The Cloak Society

review 1: TLC Call #: J Kraatz JChris’s Rating: 4 starsAfter the fall of the Rangers of Justice in Book 1, some junior members of the Rangers and ex-Cloak members have come together in a strained relationship of heroes and ex-villains. While Alex Knight doesn’t regret hit decision to oppose his parents he can’t help but miss his old life while currently hiding and on the run. With new beings with powers appearing on the scene the mismatched group will have to decide who is friend or foe as they struggle to rescue the heroes trapped by the Cloak Society within the Gloom. The problem is the group seems at odds with who to trust…and a group of elite Cloak Assassins just might be staking them out.Villains Rising is a fitting sequel to exciting world created in The Cloak Society.... more While I predicted the source of Alex’s moment of “insanity” instantly, other moments, particularly the ending, came as a complete surprise. The one thing that bugged me the most was how certain characters either rejected or accepted potential add-ons to the group in kind of a half-hazard fashion. This is an excellent read for boys age 10-13…or adults like me that enjoy children’s lit.
review 2: In this sequel to The Cloak Society, Alex and the remainder of the Junior Rangers are hiding out at Amp's house, but of course they are imperiled. They take in another kid with superpowers, Bug, and infiltrate the underground base of the Cloak society. Then I lost the rest of the notes I took on the book, and by that time the book was already checked out again. The students really like this series, and I appreciate the gray area in which it exists. Not overly wild about the new cover (Ghost looks a bit odd), but this is a great series to add if your readers like Anderson's Sidekicked, Cody's Super, or books with a lot of action, adventure, and random super powers. less
