Heroine Worship by Sarah Kuhn
(Release Date: July 4th, 2017)
About the Book: 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.
Why I’m dying to read this:
I really loved Heroine Complex, the first book! I first fell in love with the cover, the vibrancy of it, and Heroine Worship is even more fabulous! I especially love this book is about Aveda instead of Evie. I knew there was more to her, and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out between Aveda and Scott!
I want it!

Is this a graphic novel? (Assuming so by the cover but figured better to be safe and ask.) It does look good.

It’s actually not. It’s a novel, but I’ve always thought the hardcover should come with glossy images throughout because that cover is awesome!

Oh man! How have I not heard of this series yet. This seems like the right sort of pop-y summer read I need to put on my TBR. Or, well, at least starting with Heroine Complex. Thanks for calling this out!
