Publisher's summary

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.

Bubblegum-punk superhero action with real heart

It's surprising, funny, and action-packed. The character work is Khun's strength - every character subverts expectations eventually. Definitely worth a listen.

Was recommended but it wasn’t for me.

This book was highly recommended by people who are big fans of a genre I’m not a big fan of. That being said, I like superhero books, fantasy books, science fiction books, and I hated this book. I gave it four hours. I was trying to let it warm my interest, and it never happened. I guess I felt like the main characters were either weak or manipulative and it’s too much like real life LOL in that uncomfortable way of “I would have just walked away from that bullsh*t” so it was hard for me to enjoy. Also, I just never cared about what was happening. I suspect I was the wrong person for this book, as opposed to this book being a bad read.
