Prism and Fade are my jam.
Seriously, this is one of my favorite superhero series in the world, and I am so invested in each one of these characters.
I just started reading book four last night (even though it’s been on my Kindle for a few days now), and it’s already promising to be just as good (or even better), than the last three books.
Author H.L. Burke did such an amazing job! I seriously can’t get enough of these books and won’t be upset if the author decides to add another book (or twenty) to the series.
(And can I please freak out about those covers for just a moment? They are so fun! They were the first thing that drew me to the series, and they absolutely fulfill the promise that these books will be a fun—and intense—read.)
Check out the full series right here:
{Supervillain Rehabilitation Project series: Reformed, Redeemed, Reborn, Refined.}
Plus, there’s a fun spinoff novella that I read in less than a day.
{Blind Date with a Supervillain: Supervillain Romance Project}
About Reformed, Book One:
Once a villain, always a villain?
Optimistic and idealistic superhero Prism is determined to redeem her father’s legacy by rebooting his supervillain rehabilitation program. To do so, she sets her sights on Fade, the relapsed supervillain who was the reason the government canceled the original program in the first place. However, when she petitions for Fade to be released into her custody, she finds out things might not be as simple as she thought.
Convicted of an unforgivable crime, Fade received a choice: surrender to trial and possible execution or endure a memory erasure so he could start fresh. Now with no recollection of his time before incarceration, Fade doubts he has the ability to be anything but the villain the public believes him to be.
A series of attacks by a mysterious power-swapping villain points back to Fade’s past and the crime that cost him his freedom and memory. With her father’s legacy and her own reputation on the line, even Prism has to wonder: can a villain truly be reformed?

About Redeemed, Book Two:
An idealistic heroine. A reformed villain. A troubled teen.
Can the Supervillain Rehabilitation Project form a family out of this mess?
Still working out her team’s dynamic as well as her own fledgling romance with former villain Fade, Prism is blindsided when her superiors order her to take on another rehabilitation subject or risk having her team broken apart. Then her best friend and fellow superhero, Tanvi, foils a robbery but injures a super-powered teen in the process. Guilt stricken, she begs Prism to let the young girl, Alma, AKA Soulbird, be their next project.
Alma fills a gap in the team and works her way into the group’s hearts. However, her past stalks her, as the villain who forced her into a life of crime in the first place doesn’t want to let her escape into hero life without a fight.
Can Prism and her team redeem Alma from her past, or will the villain life drag the girl out of the SVR and out of their reach forever?
About Reborn, Book Three:
The worst blows come from those closest to your heart.
Idealistic superhero, Prism, has taken the Supervillain Rehabilitation Project to new heights. With her team thriving, her marriage to former supervillain, Fade, blissful, and her first child on the way, the life of her dreams is within reach … but supervillains never rest.
When a mysterious gang of criminals targets superhero facilities, Prism’s team springs into action. However, these villains have a nasty surprise in store for Prism: all its members are already dead … and one of them is a ghost from Prism’s past. One she can’t bring herself to take down.
Faced with an enemy who always strikes for the heart, Prism has impossible decisions to make. Choices that could cost her the things—and people—she cares for the most.
About Refined, Book Four:
It’s hard to be a hero when crime is in your DNA.
Now a full time hero with a beloved wife and treasured daughter, former supervillain Fade is certain nothing could take him down a dark path again. However, a mystery from his past lies in wait, a mystery tied to a part of his life he’d rather forget.
When DNA evidence reveals that Fade’s biological father is the elusive and enigmatic assassin known only as Syphon, Fade wants nothing to do with that mess. Unfortunately, Fade can’t shake the target this newly discovered connection puts on him—and the backs of his friends and family.
Fade’s only chance to fix things is taking down Syphon himself. But Fade’s long absent father has his own plans for their reunion. Plans that could cost Fade everything he’s fought and bled to create.
If you like Brandon Sanderson’s The Reckoners series (Steelheart, Firefight, Calamity), Jason C. Joyner’s Rise of the Anointed series (Launch, Fractures), Marissa Meyer’s Renegades series (Renegades, Archenemies, Supernova), or Hope Bolinger’s and Alyssa Roat’s Dear Hero/Dear Henchman duology (Book two coming soon! Yay!), then this is exactly the series for you.
Have you read any part of the Supervillain Rehabilitation Project series? Or is it on your TBR list?
I would love to hear what you think!
In Him,
Michele
Coming soon: Silence the Siren has a RELEASE DATE. Excuse me while I hyperventilate over here! (And wait impatiently for things to be “in place” before the official announcement. Gah! This writer doesn’t have that kind of patience!)
