The Rise of Renegade X by Chelsea M. Campbell

There is also a bit of romance in RENEGADE, but it is not a main focus of the novel. RENEGADE definitely has a cinematic quality. It was unlike any other novel I’ve read and it doesn’t surprise me that it is already being considered as a possible film. The entire novel, plot, characters, and all, are so creative and fun. Damien was definitely my favorite part of the book! Mars’ Logan Echolls and the funny guys you know in school – which is a pretty amazing combination. He was absolutely hilarious and had me laughing aloud more than once. Superheroes and villains are cool, but I asked myself, are they my kind of cool? It didn’t take me long to realize how silly that question was: THE RISE OF RENEGADE X is an amazing book, filled with sarcastic humor, youthful insecurity, and awesome costumes.ĭamien was such a fun character! Half the time he’s a super sarcastic little jerk and the rest of the time he was… well he was still a sarcastic punk, but he was a loveable one. I’d heard a lot of talk about it – and the talk was good. I did not know what to expect when I picked up Chelsea Campbell’s debut novel. Going to extreme lengths (and heights), The Rise of Renegade X chronicles one boy’s struggles with the villainous and heroic pitfalls of growing up.

But when Damien discovers he’s the product of his supervillian mother’s one-night stand with – of all the people – a superhero, his best-laid plans are ruined as he’s forced to live with her superhero family. Main Themes: Heroes, Villains, Family, Love, Growing Upĭamien Locke knows his destiny – attending the university for supervillains and becoming Golden City’s next professional evil genius.
