5.0 out of 5 stars Final book in a Trilogy that is Divine, love, love, love it!
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
Oh my, what an absolutely fantastic book. This is the third book in a trilogy. The trilogy is about West, a spoiled billionaire living his life as if nothing and nobody matters. Until he meets Cordelia, who he hired as his personal assistant. No, this is not one of those love at first site billionaire romance books that I see often (and also enjoy). This trilogy has depth, a lot of character development, a fantastic storyline that develops quickly, evolves, and is fully realized over the three books. The book has good guys and bad guys and in between guys that become good or bad and it has real life superheroes. No, this is not a paranormal romance per se, but is has some amazing things that you will love. And the ending was not what I would have predicted. It was perfect. But I hope a couple of the secondary characters like Dalton and Mallory and Jess get their own story. I loved those characters and want to see what becomes of them.

Great ending to this trilogy. I couldn't wait to read this book and find out would West and Cord really get a chance to fall in love, what happens to Jess and would West's luck run with all the enhancements to his body. I love how the story weaves us into such a man's life. We first met West when he as nothing but money and see him grow into a lovable man who had truly changed. Cordelia waits for West and they have one of the most romantic love scene in the book. Loved seeing how Jess's life unfolds and how she truly grew as a character. Loved this book and you must read the entire series!

I was given and ARC for an honest review.

Highly entertaining and satisfying fun. An excellent conclusion to this series. All three were extremely well done stories captivating this audience into hoping for more. Maybe Dalton deserves his own happy ending while giving us updates of the main characters of these three books, eh Ms Black?

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2015

I'm blown away by the conclusion to the Building a Hero series. There's action, drama, and some emotional moments.

One of my favorite parts of Tasha Black's writing is the emotional development of her characters. Everyone learns something about themselves and others in this final installment, but West's growth is really great and definitely added a lot to the book.

I really hope that there's more in Glacier City. I've enjoyed my stay there, and I'm not quite ready to leave!

I have just finished reading all 3 books in this series, and I confess to being blown away. I have read many of Ms. Black's books, but these 3 may well be my favorites. The concepts here are becoming feasible, and that makes it even more of an enjoyable read. I ran the gamut of emotions on these books from anger to tears.

I loved this trilogy. The stories were great with the rich spoiled man. with the devastatingly lost legs an arm and eye was still alive. Start a whole new life. I was kind of sad that he ended up with less with the title of upgrading. It would of been nice to be better then before.

I loved this trilogy. Different from Tasha Black's usual paranormal books, but without a doubt superb as I would expect. The trials and twists of Cordelia and West's story were totally gripping and demanded to be read. Their friends became more like family, and their enemies were vanquished. Definitely worthy of 5 stars and highly recommended.

I got part 1of this trilogy as a free book after signing up to follow Tasha Black and was immediately hooked. The story was well written and had descriptive detail and humour. The references to well known hero's and tv characters intrigued and amused me as the characters developed. I was so hooked i immediately purchased books 2and 3. Brilliant story with just the right amount of believability. Thank you Tasha

West & Cordelia's story continues into a third book with the same pace and thrills of the first two. The story is very well written and leaves you begging for more. 'Upgraded' flows through the emotional difficult times of West & Cordelia's life with the exciting backdrop of a city in turmoil with two opposing fractions fighting for control. Surely it can't end here Tasha? There must be a book 4 somewhere in the wings?
