When a sick child's hero is a villain, can dreams still come true?

Fighting crime is great, but superheroine Nixie's dream job is helping sick kids meet or even become superheroes through her work with the Dream Granter Foundation. However, when a young boy requests to meet not a superhero, but the notorious villain Switch, this may be one dream that turns into a nightmare.

On the run since high school, Switch is now at the top of his supervillain game. Between shaking down crime bosses for their ill-gotten wealth and playing cat-and-mouse with the local superhero team, life is exactly what he wants it to be ... Until his favorite heroine to fight comes to him with an unusual offer. How can he say no to a sick kid? After all, he's a villain, not a monster.

Switch's enemies on both sides of the hero/villain divide make a simple meet and greet hazardous to both his and Nixie's health. To his chagrin, Switch finds himself admiring his new hero partner, even if her faith in the system is mind-bogglingly unwavering. As they work together, dodging villain attacks and angry phone calls from Nixie's boss, she's surprised by how "human" this particular villain is.

Just when she's beginning to think this dream could come true after all, a secret from Switch's past casts a shadow over their plans. Can Switch free himself from his demons long enough to make a kid's wish come true?

Wishing on a Supervillain is a standalone novel set in the world of the Supervillain Rehabilitation Project.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Super" fun!

I knew I was going to like this one. I just didn't know how much.

Switch is such a fun supervillain, and despite the often poorly timed humor that he exhibits, there's a level of serious and introspective to him that makes his arc incredibly believable.

And Nixie is just the sweetest thing ever. I love how Burke created a character who was extremely innocent (naive, the world might call her) and managed to portray that as a strength. The world needs more heroes like Nixie: strong because of their wide-eyed innocence.

Oliver is just the dearest bean. I love him to bits and want to hug him.

Another "super" fun romp through this world that I have grown to love visiting.

This kindle e-book novella is from my Kindle Unlimited account book 4 of 4.

Another series completed, book 1 March of2023.

A great ending to the series. A Superhero is helping a Super villain clean up his act. This novella is full of action, misdirection, and violence leading to a happy ending.

I would recommend this series and others by this author to readers of romantic relationships adventure mystery novels. 👒😀🎎😘

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun

Not the strongest of the SVR series overall, but this one definitely had plenty of good moments! The storyline reminded me of the "Villain Wrangler" story prompt on Tumblr (if anyone knows what I'm talking about), though that's likely pure coincidence.

Probably the weakest part of the story for me was that I didn't fully buy Switch as a villain. Yes, he starts off the series with a robbery and he has plenty of history that make his path to villainy understandable, but he was so immediately willing to work with Nixie on the wish granting thing, despite all his claims of "trust issues" with DOSA.

The chemistry between him and Nixie was good, it was easy to see them as an eventual couple, though the timeline felt rushed. Recognizing that you have feelings for someone is one thing, but declaring love after a week? That part felt a little too Hallmark to me. (Though, in fairness, this is a series that has intentionally gone for that vibe before, so if it's what you're expecting/hoping for, you'll be well pleased!)

This is still a good installment in the SVR series, even if it's not my person favorite. There's a lot of potential for the characters, though, so I look forward to seeing them in future books!

The story is brilliant and the perfect mix of hallmark romance and superhero story. I love how genuine Nixie is, and I really felt for Switch's struggles. Oliver is such a great kid, and his parents are so understanding (I have to wonder if they suspected the reason that he wanted to meet Switch for his wish). The last few chapters had me crying multiple times.

Also, shout out to KC for being a fun side character! His lawyer disguise would not have gotten past me! Lol.

I got a chance to read this before it was officially out, in 2023! I absolutely loved Switch and Nixie and Oliver. I enjoyed the twist on the "make a wish" when Nixie gets asked to help a little boy meet his super... villain... It was so fun. I loved watching things unfold, and the entire moment of Nixie having a "what happened last night?!" convo had me rolling with laughter. I can't wait to reread it / read it "for real" now that I have my paperwork copy AND my kindle version!!

My favorite of the series so far! Switch's villain backstory is very convincing. I liked Nixie's wholesomeness and naivete. The two of them worked really well for me.
I loved how they got to use their powers together a couple of times. The science stuff was cool, too. Though I guessed some of the plot elements, the story had humor, action, excitement, and plenty of tension, so I didn’t have to be surprised to enjoy the ride. Oliver and his parents were genuine and believable. A fun, enjoyable read. Some cursing, references to drug use and overdose, torture by drug injection

This is a great story! I thought I knew where it was going, but it totally surprised me. I definitely recommend it! Though it's part of a series, it can stand on its own just fine, so no worries if you haven't read any of the others.
