About this listen
The four rules of freelance villainy are as follows:
1. Always wear a mask
2. Never hurt civilians
3. Never kill the heroes you’re paid to fight.
4. And the bad guy always loses.
I've made a good career following the rules and taking on superheroes in scripted fights. But I'd never dreamed it would end up with me dating two stunning supervillainess, getting a household death ray, and having a mad scientist living in my basement.
But you roll with the punches in this business. Be it coaching yandere psychics on the art of villainous monologuing, sourcing costumes from busty demonic fashionistas, or taking down a superarms dealers trying to kidnap my mad scientist. One thing's for sure, there's never a dull moment being the bad guy.
Villain for Hire is a humorous adventure through the world of heroes, superpowers, love, and villainy. Featuring nefarious plots, monsters, mecha fights, and demonic dressmakers, this adventure is sure to delight.

Story
Randold, better known as Rand, was no ordinary individual. Despite his best efforts, he possessed an extraordinary secret—he was a Super. Well, technically speaking, he belonged to that exceptional group, but he concealed his true nature from the world. For Rand possessed a remarkable ability to manipulate all forms of energy, even the Superpowers of others, a power that, if discovered, would undoubtedly land him in dire trouble with the government. The consequences ranged from imprisonment to something far worse.

Story
Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

Story
An experimental ASI with a terminal case of curiosity reached out and tampered with the universe in a way that it should not have, and unleashed a torrent of energy we would call magic into our galaxy. Humans, and every other intelligent lifeform for that matter, were ill-prepared, physically and mentally, for such an eventuality. In an effort to save itself, the ASI hastily created something it called the Framework to shape and codify this magical energy, and usher in a new world. A world of classes, levels, and extraordinary power. But also a world of monsters.

Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms.

An urban metropolis filled with fantasy races, erected atop the back of a giant asteroid. Meteoropolis. And millions of years in the future, to boot. But that's not all. I've got super powers, too. To add to the excitement, I end up hosted by an anxious unicorn elf named Pinky Peach who is basically a professional gamer girl.

Retired to a community of renegade fae, street-racing shifters, and fallen celestials, Zane’s quiet life on the beach comes with challenges no greater than finding a reason to get out of bed in the morning and knowing when to call it a night at the bar down the street.

Story
The local wolffolk mafia longs for their glory days, and their alluring don, Alessia Lionetti, wants a powerful enforcer to bring them back. That's Vince. This is his big break from his days as a hired thug. Working for the mafia has a short life expectancy, though. Especially in a world where the masquerade shattered long ago. Demons run banks, birdfolk ferry people across town, and the police possess crack teams of sorcerers to keep the peace. Bad news for Vince and his dreams of mafia wealth.

Story
Growing up on modern day Earth, I had no idea I’d been selected from birth to help a dying race save their population. So when a starship abducts me for a royal wedding with galactic consequences, my only option is to help its crew of beautiful officers complete their mission. The catch? I have to protect my gorgeous bride and new allies from an alluring enemy who wants my immunity to a fertility-killing plague for herself, even if it means I have to take command.

Story
Garth had been the favorite for the number-one draft pick in the next season of the USA's top sport. His college career was supposed to end on a high note… but it didn't. Sabotaged in his final game, he found himself shut out of the Dungeon League of America, forced to retire his jersey in shame. With no other options, he leaned on his university degree and became a licensed psychiatrist and therapist. That should have been the end of his dungeon-crawling days. But then, a new dungeon appeared in his city.

Story
Peter Busch-McGinley is a self-employed handyman in Max City. For the last eight years, life has been a downward spiral that left him nothing to show for his pain. But that's about to change. Pete is approached by the patron deity of the Fertile Valley and Mineral Village—the self-described Harvest Goddess. She reveals his destiny as her chosen one, which obviously throws him for a loop. As shocking as that is, it isn't nearly as surprising as what his childhood friend, Queenie Luna, reveals to him.

Great follow up!
This was such an enjoyable listen. It definitely walks a fine line between the naïveté of golden age comics and the campiness of 60’s Batman, without sounding cheesy, unless it’s called for. Just trust me, it works. I have the same complaint as the first book…not long enough.

Villains here and there, villains everywhere
What I like most about this is the light hearted treatment that being a professional villain takes on and while there are clearly truly evil people out and about in this universe most of the villains are just trying to make ends meet with the hand of cards they have been dealt

Great Series Continuation
This was a great book two that is taking the story in a great direction I think. From solo to mentor Victor is now looking to reluctantly begin running his own evil organization. The story progression, plot, and character development are spot on in this book series. I would highly recommend this series to fans of the genre.

Mad scientist sheep girl with sweater bunnies
And an unsocialized snow queen and attention-grabbing psychic with baggage.
Yet it all works out for you if you're the master of magnetism.
This series is great!
I'm loving the characters and the storyline.
Wonderful writing and narration.
Now that they have an evil lair mansion, they can start down a new path as a group.
I love it!
8.5 stars out of 5.

Entertaining and a little kinky
It's hard to find a harem book with some femsub BDSM in it. There isn't a lot of that here, but enough to make it stand out in a good way.
Apart from that, it's quite enjoyable! A fun take on the superhero trope. I'm enjoying seeing the story arc progress and advance the main character. The "junk mecha" bit was over the top, it's still an entertaining, light-hearted superhero novel.
It definitely sounds different from the previous book. The male voice actor has been replaced. I feel like there's less character voice work than before, but the main thing that bothers me is when the male and female voice actors will pronounce words differently. The word that most grates on me is the name of the ice powers girl, Glacia. It's clearly meant to be inspired by "Glacier," not "Glass," so don't pronounce it "glass-ia"!
But still, other than that - very enjoyable book and I'm going to dive into the others in the series.

The Super series I've been waiting for.
Fun story, loveable characters, protagonist with actual reasons behind his actions, and a world filled with potential and dying to be explored.

A great continuation of the series loved it.
New male voice narrator knocks it out of the park. He delivers an amazing Magneron and I usually don't like narrator changes but he breaths life into the characters. We get dolly's back story and some great spice. I love the story and can't wait for Magneron to walk the path to a supervillan.
