Unsung Heroine by Sarah Kuhn

by Leave a Comment

Official book description: Lucy Valdez is many things: fight trainer/bodyguard to superheroines, fabulous vintage fashion plate, undisputed karaoke queen at local joint, The Gutter. She is also one of the toughest fighters in all of San Francisco without superpowers. So why can’t she seem to confess her feelings to her longtime crush Rose Rorick, head of the San Francisco Police Department’s Demon Unit? Well…. actually, she knows why. She’s afraid Rose won’t like the real Lucy, the Lucy underneath all the fabulous bravado. (She is […]

Heroine's Journey by Sarah Kuhn

by Leave a Comment

I read the first two novels in this trilogy last year and really enjoyed them.  They have a very comic book feel, focusing on romantic heroines with superpowers.  Many of the scenes are ridiculously over the top but entertaining (such as possessed wedding dresses and armies of angry brides).  This novel is set a few years after the original two which took place within a short amount of each other.  This is due to the fact that this novel follows Bea Tanaka, the younger sister […]

Unsung Heroine by Sarah Kuhn

I have been reading but not reviewing Sarah Kuhn’s Heroine Complex series. I was very happy to get an ARC of Unsung Heroine from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. At some point I will review the three previous books – Heroine Complex, Heroine Worship, and Heroine’s Journey. I will say now that they are fun books, and you should definitely read them before picking up this novella. Unsung Heroine focuses on Lucy Valdez, the bodyguard with no superpowers, but awesome fighting skills, a killer fashion sense, […]

SPOILER WARNING! As I’m reviewing all three books in a trilogy, it’s going to be difficult for me to discuss the books without minor spoilers, especially in books 2 and 3, as they naturally follow on from and develop stuff that’s gone before in the series. So if you want to approach this series entirely spoiler free – you may just want to read the synopsis for book 1. #CBR10Bingo: Heroine Complex: So it begins Heroine Complex – 4.5 stars Evie Tanaka is the long-suffering and ever patient personal assistant […]

A reluctant superheroine

by Leave a Comment

Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn was fantastic! This is the first novel in a new series about Evie Tanaka, personal assistant and best friend to San Francisco’s number #1 superheroine, Aveda Jupiter. They have been BFFs since they were kids when Aveda was only Annie Chang. They were obsessed with a Michelle Yeoh action flick, “The Heroic Trio”, where martial arts heroes battled The Evil Master. It inspired Aveda to become a hero in real life even before a demonic portal opened up in the […]
