Anti-Heroes Series by Megan Derr

Karl leads a quiet life—quieter than he wants, especially since getting into a fight with one of the most powerful men in the city—but it could be worse. In a city where super heroes and villains can level a city block in a moment, it's a good day when nothing is destroyed, especially for the man who sells super hero insurance. After yet another date stands him up, Karl heads home for another night spent reading with only his cats for company... moreKarl leads a quiet life—quieter than he wants, especially since getting into a fight with one of the most powerful men in the city—but it could be worse. In a city where super heroes and villains can level a city block in a moment, it's a good day when nothing is destroyed, especially for the man who sells super hero insurance. After yet another date stands him up, Karl heads home for another night spent reading with only his cats for company. But a strange sound at the bus stop leads him to a shocking discovery: Trick of the Light, a notorious villain in possession of an impossible power, and currently the intense focus of a man hunt by the Grand Order of Defenders. But Karl has never had much respect for the Order and its arrogant, cavalier super heroes. Whatever the risks, he'd much rather spend the night helping a villain, especially since once Trick is well enough to move Karl will probably never see him again… less

Dixie is a man adrift, picking away at the evildoings of the Grand Order of Defenders and the DeVine Corporation wherever he's able. But none of it is what he really wants, and what he wants is out of reach. Then a notorious thief crosses his path, a man with abilities that might make all the difference. With his help, Dixie can at long last return to face the people that destroyed his whole world and return that destruction tenfold.

Then his own reputation led to a friend paying the price, and he'll do anything to get her back.Even if it means breaking all his rules to align himself with exactly the kind of troublemakers he'd always avoided as strenuously as he's avoided the G.O.D. Even if it means sharing space with Byron Valentine, the beautiful, mysterious leader of the group fighting to destroy the G.O.D., a man who makes Leland wish he could have the normal life his own abilities have always denied him. less

Oberon's story is the same as all the other Anti-Heroes: people important to her were killed by the G.O.D., and she wants them stopped. More than anything, Oberon wants herself. Himself. Themself. She's taken on so many forms since her life was destroyed that she can't remember the face she was born with, and the G.O.D. long ago erased all evidence she ever existed in the first place.If a picture exists anywhere, it's deep within G.O.D. headquarters... moreOberon's story is the same as all the other Anti-Heroes: people important to her were killed by the G.O.D., and she wants them stopped.

Getting to it is another matter entirely, but with the G.O.D. in shambles after the Anti-Heroes' latest attacks, her moment has finally arrived.She expected it to be a solo mission, though, not a joint venture with the most aggravating person on the planet. Oberon has policies about how close she gets to anyone. The Anti-Heroes are colleagues, not friends. She has no family. And she wants absolutely nothing to do with the infuriating Scones. less
