Young Blood (An Umbrella Academy YA Novel)

There are seven of them, six now without Five and does Viktor really count without powers? He just wants to be one of them; the others just want to be normal for one night, to fit in. And what’s more normal than sneaking out to a college party? But they’re teenagers who have super powers and were raised to fight, normal really isn’t their thing. So, of course, the party they go to just so happens to not be as normal as it seems. What else could possibly go wrong?

If you’ve seen the show, this is a great tie-in prequel to the characters as teens. If you haven’t seen the show, it’s still enjoyable but there will be some things that don’t make sense. The characters feel copy and paste; sure they each have a different desire and motives, but they all have the same voice. The plot is simple and there are definitely some holes, but it kept me engaged and wanting to know what happens next.
