a supervillain (mum). Add in an evil nemesis, a surprising discovery, and a cleverly-woven caper… and this story really takes off! A completely engrossing and fun start to a fantastic new series…. I really can’t wait to join Aqua Marine (and co) on another entertaining adventure! Highly recommended! Happy Reading!

The vilification of aqua marine caught my eye by the author, and the cover art! I honestly thought this book just by looking at it would be for a young adult audience, but I enjoyed the story right from the start…and I’m from the higher end of Generation Y! I love to stuff right into a book. If course I do a little reading of the intro to spark my interest, but many times it takes a little while before I can start to read it and by then it’s all brand new. I was literally in awe at super hero/villain style of the characters. The author starts you off with instant shock in the initial chapters, and just when you think that was enough, you start to meet family members, villians, attend events, etc. This makes for great character development! I loved seeing how aqua marine decides her fate with every turn off the story. This story is very enjoyable and a nice lighter read for me! I’m looking forward to more books in the working masks series!

I absolutely adore Aqua Marine, her enthusiasm, charisma, and drive make her a very unique character. She handles a lot of difficult situations in a very believable way. She’s the kind of down to earth, balanced girl every reader yearns to follow. Her journey through young adulthood, and finding herself through the obstacles presented to her are entrancing.
Megan Mackie’s first book in the Working Mask series will leave you itching for more. As Aqua’s story develops, so does her talent and the relationships closest to her. She’s so sassy I found myself laughing out loud and groaning in frustration right along side her. Megan puts you right into the world, and immediately immerses you into diabolical plans that will have you questioning everything. Pick this one up and be ready for some action packed fun.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when starting this book, but the cover art caught my eye so I decided to read it, and I’m glad I did. The story of superheroes and villains was well portrayed and left me wanting more. The book is geared towards a younger crowd, but poses as a great read even for older audiences. Aqua Marine aka Rhiannon, has to face the dilemma of having both a superhero and an evil villan for parents. Her mother Black Fox, constantly reminds her that even though she is retired, she still possesses great influence. While she tries to be a great superheroe like her dad Reboot. I highly enjoyed the push and pull relationship dynamic of mother and daughter and thought it added an air of comic relief to an already enjoyable story. I would recommend this story to anyone who is interested in a story of someone finding themselves in a world full of people who constantly try to persuade them to be who they want instead of being true to themselves. This story is full of adventure, sibling rivalry, and hero villian dilemma that makes for an interesting read with surprising twists. This book left me wanting more and I couldn’t put it down. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series to learn more about Rhiannon and the heroes and villains of Phoenix City.

Imagine what it must be like to be the daughter of both a villain and a superhero! Insert Rhiannon, aka Aqua Marine. Her super trait is managing a cup of water at a time. Sounds pretty easy, right? It is until she uses it in a nefarious way and blows someone’s heart out. Where does that leave her now? Her mom, Black Fox, is excited to hear this new development and is hoping she can turn her daughter in a super villainess like she is. Will she succeed?
This book is a lot of fun! I kept equating parts of this book to one of my favorite movies, “Sky High”, where they are assigning superheroes versus sidekicks. Rhiannon would likely be more of a sidekick. My favorite character in this book though….hands down….no equals….is Overlord of the Dance. Every scene he was in had me laughing, hysterically at times, at the mental images that I was getting of him. I’d like to see him get his own story soon!

This was an enjoyable read. This book is definately aimed at a younger audience but was still enjoyable.I loved the idea of superheros and the fight that Rhiannon aka Aqua Maine goes through. The author does an amazing job with the characters especially Rhiannon and her mother. Both characters are so different but they are so alike in many ways
Rhiannon had super parents. Her mother is an evil villain and her father is a super hero. She wants to follow in her father’s footsteps and not be a villain like her mum, however she struggles to get a break as a hero and the pressure from her mother to become a villain is very strong. When she sees an opportunity to make a name for herself as an hero but defeating a villain called Overlord of the Dance. Things don’t go as straightforward as she planed. With confusion, drama, twists and turns we now start an new adventure with Aqua Marine and when the Overlord of the Dance approaches her about becoming his enemy will she take it and become the hero she wants to be or will she succumb to the pressure of her mum and join the villains?
This is a great fun read that transports the read to a world of superhero and villains.

Adventurous, clever super heroes & super villains This was an unexpected find and such an engaging read. Loved the characters and the anti-hero theme. This draws you in from start to finish. The writing is polished, world building and characterisation spot on and plays out just like a movie. There’s action, super powers, mystery and loads of humour. If you love comic book universes or just a well-written sci-fi supe fantasy – this is your book.

This book is by a new author to me, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I loved the cover artwork as it appeared to look like a superhero caper and that screamed must read to me. I am so glad that I did. I wasn’t disappointed in this story at all. It’s geared more for the young adult reader, but as an avid comic book reader I found this book to be perfect for comic book fans. In fact, I have already spread the word to many of my comic junkies that they need to read this story. There is so many funny hijinks in this book I was laughing until I cried. It’s also filled with action and drama along the way, but my family thought I was crazy because I was laughing out loud so much. I highly recommend that you and your teens pick this wonderful book up. It’s perfect. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next caper ahead.

Megan certainly keeps her readers on their toes with her eclectic stories. She is not a writer who is boxed into one genre and that is what I like about her. The Vilification of Aqua Marine was originally a short play that Megan had written that she turned to a book. Lucky for us.
There is lots of action, thrills, drama, mayhem and surprises. It is a fun Superheroes vs Supervillains story with some elements of comic books. I don’t read blurbs as I like to go in blind with no preconceived ideas about a story and Megan does the unexpected and that is what makes her stories great. I love the unique characters.
This is not my normal reading genre, but I enjoyed this new world Megan has created and was pleasantly drawn right into the story as I know you will be too.

I enjoyed reading this book. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by her. This is the first book in a new series for this author which I really enjoyed. It is a great start and I can’t wait to see what is next. This is a well written story about a set of parents where one is a supervillain and the other is a superhero. Then you have the child who is somewhere in between them and just plain a work in progress. Aqua Marine is a great character who just wants to be a superhero but there are alot of ups and downs. You don’t want to miss what happens with the characters in this story. They are strong, creative, unique characters that bring life to the story. They truly made the story for me. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. There is great growth throughout which made the story easy to read and made it entertaining. This is a great story you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

Megan Mackie has done such a great job of taking an unique spin on superheroes tale for the YA audience. As to be expected, a slew of superheroes and villains with their array of powers and abilities mixed with complicated family dynamics and relationships that develop. This entertaining and fun read will have readers from the younger end of the YA audience to adults engaged and willing to see what happens next. These themes are so easily relatable to many of us.
Rhiannon, also known as Aqua-Marine, is a young female coming to terms to being comfortable with herself regardless of her family influences. Coming from a family of superheroes, Aqua-Marine is trying to set her own mark as she contemplates her family’s guidance and her own morals as she begins to understand whether she wants to be a superhero or a supervillain. This story takes us on a journey of her quest on seeking her own path in her superhero world. This is only book 1 to the series and I am ready to see what happens next!

This book was so good from start to finish! I was highly invested as I read, and the book certainly kept me interested as I read. I was hooked and could not put it down! Amazing writing and story!
What I loved most about this book was the inner emotions of the characters. I can say honestly for us all that at at least in some point in our lives we wanted to make our parents proud no matter what it took! I really felt for Aqua Marine, her mother wanted one life set for her that she felt was best, but yet Aqua Marine wanted to make another path, her own path! The book was inspirational and yet deep feeling at the same time. I loved the author’s writing and way with words! I laughed out loud so many times, and I loved the light bigheartedness of this book.

Rhiannon, aka Aqua Marine, is undergoing many of the struggles some of us may feel empathy with. I found this book quite entertaining. Though the story takes a few plot twists, the humor is enough that my family wanted to know why I was chuckling. I found the characters relatable, even being superheros. Rhiannon could be any of us. The author has a way of writing that makes you chuckle and laugh as you read. I love this author’s writing. It’s contemporary and has a way of pulling you in all the way until the end. I was engaged from the start and couldn’t put it down until the end. You have to try this one. I know you won’t be sorry. Fantasy lovers must read this one.

Despite Aqua Marine’s super lineage, this wannabe superhero can only control a cup of water at a time. Not very effective as far as superpowers go. Never mind being able to stop the new nefarious villain, The Overlord of the Dance from taking over part of the city.
That is until she discovers there is a cup of water in the human heart when she accidentally blows his out.
Now her villainous mother wants her to join the League of Extraordinary Evil.
Aqua Marine would like to hide under a rock.
And Overlord of the Dance? Is apparently not quite dead yet, and he would like to have a word with her about becoming his new nemesis.
If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, Aqua Marine’s is a slip and slide, with capes.
