Bouncing Back by Amber GabrielMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Bouncing Back completes Elam Bentley's redemption arc - he's finishing his stint in the Supervillain Rehabilitation Project by serving a one-year term on the Reno team. If he gets through this, he'll be a full-fledged hero. If he doesn't, well, it's back to jail. He has his work cut out to earn the trust of the team, though. And his attraction to his team leader, single mom Rightcross, isn't helping matters.
I'm not sure what I thought about this one. I enjoyed Stretched Thin, and I think Bentley is a fun character with much to root for, but for some reason, Bouncing Back didn't quite hit the spot. There was a lot going on with the DOSA team, along with a child with epilepsy, and everything just felt a little messy going between the POVs of Rightcross and Elam.
The gospel message was also a bit more explicit and in your face than other SVR books, so it felt a bit odd.
At any rate, it was still a fun read!
