Coming October 31st, this Halloween, from fledgling publisher Critical Blast, and debut author Stephen J. Mitchell, the story of a new costumed hero will be available in hardcover on Amazon and other online book retailers. Help spread the word about this fantastic, young adult adventure that has been called “pure fun” by author RJ Carter (“The Destroyer” series).
BULLETPROOF: ORIGINS features a story of Kody Haywood, a young high school student who discovers he has a special ability. Unfortunately, as most teens are, he is too wrapped up in his own life to care about what’s happening around him. As Kody goes through his journey of self-discovery, he is faced with a much bigger, looming threat. “Bulletproof: Origins” is a fast-paced, action-comedy, featuring a “sub-par” hero whose mind and heart aren’t always in sync.
Featuring a teen hero that most young boys can relate to, BULLETPROOF: ORIGINS is a YA Adventure for the youth of today that are often distracted and seek instant gratification. Information is repeated for those minds that wander so they don’t feel lost after setting the book down. In today’s world, younger readers have a lot of other things to occupy their time between smartphone apps and video games. BULLETPROOF: ORIGINS always has something going on in such a way that it doesn’t slow down and drag with boring dialogue. The main character, Kody Haywood, is a relatable teen that sees the world through the eyes of most young readers and is highlighted by his quote: “Real life is so stupid”.
Most kids today are looking for an adventurous escape from the stresses and drama of life, school, and social media. BULLETPROOF: ORIGINS is the introduction to a character that understands how today’s youth feels, as he navigates through high school. Dealing with a bully and a friend that he has unexplained feelings for, Kody Haywood’s story is character-driven, cloaked as a superhero origin story.
You’ll relate, you’ll laugh, and you’ll cheer as BULLETPROOF becomes your new favorite “sub-par” hero!
