Villains Return

The Shadow Master, Book 5

By: M. K. Gibson

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Following the events of Villains Defeat, Jackson Blackwell—the minor god and former Shadow Master—is dead. His empire toppled, his entourage dispersed, and his stain upon the cosmic landscape wiped clean. And that is exactly what Jackson, the newly graduated Titan, wants Eris Pence and the gods of the multiverse to think.

After two years of secret training, Jackson is ready to begin his rampage, his mission of sweet revenge. The only things standing between him and his dark desires are a few pesky personality tests and a Titan named Frank.

Villains Return is the fifth book in the award-winning Shadow Master series and something of a whirlwind tour of Jackson’s greatest hits. This action-packed dark comedy calls back to several beloved locations, ties up more than a few loose ends, and forces Jackson to see beyond his immediate goals. Growth, it seems, can come at any stage in a person’s life. Even a right prick like Jackson can become a better man—or villain.

Keep em coming!

Great addition to the story! A lot of conversations though. Easy to lose track. Still loved it.

Gods Above & Below This Series Always Delivers

Jackson Blackwell is by far one of my favorite villains of all time. Villains Return truly excels at combining vulgar comedy, plot twists, subtlety, and villainous insights. Makes me want to start the series over again from the beginning. MK Gibson is my go to author for an entertaining, engaging, and hilarious story.

Worth the wait

This book has a special place in my heart for personal reasons, but even ignoring that it's a solid addition to the series, and well worth the wait. Jackson is a lovable little sh*t, and Jeff Kafer is gold as always.

Well done, sir.

This book may have taken a while in the making, but I do agree with the Patrick Rothfuss approach of making sure that it is the book you wanted to write and not the bash-to-deliver keyboard slave's output. I love this unhinged Tedx rollercoaster of opinions and blatant theft. As a DM for DND, I respect it and I can't wait for the next book.

What stood out the most? EVERYTHING!!!!

The only thing I disliked was that it took me 4 months to realize it came out! These books have a best twisted sense is humor!
Jeffrey Kafer is the best! And I LOVED the bloopers at the end!!
