JUDD
LGBTQIA+ SUPERHERO FICTION
by J. D. Toombs & Erika Schulze
Comet Cove is a city where everyone gets their own special powers when they come of age. Everyone, that is, except for Samael Judd.
Ordinary in a world of extraordinaries, Sam faces the possibility of exile, should his powerlessness be discovered. When a Fragment doesn’t accept themselves, their Aura doesn’t give them the powers they’re promised, making them a Blank.
But a solution exists: If Sam can confront the part of himself that he would rather stay buried, he just might be in the clear. That is until he finds out he’s revealed his secret to the wrong person.
REVIEW
4 out of 5
In some ways, Sam is just an ordinary teen, with the struggles you’d expect from a typical sophomore in high school. Unfortunately, there’s one slightly bigger, out of the ordinary problem – in a city and school where everyone has superpowers, Sam hasn’t gotten his yet. The secret holding him back is a big one, and not an easy one to admit to anyone. It’s not unusual for a teen to struggle with coming out, especially when you’re not sure whether you’ll be accepted. There was some great world building, and the characters were well fleshed out. I’d definitely recommend this book!
