I love that the plot of The Rise of Renegade X deals with heroes and villains. It's a topic that has not been done (at least in the books I've read), so it was a welcome break from some of the paranormal I've been reading lately. 
 When children turn 16 in Chelsea Campbell's fictional world, they receive a V or H thumbprint, declaring them a hero or villain forever. It's a genetic thing, so you normally know what you are far ahead of time - but poor Renegade X ends up having an X, meaning he has a mix of both hero and villain genes. 
 The book is spent with Renegade X and his quest to become a villain like his mom. Those that receive X's eventually turn to V's or H's depending on their behavior in the years after the X, so Renegade X is constantly thinking about what he's doing and how it will affect his future V or H status. 
 I had a lot of fun reading this one. The characters were all fun, especially because they all have a special super power. The world they live in is also very entertaining because heroes and villains are constantly battling each other, and it's just the way it is in the world, very casual and nonchalant. A fun read about a different kind of topic.
