Alex Fry (Beams) has a great life. He's a famous sidekick, works for one of the best superheroes in the world, and is even dating the girl of his dreams. While Alex can't publicly accept the praise and accolades his sidekick persona receives from fans, his life is good nonetheless.

That is, until he becomes the target of the most infamous assassin in the world, whose presence in Golden City forces him to go on the run. Even with the arrival of a new superhero to protect him, Alex's life is still turned upside down, forcing him to remain in hiding to avoid getting killed.

Now Alex must catch the assassin before the assassin finds him. If Alex fails to defeat the assassin, then everything he's worked for will collapse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good series for younger readers

Enjoyed first two books look forward to future adventures. Think it took a little too late no for Beams to blast the good rod to safety!

4.0 out of 5 stars a great read
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
The Minimum Wage Sidekick series interests me simply because the main character "Beams" isn't a Superman-like character, or a Batman-like character, or someone with enhanced psychic abilities. Usually that's what you see in these books, like the character Bolt from the Superhero's Son series of books (which I don't hate by any means). Beams is an interesting character simply because his only power is energy optic blasts. He's an interesting character and I like that he's a sidekick to someone who can stretch and reshape himself. Usually the sidekick has the same powers as the mentor (Batman/Robin, Flash/Kid Flash, Wonder Woman/Wonder Girl, etc.). I like that they have completely different powers. It's a great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ho,Hum discoveries in a ho-hum tale

There was a big "reveal" that was clearly meant to be a twist. I won't say more, because that probably already spoiled this tale for some readers, but that was the one thing that stuck with me after I finished reading.

and that left me just... unimpressed and more than a bit bored with the tale. I do like superhero tales to a point, but this one failed to excite me and I have been very unwilling to pick up more books by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars First Date
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017
This series deserves more reviews. I've just read all five books currently out. All are well written and flow smoothly. Suitable for teens upwards. Much better quality writing than 80% of the Kindle writers of this genre out there.
