Publisher's summary
Samantha Havardson is not an Apex. She’s completely ordinary with a totally normal family that just happens to moving to the Apex epicenter of the world- the manmade island city of New Delos. Although she thinks her lack of super Apex abilities will keep her out of the limelight, it quickly becomes apparent that the city has different plans, sweeping Samantha up in a world of secret identities and super powers where anyone, even those closest to her, might be an Apex.
Plagued by missing students, secret Apex teams, and a mysterious man named Adrestus, Samantha searches for answers, causing secrets to unravel about her classmates, her family, and herself that drag her deeper into the secret world of the Apex.

Dr Rick Tower is a mild-mannered English professor easing into middle-age at a medium-sized New England college. A genial blur, he thinks. Even his vices are unremarkable. But it wasn’t always like this. Not until they changed his name, altered his looks and told him: ‘pretend you were never different’. Because, decades earlier after a very bad day at high school, he was committed to a secret government facility with three other kids, Cat, Jack and Stephanie, each special in their own way. Tested, tutored and trained, this extraordinary quartet were then told to save the world.

Dorian Hawke's daily routine was pretty straightforward. Wake up, pull his weight around the village, eat potatoes, go to bed. Not too shabby. Not very interesting, maybe, but it was honest work. Then a boat falls like a meteor from the sky. Next thing he knows, a gorgeous elf and stunning faun tell him that magical blood runs through his veins, and they need him to navigate their ship through space.

Humans have been pushed to the brink of extinction by an ever-evolving demonic threat. Portals are opening faster than ever, Towers are bursting into the skies, and Dungeons are being mined below the last safe havens of society. The demons are winning. Quest Academy stands defiantly against them as a place to train the next generation of Heroes. The Guild Association is holding the line but is in dire need of new blood and the powerful abilities they could bring to the battlefront. To be the saviors that humanity needs, they need to surpass the limits of those that came before them.

Eric was as shocked as everyone else when the apocalypse struck, but unlike his mother's movie, there were no chosen heroes destined to fight the beast hordes now overrunning the planet. Just people trying desperately to survive. Yet there was a glimmer of hope that humanity could hold on to. A chosen few really could level up in this brave new world, and embrace magic, adventure, and the potential for limitless power!

Long ago, Requiem was plagued by war and abandoned by the gods but Death saved the suffering people, giving each soul a hundred years of immortality. With that grace, he also sent two Maidens. One of Life, for healing and comfort, and one of Death, the only person in the world with the ability to kill. Generations later, the Life Maiden is missing and Princess Deyanira is nothing more than a trained weapon. A hunter. A murderer wrenched into Death's dark court to have the name of her next victim seared onto her palm.

Twisty and turny! Highly recommend!
Snarky main character! Strong but nerdy and sweet love interest. Super heros. Gods. Twists and turns that are so well built up, you’ll never see them coming. And yet they come together perfectly! And sword fights! What more could you want? Seriously though, I loved it! 😍

Amazing book
I can’t explain in words how much i enjoy this book. It took me back to the feeling i had at 12 when i would randomly grab a book off the shelf and accidentally stumble upon my next obsession (a book as not made me feel like that in a long time)
This book at twist after twist and just when i thought it couldn’t get more intense it did! I wish i could re read it again for the first time. Cant wait to listen to the next one ❤️

Great World building
I was so pleasantly surprised by this series. If you are a big Drew Hayes or Peter Clines fan this is right up your alley. M T Zimny has the character and world building of Hayes, and the plot twists and turns of Clines, in other words she sucks you in, makes you care, then leaves you day dreaming & wanting more! it's deliciously torturous.
It's definitely a YA fiction as it's very clean both in language and sexual references (clean meaning they are non existent), which I appreciated. As such, some aspects of the main character (Sammy) are typical of YA fiction with themes of jealousy and snap decisions, but they are fitting with her age as a Sophomore in HS. all that being said, the twists in the book are actually quite surprising, and I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. I can't actually say what's going to happen next, which makes me want to read more!!
Character development of not only our heroin, but of the other characters, is good and there are a lot of ways the story can build.
World building starts from the very beginning and only gets better as you go.
All in all it's a great fantasy read (or listen) for both teens and adults.

wow, thay performance!
the story was well written and engaging. This was a pretty sleepless day for me while I flew through this one. I've never heard this narrorator before but she did a fantastic job, including some voice artifacts I found extra fun.
If you enjoyed Deadly Education by Naomi Novak, or are a fan of Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson, this book is definitely worth checking out.

Oh. My. Gods.
Sky High. My Hero Academia. Teen Titans. And now the Apex Cycle. Four of my favorite superhero stories. A strong, coherent story. A strong female character who can sometimes infuriate you, but always make you cheer for her. I wish the sequel was already on Audible, so I can listen to it.

Really enjoyable read
This was a really excellent story, there were a few moments where a character missed obvious things so that the plot could continue the way the author wanted which is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. they were completely forgivable moments and sometimes we just have to suspend or disbelief a little bit.
most disappointing part was I thought the second book was already out and now I have to wait.
I will definitely be keeping my eye out because this was very a great story.

Fun Superhero Story with Lots of Twists!
This book was so fun with lots of unexpected twists and turns! Samantha begins a new school on an island with many Apex (people with superhero powers), but not everyone loves that there are superheroes. Lacking any powers herself, Samantha still manages to get involved with the Apex at her school. When her roommate, who is quite interested in Apex, goes missing along with several others, Samantha realizes she has to join with the Apex at her school to find out what happened.
