Laura P. (hemmputnam) reviewed Born to Darkness (Fighting Destiny, Bk 1) on 4/6/2012 + 438 more book reviews

I really liked this futuristic story! I grew up watching Justice League cartoons on Saturday morning and as much as I enjoyed the good guys beating the bad guys, I also really wanted Wonder Woman and Batman to get married. This fits the bill! There are definitely dark elements to the story (rape scene, torture, threatening of children) but the good guys with their superpowers win the battle if not the war (yet). As book one of the series, there's a fair amount of world building. Sometimes the characters being inside each other's heads got a little confusing, but overall it was a great read. I can't wait for the next book!
