Download or read book A Genie Ruins Everything written by Martina Fetzer and published by Befuddling Books. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenomenal Cosmic Power...Itty Bitty Moral Compass With paranormal activity at an all-time high, Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith decide to stop working for others and form their own paranormal detective agency. They're not the only ones. The market is saturated, and they struggle to find even a single client. That changes following a chance encounter with a genie that doesn't grant wishes so much as do whatever the hell it wants. The detectives' reality is completely upended—for better and worse. Better for them. Worse for the world. Brooks and Smith have to set things right, but their attempts at doing so are complicated by a genie-thieving venture capitalist, self-sabotage, and a newer, stupider detective in town. Some wishes really can’t come true. About the Series From the mind of award-winning author* Martina Fetzer, the Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. *1996, 1997, 1998 Oakview Elementary Perfect Attendance Award

Book excerpt: Superheroes aren't born. They're created for PR. Godwin Zane (aka. Monochrome) thinks he's a hero. The press disagree. When an enormous rift in time and space opened over Manhattan, Zane used his magma powers to melt the machine generating it and save millions of lives. Unfortunately, he's an asshole. The rift opening over Zane Tower was all the proof Americans needed to blame him for the incident. In order to clear his name and prove himself a hero once and for all, Zane forms a superhero team called the Bedazzlers. The other Bedazzlers are all being either bribed or blackmailed, and they hate him. But they'll have to overcome that if they're going to save a world facing extreme traffic, sea monsters, and a shortage of Hamilton tickets... More About the Book The Bedazzlers is a superhero parody. It's absurd, it's deranged, and it's very much written for adults.
