Description
Asian American superheroines Evie Tanaka and Aveda Jupiter protect San Francisco from perilous threats in the second book in this snarky and smart fantasy series
Once upon a time, Aveda Jupiter (aka Annie Chang) was demon-infested San Francisco’s most beloved superheroine, a beacon of hope and strength and really awesome outfits. But all that changed the day she agreed to share the spotlight with her best friend and former assistant Evie Tanaka—who’s now a badass, fire-wielding superheroine in her own right. They were supposed to be a dynamic duo, but more and more, Aveda finds herself shoved into the sidekick role. Where, it must be said, she is not at all comfortable.
It doesn’t help that Aveda’s finally being forced to deal with fallout from her diva behavior—and the fact that she’s been a less than stellar friend to Evie. Or that Scott Cameron—the man Aveda’s loved for nearly a decade—is suddenly giving her the cold shoulder after what seemed to be some promising steps toward friendship. Or that the city has been demon-free for three months in the wake of Evie and Aveda’s apocalypse-preventing battle against the evil forces of the Otherworld, leaving Aveda without the one thing she craves most in life: a mission.
All of this is causing Aveda’s burning sense of heroic purpose—the thing that’s guided her all these years—to falter.
In short, Aveda Jupiter is having an identity crisis.
When Evie gets engaged and drafts Aveda as her maid-of-honor, Aveda finally sees a chance to reclaim her sense of self and sets out on a single-minded mission to make sure Evie has the most epic wedding ever. But when a mysterious, unseen supernatural evil rises up and starts attacking brides-to-be, Aveda must summon both her superheroine and best friend mojo to take down the enemy and make sure Evie’s wedding goes off without a hitch—or see both her city and her most important friendship destroyed forever.

Kuhn follows Heroine Complex with a thoughtful look into the often crowded and complex mind of superheroine Aveda Jupiter, aka Annie Chang, in this roller-coaster romantic urban fantasy. It’s now three months after Aveda, previous protagonist Evie Tanaka, and the rest of the team vanquished Otherworld demons, possibly for good. Used to saving the day, Aveda finds herself at very loose ends, with too much time to think and too few things to punch—a dangerous combination when one is prone to extreme bouts of introspection in the name of learning to be a better friend. Fortunately, a new threat appears in San Francisco: there are traces of Otherworld entities and reports of women flying into unexplained rages. While the team investigates, Aveda faces crises on every front, including a sharp decline in her popularity; the censure of her teammate Scott Cameron, on whom she has a massive crush; and crippling self-doubt as Evie, who used to be her assistant, takes the spotlight. The hints of humor and occasional glimpses of over-the-top fun almost manage to balance out the bleakness of Aveda’s mental landscape, which can be challenging and unpleasant for the reader to inhabit. Agent: Diana Fox, Fox Literary.
