Ironside and Aegis: Carnevale: A Kayla Hicks Book Review

What is Ironside and Aegis: Carnevale by David E. Bruno about?

Ironside barely survived the battle in Lancaster, California. Having lost his powers and with no memory of what happened, he’s a shell of his former self. Haunted by the ghosts of the past, Aegis clings precariously to sanity. And she has a secret. They’ve faced tragedy before, but nothing could prepare them for what lies ahead.

The Agency, thought to be vanquished, re-emerges stronger than ever. Their goal remains the same: world domination and power. Convinced they will make the world a better place, they intend to use a new genetic breakthrough to conquer the masses.

In Venice, nobody is who they seem. Allies become enemies and enemies become allies. New heroes join the fight. Can the team come together in time to be the heroes the world needs them to be? In the battles ahead, there are but two outcomes: freedom or death.

My Review

This was a great addition to the book series, continuing the hero Ironside's journey after the battle in Lancaster, California.
We find that Ironside can't remember anything, especially that he's in love with Aegis.
It's a long road back to who Ironside once was, but the question is, can he get there?
I was able to beta read this book and enjoyed the continuation of the character arcs portrayed, especially as more of the superpowered world is revealed in this story.
What was also nice was showing how Ironside's lost memory affected everyone around him and made him make some questionable decisions. This then caused the other characters to also make some surprising decisions.
If you enjoy superheroes and a story that reveals itself in waves, this is a solid addition to the series.

I give this a 5-star review.
