Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn (July 5, 2016 by DAW)
You can’t just dangle a superhero book in front of my nose without expecting me to bite, especially one that looks this fun. I’m getting vibes that remind me a bit of The Devil Wears Prada meets The Incredibles, and for once it’s nice to look forward to a story about quirky superheroine.
“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 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.”

Totally sounds like fun! Is this a graphic novel? In any case, I’m a huge fan of the Devil Waters Prada, so sign me up!

I would never have imagined that super-heroines needed personal assistants, but this one sounds amazing. Not to mention that the words “supernatural karaoke battles” are beyond intriguing… 😀

Haha! The karaoke battles caught my attention too 🙂

I’ve finally caved and registered on goodreads just so I can keep track of the upcoming releases I want to read. I’m excited that there are two fantasy novels featuring Asian-American heroines out this year, the other being Not Your Sidekick (also set in a superhero world, although she apparently doesn’t have powers, according to the blurb). That isn’t out til September, so at least Heroine Complex will be ready to meet my eyeballs a few months sooner! 😀

Agreed! Yes to more Asian-American heroes and heroines! I have to go check out that other book now 🙂

It’s funny that it’s the flip side of this book – instead of a PA to a superhero, the protagonist in Not Your Sidekick (by C B Lee, since if you google the title, it comes up with the hashtag movement) is an intern to a supervillain, lol.

Thanks, found it on Goodreads! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29904219-not-your-sidekick
That is actually really cool! It’s like I have to pick up both now, so that they will complement each other 🙂
