Hawthorne hints at a world in which there are “sleepers”-those without powers and, therefore, dangerous to those with them-and the “awakened”-those with varying degrees of gifting and skills-the author never fully fleshes out what this world is like or what other super powers may exist within it.
Today, I begin with Equilibrium and the story surrounding Sam and Hansen, two “awakened” and gifted men. It is my delight this week to review the five novels currently in Katey Hawthorne’s Superpowered love series. Will it consume Sam or Hansen? Or will an outside force bent on their destruction intervene before the spark can burst into flame?
However, much like electricity, love sparks at the unlikeliest of times, and once set aflame can rarely be contained. Sam, on the other hand, is involved with his current girl and seemingly is not interest in dallying with the opposite sex. Review Hansen is gay and secretly in love with Sam. They’ll have to save each other, both from the haters and from their own fears, if they want to maintain equilibrium. Just as their nights are heating up, it becomes clear Sam’s electrical explosion was seen, and now someone has it in for both of them. Sam doesn’t really like guys, he’s just feeling vulnerable…right? Even after they give in, Hansen is afraid to admit he’s in love.
While dealing with the fallout, Sam’s emotional dependency on Hansen forces their mutual attraction to the surface. When Sam’s electrical powers freak out in public, Hansen has a sinking feeling they’ve been spotted by unfriendly eyes.
