Ever since a failed demonic invasion eight years ago, some San Franciscans have had extremely minor supernatural abilities. Evie and Aveda have been friends since middle school (not that anyone is supposed to know that version of the story). In other words, this book didn’t just miss the mark it didn’t even get on the board.Ĭontent warning in this book, and discussion in my review, for acemisia.Įvie Tanaka is the personal assistant to Aveda Jupiter, San Francisco’s exclusive demon ass-kicker and superhero. Heroine Complex has a lot of interesting ideas, but I just didn’t enjoy Sarah Kuhn’s plotting, characterization, or writing style. Alas, that excitement didn’t long survive contact with the actual pages. And when a larger threat emerges, Evie must finally take charge and become a superheroine in her own right.or see her city fall to a full-on demonic invasion.I was amped for this book from the first I heard about it. Now it’s up to her to contend with murderous cupcakes, nosy gossip bloggers, and supernatural karaoke battles-all while juggling unexpected romance and Aveda’s increasingly outrageous demands.
But everything changes when Evie’s forced to pose as her glamorous boss for one night, and her darkest secret comes out: she has powers, too. Unfortunately, she’s not nearly as together when it comes to running her own life, standing up for herself, or raising her tempestuous teenage sister, Bea. She’s great at her job-blending into the background, handling her boss’s epic diva tantrums, and getting demon blood out of leather pants. Evie Tanaka is the put-upon personal assistant to Aveda Jupiter, her childhood best friend and San Francisco’s most beloved superheroine. Asian American superheroines Evie Tanaka and Aveda Jupiter protect San Francisco from perilous threats in the first book in this snarky and smart urban fantasy series Being a superheroine is hard. Working for one is even harder.
