Drew Hayes

Bones of the Past

After her apprenticeship was done and a place in the guild of villains secured, Tori's life was supposed to get simpler. Unfortunately, a poorly timed errand sees Tori caught in the debut of a new team of capes, one wearing an all-too-familiar name. Thrust into the spotlight, Tori will have to navigate her unwanted fame as well as the suspiciously superheroic new neighbors down the hall, all while keeping up with her own villainous enterprises. With the guild no longer a secret, Hephaestus needs to grow as strong as possible to face her mounting threats. Ambitious gangs, battling against mechanized traps, and brawling with capes are only the beginning. Behind the scenes, a hidden enemy works to settle an old score, one that has burned for decades. This secret scheme will not only endanger Tori, her friends, and the guild, but the very world itself.

I loved the series! It was one of the "yass it has 1k pages, it won't end too soon" and I still finished it too quickly. 

The villain's guild, that you root for? The Capes that are not so pure and perfect as you'd expect? More backstories? More character development? Yes, please. The main character is a young woman, there's barely any romance, she's basically a mix of Iron Man and Human torch when it comes to powers. Drew did it again and gave me all my favourite tropes with dry humor and good writing. I was also jumping between ebook and audiobook - the lector reading it also did amazing job.
