365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #129: Heroine Complex

I'm sure at some point the superhero craze will die down but as a comic book fan it's nice that the world of comics and superheroes are finally being appreciated. Yet I know it won't last long, sooner or later a new craze or trend will take over so until then I'm just going to sit back and enjoy.

The cover for this book caught my eye but it's the description that really made me interested in reading it. Will the assistant prove that she's a hero?



Book: Heroine Complex (Heroine Complex book #1) by Sarah Kuhn

Publication: July 5, 2016

Description:

Being a superheroine is hard. Working for one is even harder.

Evie Tanaka is the put-upon personal assistant to Aveda Jupiter, her childhood best friend and San Francisco’s most beloved superheroine. 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.

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.

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. 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. 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.
