What do you do when your powers suck? Ethan Wright doesn't have super strength. He can't fly. Hell, he can barely do his own laundry. He can, however, be in exactly the right spot at exactly the right time, which warrants a sidekick status and an alter ego of spandex-clad Mr. Dependable. Samantha Porter wishes she could do more for her city, but the ability to hover an inch above the ground is only good for sneaking out of the house without being heard. For now, she stays behind her hero as her alter ego Hush and forms clubs in her spare time. Emily Peters, aka Phase can walk through walls, but she's not the typical kind of sidekick. She's been blackmailed by a villain and is forced to be his sidekick. She never wanted to help her villain, and she'll do whatever it takes to escape him. Join these unlikely heroes and their fellow sidekicks in "The Sidekick Club" to see how they navigate the world of heroes and villains. *Spontaneous updates* *Started - 7/5/17* *The Ranking Pillar* •July 17, 2017 - Breached the top 500 in Action •July 19, 2017 - Breached the top 400 in Action

When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure
