Book Description
Asian-American superheroines Evie Tanaka and Aveda Jupiter protect San Francisco from perilous threats in the second book in Sarah Kuhn's snarky and smart fantasy trilogy • "The superheroine we’ve been waiting for." —Seanan McGuire 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.

Pages : 152
Book Description
Life isn’t easy when you don’t fit the mould. Maisy Fowler knows all about not fitting in – it’s happened all her life. She can’t hold down a job, she feels inadequate socialising, and she’s constantly saying and doing things that come across as rude and selfish. So when, after being fired again, someone defecates on the roof of her ex-boss’s car, she immediately gets the blame. Maisy cannot believe people would think so low of her and in a desperate need to change her image, she applies for a volunteer position in the Scottish Highlands, helping people in pain. Maisy envisions doing yoga, meditating and really being at one with nature. What she doesn’t imagine is, living in a cowshed in the middle of a field, where she’s pretty certain a cross between a frog and a lion is outside her unlocked door at night, waiting to eat her. Can sexy farmer Davie Marshall help her through the cold, hard nights? Two minor details though; he hates everything she stands for, and she loves everything he is not.
