They had one choice…

…lie or become lab rats.

It was supposed to be an uneventful camping trip before the start of another grueling year in high school. Days later, when the enigmatic agent Victor Kraze confronts Quinn and Blake, they realize they must never speak about what they found in the woods.

But now, something is different. Why are the basic elements unpredictably reacting to Quinn and Blake at home and in school? What changed?

What really happened in the woods?

They need help, but they don't have much time. Can the boys discover the key to controlling their self-proclaimed superpowers before they accidentally hurt someone they love? Before the nosy and relentless Agent Kraze changes his mind?

ACCIDENTAL AWAKENING is the first book of The Guardian Series and is part of the Spekter Superhero Universe.

About the Author

Damien's mind is a magical and nerdy place where fantastic heroes defend amazing worlds from dangerous villains who run amuck in an epic struggle to take over the universe. Recently, the brightest and best from this colorful cast of characters have made their way into notes, plots, stories, and novels for you to read and enjoy.

Damien strongly believes the real world we live in should be a place where LGBTQIA equality and respect are second nature and never questioned. When he's not working or spending time with his husband and their dog, Damien weaves this philosophy into the exciting lives of his characters and the fantastic space battles and romances they endure so they'll stop taking over his dreams at night.

And finally, he wants you to remember a very important thing: No matter how bad your day is at work, it's always important to be grateful that you don't work for a Sith Lord.

be they good or evil

"Accidental Awakening" is clearly a coming-of-age book where the teenagers suffer typical drama that comes with school, hardship and identity crisis. During that time, a person of that age would be troubled with nothing but the normal Life has to offer. This one comes with a superhero twist that allows one the opportunity to find themselves in the process, be they good or evil. A wedge between two best friends on a supernatural level is similar to Spiderman with Harry. It is interesting to see what the second book has to show.

I liked the story- interesting, but I felt the characterizations were lacking. Thank you for your work, though...on to check out Book Two.

A really great and fun take on the superhero tale. Seeing the two best friends starting out together and taking different paths was really interesting. Looking forward to reading the rest.

Exciting first in the series

I’m hooked! So excited to hear it’s a 5 book series. The author has created a great story with good character evolution and just enough hints along the way that make one really curious about what’s next. It’s great to see a gay protagonist with more on his agenda than figuring out his sexuality. This pushes the envelope and makes me excited for where LGBT teen fiction is headed.

High School students, best friends...now Superheroes

This is the first book in the series and sets us up for exciting adventures in a twist on the superhero genre. This origin story, set in Portsmouth, NH, paves the way for what promises to be much more action in the future for two high school students and best friends, Quinn and Blake.

maybe for teenage liberals that speak in text, otherwise avoid this

i want to start by saying I could not finish the book, or even get to a real starting point if it had one. the main character is gay and his friend seems gay but it hasn't said it yet, and most of the first 10% of the book seems to be describing the relationship between one characters dads. I don't mind so much that they decided to have a gay leading role but that's all the book has talked about up to the point I quit reading, that and descriptions of what people are wearing. I stopped after one of there friends was described as looking "fierce as usual" and they told the other friend "O.M.G. gurl, love your hair." Really... speaking in text abbreviation. unfortunately I know this is a thing since I encountered it in college, but I don't want a main character to do it. it makes them sound stupid and then I cant respect them.

If you like superhero comics and movies you should give this story a chance.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2018

I received an ARC from the author and have voluntarily reviewed this book.

Accidental Awakening by Damien Benoit-Ledoux is the first book in his Guardians series. This book is a young adult, coming-of-age, superhero origin story. It is written in third-person and is told from two sixteen-year-old best friends' perspectives, Quinn and Blake. Quinn has a happy home life, his two dads love each other and him, he enjoys school and knows what he wants to do with his life. Blake has two alcoholic parents who are always fighting and seem to care more about drinking then they do him, and he has no idea what he wants to do with his life other than getting away from home when he turns eighteen. When the two best friends go on a camping the trip they stumble upon a strange cave and end up becoming infused with an unknown energy source that leaves them with startling abilities.

This book was an entertaining read, was easy to follow, and had a nice flow to it. I never found myself bored while reading, and was very interested in finding out what was going to happen next. Both of the main characters are interesting and likable, especially if you're a bit of a geek. There are a lot of references to things like Star Wars, Star Trek and comics like the X-men. I really liked all the references and felt like these two guys would fit right in with my friends and me. If you like superhero comics and movies you should give this story a chance.

This book ends by setting up the next in the series and will leave you wanting to read the next one.

This is the start of a series that is fun to read.Sixteen year old best friends Quinn and Blake are zapped with some kind of energy beam and find they have developed super powers.Quinn is gay with two gay dads while Blake's father is an abusive alcoholic. I've enjoyed the series so far and recommend it.
