Haunted Heroine by Sarah Kuhn

Spoiler warning! This is the fourth novel in the series Heroine Complex and this review may contain spoilers for earlier books in the series. I suspect it will also be a lot more satisfying for someone who’s read the preceding three books. Begin with Heroine Complex.    Official book description: Everything in Evie Tanaka’s life is finally perfect. As a badass superheroine, she defends San Francisco from demon invasion on the regular. Her relationships with superhero partner Aveda Jupiter, little sister Bea, and hot, half-demon husband Nate have […]

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 […]

The fact that she had sheet-cake frosting smudged on the corner of her mouth did nothing to diminish her authority

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, […]
