Book 1 of 1: Repulsive

See all formats and editions

Zack Zurick loves superheroes. Lives them. Knows everything about them. And hey, he is a classic underdog and has an alliterative name, so maybe he could one day be chosen to join their ranks.

His life drastically changes when he becomes Repulsor. He’d hoped the fame and money would make Hayli see him as more than a friend. Instead, she can’t even look at him without literally getting sick. And the whole saving-the-world thing turns out to be harder than he thought, too. The villains have teamed up, and the heroes have a traitor in their midst. Zack must figure out who’s betraying them, defeat the bad guys, and, oh yeah, not get killed.

Right. Why not just go ahead and win the girl while he’s at it?

Maybe he could. If she weren’t dating the most popular, most famous, and most handsome superhero of them all. And if only he weren’t … Repulsive.

Think High School Musical meets Heroes, without the singing

The only thing I can say is that I hope there's a satisfying ending for these kids in the end. While the characters are stereotypes, the geek and troubled girl next door, they are perfectly written in a world that feels so realistic. Definitely interesting in how we go from questions like the reasons on not killing villains and can supers have normal relationships to how to get out the friend zone and why one goes from one bad fling to the next. Overall, the whole Conversion event feels like a "monkey's paw" scenario with needing to sacrifice a great deal for the sake of powers.

Late night fun with Repulsive.

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

I regulated my reading of this book to the evenings before bed and this superhero tale kept me up more than a few nights of eager entertainment. I love the robe, and the fact that you can't see the hero's face due to his power, which causes some to be physically ill. I actually fell in line with the troubles and intrapersonal turmoil of the characters. I wanted to help them, I was engaged.

Ok, so the description is less than stellar but I am not familiar with marketing in this genre so I do not know the expectations of presentation. I peered into this book anyway and was hooked.
The origin story of this character was great, and I was impressed with Foster's detail when describing the hero's superpowers. The personality is kind of like Peter Parker in high school but we don't stay in that environment long. Zach's powers are unique and Foster offers enough believable explanation for the reader to understand as far as the physics go. For all I know, the writer knows what he is talking about.
This fight scenes in this book were awesome. Not too much, not too little, and the timeframe between action verses drama was balanced. I had a feeling that the author was the dungeon master, and the way he allowed the action scenes to take place was almost turn based.
I did like the ending, but I didn't like the Epilogue. I could use 3 whole books with Repulsor finding his way instead of introducing the new (and then again, not new) character but I do understand why the author made HIS decision and where he could be going with the opposite archetype.
Digital Layout: Perfect. read it on Samsung phone, Kindle Fire and Desktop.
Cover: Cool
Editing: Great
Writing: Smooth and easy. The author's go to words bothered me by the end, the ever present "crap" and "freaking" and I could use better character names besides "Bob" and "Amber" but oh well.

This would be good among late-teens and anyone who likes visual, movie like descriptions and action, a staple in the genre. I identified with the main character and his silly jokes.

I do recommend that anyone reading this checks out the short prequel Repulsive Origins - The Captain: A Short Story either before or after. In my case, after. This gave a lot more info on how the superheroes are made.

I would like to see Repulsor and would, more importantly, buy more Repulsor books if I could watch him turn from squeamish boy hero to seasoned pro. We caught a glimpse of this character growth with every battle and I want to see him as a man.

I will also be willing to read more by Brian W. Foster and more from this genre as it is intriguing.

Very unique and interesting

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018

With a very unique power set the repulsor (aptly named) jumps into the world of villains and hero’s. And is met with several moral dilemma and a love triangle. I always love it when there are consequences in stories for people’s abilities and I don’t think I can name many that did those consequences as well as this story. And showing a greater power pulling the strings for an unknown reason, I cannot wait to see where this series goes.

The next era of superheroes. Conversion can and does happen to the most unlikely people. Zach hopes beyond all hope that he will be one of the lucky ones chosen for conversion. Then when he is, he finds that his powers are not quite what he expected. Will Hayli give him the time of day or will she be repulsed by his looks and his powers? Stay tuned for the new age of heroes. Enjoy!

I made the decision to do so of my own volition because I enjoyed the book

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2016

I didn't realize this was a teen book when I downloaded it. Since I don't read a lot of YA, I was pleasantly surprised by the caliber of this story. The reluctant protagonist had just the right amount of teen angst for an underdeveloped, bullied young man. He complained, but he didn't get too angry, whiny, or indecisive. In other words, I didn't have the urge to shake him. For someone recently blessed (or cursed) with superpowers, he makes the adaptation quite well. The writing is sound, and so is the editing. The characters were different enough to be interesting. If your into superheroes, give this one a try.

I did receive this book free but was under no obligation to provide a review. I made the decision to do so of my own volition because I enjoyed the book.

I downloaded this book because...well...he's my uncle. I read a little bit of it a while back, but I never finished it. Well, I just sat up all night and read the entire book. I couldn't put it down. I'm making sure everyone reads this. Fan freaking tastic!
