Publisher's Summary

A Neon Darkness, the second Bright Sessions novel from creator Lauren Shippen, asks: “What if the X-Men, instead of becoming superheroes, decided to spend some time in therapy?” (Vox)

Robert Gorham always gets what he wants. But the power of persuasion is as potent a blessing as it is a curse.

Robert is alone until a group of strangers who can do impossible things - produce flames without flint, conduct electricity with their hands, and see visions of the past - welcome him. They call themselves Unusuals, and they give Robert a new name, too: Damien.

Finally, finally he belongs. As long as he can keep his power under control.

But control is a sacrifice he might not be willing to make.

All of Lauren Shippen’s writing is incredible, written in book form or script form i’d consume it forever. The cast that she’s accumulated, including Carlie Ian, really care about their characters and you can definitely feel that through this novel. The characters are rounded and believable, easy to empathise with or for, and are acted in such a way that you feel like you’re friends with them too. Can’t wait to read (or listen to) the next book in the series and if you haven’t already, check out the infinite noise and all of the Atypical Artists podcasts.

I love and hate Damien

The writing and story is great, and the dichotomy of hero and villain in Damien is amazing. i love how hard he has to work to not be evil
