The great thing about Fred the Vampire Accountant is that being an accountant is extremely relevant to his life. It's not like "Here's the adventures of Fred and also his job is accounting"; the accounting plays a very important role in his life and decisions. A decent chunk of text is dedicated to talking about the accounting business he started and how his adventures interfere with his job. He saved the most powerful dragon in America money on his taxes. He loves spreadsheets.

pov book edition

so, I don't really know how this website works and I ain't gonna try to find out, but here's a funny POV for you!

So you decided to visit a little local business fair in your area for whatever reason. You're having fun, going through cool goods stands, and then you find yourself in a section of the con where all the accounting people and lawyers are. Most of them look completely normal, but one draws your eye. It's this modest accounting stand for a place you've heard some pretty good things about, and there are 2 men and a woman in the booth. The first one is this pretty forgettable guy, brown hair, kinda pale, glasses with a sweater vest and khakis, and the woman is also kinda pale, but she looks kinda statley with her carefully braided black hair and pants suit. But the other dude? He's this MASSIVE guy, like you would not be surprised if you looked up bodybuilding bulk and this dude's pic came up. He has this lion's mane of golden hair, and this dude who has absolutely NO business in an accounting stand is, well, not shouting, more like speaking loudly, saying stuff like: "Fear not, small people! Come forth and listen to the great works of Fred and his accounting firm!"

Eh, that's probably bad but 🤷‍♀️

I feel like there are just some authors that should get more attention. And by some authors I mean Drew Hayes. Please for the love of an entity check out his books.

"Had the gods taken me in that moment, there would have been no heaven that could have equalled my joy. Then, as always happens, the tab came due."

x. "NPCs", Drew Hayes

"All plans eventually fell apart, it was in their nature. Reality never complied with expectations, and one who expected plans to be pulled off perfectly was often overtook when chaos exceeded order."

x. "Split The Party", Drew Hayes

"You can teach technique. You can build muscle. You can train reflexes. But that kind of stubbornness comes from the soul."

x. "Going Rogue", Drew Hayes

"Try not to dwell on it... not because it doesn't matter, but because you'll never find the answers you need inside your own head. Our minds memories cannot be trusted; spend too long in there trying to find a memory that doesn't exist and you'll end up creating it. Imagination is a powerful thing-- especially when combined with uncertainty and selfdoubt. I've seen others build their own hells around them, with the fears of what they might have done."

x. "Siege Tactics", Drew Hayes

"Luck wasn't necessarily against them; they'd come out of far too many dire scrapes to believe such a thing. But theirs was not a luck that often put their feet on an easy path. Theirs was more a fortune of narrow misses and critical strikes."

x. "Nobel Roots", Drew Hayes

ok so camille can absorb pain and that would include cramps right? so being the angel she is she’d help out her girlies when they’re suffering but since she can also give back the pain I’m picturing them all at one of the parties and it somehow comes up and bc boys they’re like ‘nah it can’t be that bad’ and the girls are like ‘oh wanna bet’ and then they do the ‘men try a period simulator’ trend only it’s for real-sies

In my latest of book trades with my brother, he's finishing up Mistborn with The Lost Metal while I'm catching up on the Villains' Code series with

Bones of the Past

And not to be a "guy who's only seen Boss Baby" about this but I get some heavy Worm vibes from this series. Girl who gets super powers and ends up working with villains due partly to circumstances outside her control, but mostly due to her own choices. Moral ambiguity asking questions about if the villains are really worse people than the heroes. And hell, they use the term "capes" to refer to powered people, which I haven't seen anywhere else outside of Worm.

This being the second book in the series, it really works to test the lines between hero and villain. Tori, our main character, I don't think she commits a single crime in this book. But what keeps her squarely in the villain camp is her attitude. She kills and orders the deaths of a not-insignificant number of people in self-defense; while on the flip side, the heroes focused on in the book are actively training to tone down the casualties when they're stopping crime. And of course, the final showdown ends with heroes and villains working together to stop a greater threat, as in the previous book. almost like that's a theme or something

This book also does a lot more to play with the idea of secret identities than I've seen elsewhere, which was a lot of fun to read. After the last book Tori had one out-of-costume friend who joined the hero's side. In this book she not only gets to know his team, but is introduced to a new squad of heroes that she meets and befriends. Watching her get to know and care about people that she may have to fight the next day introduced some interesting conflict.

The worldbuilding feels very comic-booky, which took me out of it a bit in the first book (what do you mean one organization controls all super-powered crime in the world???), and I don't really agree with one or two of the larger themes (don't really like what you're saying about punitive justice so far, Mr Hayes), but aside from that it was a really fun read. Feels like the kind of series that should have a much larger fandom than it does (only one result on AO3? Seriously?). Would give it a thumbs up, especially if you're a fan of

large casts of super heroes with unique powers

side characters that are interesting enough that they should have their own novels

unlikely allies who have to work together

Superman being a genuinely nice person to talk to

worldhoppers that know too much, stir shit up, and leave

the kind of villains that would name themselves Johnny Three-Dicks or Captain Bullshit

I might have to pick up some of Drew Hayes's other stories to check out after this. His Super Powereds series sounds like it could be fun while I'm on this superhero kick, but that's his only series that my brother doesn't have in person for me to borrow, thus slightly inconveniencing me.
