Synopsis

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.

The infodumpy conversations are......more

Goodreads review by Nicky

I got this to review at some point, but I also bought a copy… a fact which I now regret. Okay, there’s a lot of cool things about it: female Asian protagonists who kick ass in different ways, a casually queer character, bitey flying cupcakes, the main character talks frankly about anxiety… And for q......more

Goodreads review by CW ✨

I wish I had this book when I was a teen. This book is bloody fantastic. - ASIAN!!! SUPERHEROINES!!! - I loved how fun this book was. Nothing wholly serious, though there are some very serious moments, but it was just so entertaining. I haven't had so much fun reading in awhile. - In between solving d......more

Goodreads review by Charlie

This book is so much fun. It's a really neat take on the superhero/sidekick relationship -- first of all, there's a whole Devil Wears Prada thing where the sidekick is sort of the bullied personal assistant to a Type A personality hero who wants everything to be Perfect. But then you find out they w......more
