The best book I've read this year. Although it's only January 18th, lol. But seriously really good book loved the fast paced action and in depth details. Eager to see what else this author has to offer.
Wow!!! I literally scowered the internet last night looking for book 2. What's up with that cliffhanger. Is this seriously the only book out for the series right now? You can't do that to people.
Wow, was pleasantly surprised with this one. I mean I think the cover is awesome but expected this to be a childish read. Was shocked, great action, great flow and kept me turning the page. If I had any recommendations I think some of the scenes could have flowed better and had a bit more story behind them, but then again it's a series so perhaps my questions will be answered in the following books. Definitely worth the read, can't wait for the next one!
Really fun book. I like the whole non human angle. Curious where this is headed.

Why do the movies always portray mutants as having some kind of glorious plight? If a kid got bit by a radioactive spider he’d probably puke webs right before he died. Men that can walk through bullets and fly don’t dress in tights and pretend to be newspaper reporters. And there are no special flashlights to shine in the air to signal you when there’s trouble. You want to be a superhero and fight crime? Prospects are unlikely at best. Chances are you’d just get sued by the criminals you arreste...more
Anthony Dimar has just entered his first year of high school which would normally be more than enough to deal with. But add a pair of bat-like wings, someone hunting him down and going on a crazy journey in search for the truth Anthony’s life flips into a world wind of crazy!

No, this was not the blessed event that he had been waiting for to make his life complete.

This was a short novella and the beginning to The Creature Kid series.The age group of our main character and his friends is 13/14 years old, and I'll be honest, at first I struggled to immerse myself in the plot. This book was a little bit younger of a YA then I'm used to reading, However, at the halfway point I realized that I needed to approach this story from a different angle. I had to stop attempting to see it from an older stand point and see it from the stand point similar to which an ad...more

I think that this book has a great concept. I have to admit, I was a little hesitant at first to read this, but I think that it definitely paid off. The idea of being like a superhero, but living that in real life is something that we don't really see in fantasy anymore and it was interesting to get to read a take on it. Most fantasy or paranormal books talk about a person getting these amazing powers and using them for the good of mankind, but in reality, we learn, it's not like that at all. It...more
Beneath the moon and stars review
The beginning of this book was very slow. It's kinda short so I wondered if it was gonna pick up. It did :). This was actually a very fast paced book.
Anthony is just an average teenage boy about to start his first year of high school when he randomly grows wings in the school bathroom. Anthony was smart and seemed to be worried about the dangers. His friends just thought it was cool and didn't bother to think about what could happen if someone found out. Of cour...more

Creature Kid book consists of 104 pages and is Volume 1 of The Teenage Chronicles by Rashad Freeman.
I read this book very quickly. I liked the storyline however I was left feeling a little disappointed as I think the book could have had more detail in it and I got a bit lost in places, I was left wondering about what happened once a certain thing happened and it felt a little rushed in parts.
If being a teenager isn’t bad enough with raging hormones and the likes, without finding out you are a mu...more

What a lovely premise for a book. I loved this book. Anthony is a normal boy with some special abilities. I liked that this book shows what happens when someone develops new powers. We get to see him adjusting to trying to learn how to use his powers and it not being as easy as it is always made to look. Anthony has a great group of friends that support him and are willinging to help him. This is a great book for kids that are having starting high school fears as this touches on that too.

Soon after he finds himself under surveillance by mysterious men and strange things start happening. He and his friends decide to head out to try to reach his uncle with the hopes that he can shed some light on the situation.

Anthony is this strange kid. I mean he seems normal at first, but there is a lot of conflict going on here. I love the connection he shares with his friends, reminds me of those older movies like Goonies or something. I like the imagery used it really puts you in each scene and makes the conflict all the more real. The plot is very interesting and I really want to see where this thing goes. The ending really sucked me into the series. I think it could've been a bit longer and maybe some ports ex...more
Have to admit I had no clue who this author was, but a friend suggested I try one of his books so I did. Then I read another and another. The only thing that pisses me off is two of his current works are in a series yet they're the only ones out right now. I feel like I did when I was waiting for Deathly Hallows...just hurry up already.
First book I've read of his, won't be the last. Fun book with tons of action and a plot that makes you drool waiting for Volume 2.
Good quick read. Shame that other books from the series aren't out yet. I'll definitely keep an eye out.
For once the rumors were true. Really enjoyed this book thanks to Tommy Boy's blog for the recomendation.
Wow!! First off I guess this is an old cover because my kindle updated with the new cover on amazon which looks freaking awesome. Now onto the book, I loved it. I think I might have a new favorite series, I'll fully commit once I see another book. But so far I'm sold this book rocked.
Cant wait to read the next book in the series.

Um, I read this book in 3 days in between a whinning two year old, work and school. Honestly that was hell week and I think this was my only escape. The book was very well written and took me on a journey. It was like a little vacation in my mind lol although I had to sneak off and read it in places like the bathroom. (I know TMI!!!)

"________ isn't your typical teen". That's how every teen book starts these days, when they are all really unoriginal, boring, dumb and stupid.
