About this listen

Candace Bristol has always been obsessed with comic books, but in a world where the nightly news often mirrors these inked stories, her dreams of becoming a real superhero could actually come true. After being rescued by members of the government's AdvaNced Genetic EvoLution (ANGEL) Project four years ago, getting recruited for this elite team is all she's wanted.

Now 18, she's finally reached her goal after years of study and physical training, but little could have prepared her for life as a genetic experiment. As though coming to terms with her new ability to manipulate water isn't tough enough, she never expected to be swept off her feet by one of her fellow recruits.

With genetic alteration, the threat of physical and mental instability hangs over every superhero like a shadow. When one of their own tumbles over the edge of madness, Candace will have to choose between protecting the world, and saving the one who holds her heart.

Not what I usually read, but glad I gave it a shot

First, know that I hardly EVER leave reviews (long story, but there are reasons). Second, know that I am not usually a follower of super hero fiction. Third, I'm not a big fan of romance, either.

That being said, I'm a big proponent of indie writers, and love audiobooks, so when I won the Evolution audiobooks in a contest, I thought I would give them a try.

I'm so glad I did. This series has made me break my review embargo.

The Evolution story is a mashup of romance and superhero fiction, well written, and well narrated.

Starla Huchton, you've gained a new fan.

Phenominal story

overall it was a very enjoyable book. the story was pretty good but it was the lore that really sold it. I do wish she focused on the Angels a little bit more but it was good nonetheless. It wasn't the best book I've ever read but this is definitely a good one.

Absolutely Fantastic!

So, I don’t think I can say enough good things about this book.

Candice loves everything about superheroes, and she can’t wait until she turns eighteen to sign up for the Angel project. When she’s accepted, it’s the thing of her dreams. Inside the experiment, she learns a lot about herself and those who were accepted alongside her. Her cousin, Gabe, introduces her to her soon to be lover, Adrian, and from there, Candice’s life is beautiful. When her powers start to come in, and she nears graduating from the program, things start to change. Evil isn’t a black and white concept. She’s about to learn just how many shades it comes it.

This story hit everything that I love about a YA book, not to mention the twist of an ending. This book was filled with beautiful characterization that had been wondering if the author based them off real people. The descriptions were well done, and the worldbuilding was fantastic. Not to mention the possible love triangle and real teenage angst. It was all so brilliantly done that I was legitimately sad when the book ended.

Great news though is that this is just the beginning of the series. I will definitely be continuing on to see what else poor Candy Cane will have to endure.

Narration was wonderfully done giving life to each of the characters in a way that further brought the story to life.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Excellent writing, superb narration, READ IT!

This book was a wonderful, perfect balance of romance coupled with dashes of heartbreak. From a literary standpoint, the plot development was excellent as was the character development. I was truly able to become completely engrossed in this book, and even feel like I was a part of their world.
In my experience, it takes an exceptional writer to draw their readers in, in such a way that they forget the world around them. This book definitely accomplishes that.
I highly reccomend both the print and audibook for this piece, as the narration is very well done. The writing is also very well done.
Excellent work, you have gained a true fan.

Teenage and young adult super heroes

This is a very well written story. I enjoyed following Candy as she discovered that becoming a super hero isn’t like in the comic books. It’s hard work both physically and mentally.
The narrator did a great job in bringing the story to life. I am really looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Surprisingly Good.

I am always leary about listening to a book that is Naratted by the Author, but Huchton does a great job and sounds like she should be a professional at both. Great job and even better story.

Epic!!!

Wow! This has to be one of the most original story lines I've ever heard. I can't even begin to put in to words how magnificent of a story this is. Has a little bit of sci-fi, if you consider super heroes created by science as sci-fi; we get a tragic love story as well.

I've listened to this author as a narrator before and am continually impressed with her abilities with each new performance. This is an author who doubles as a narrator and is able to give us a fabulous performance, too. Bravo!

Slow story, great execution.

Once the book got about halfway through, it was pretty exciting., but I feel like the author decided she was going to account for every bit of the ANGEL program, regardless of whether or not it was interesting.

The characters were well developed and intriguing, and the drama was compelling, but it felt like the first several chapters could have been a one to two chapter summary and still been sufficient.

Not your typical superheroes

I rated this book a while ago but, after a second listen, decided it deserved a review. This is a fun twist on superheroes. Lots of action, funny banter, fantastic character development and a bit of romance. I was definitely entertained.
