About this listen

After serving two years in a federal prison, Karen Hashimoto is out on parole and eager to put her criminal past behind her. No easy task, since she's also the former supervillain known as Crushette. A chance encounter leads to an unexpected opportunity, and she is recruited as the newest member of the city's premier team of superheroes: The Good Guys.

Now Karen has new teammates, a new code name, and the daunting responsibility of trying to be the hero everyone thinks she can be. Becoming a champion for truth and justice is going to be rough, especially for the ex-girlfriend of the notorious Doctor Maniac. Karen will have to do everything in her powers to keep her past from ruining her future. It was so much simpler being the bad guy.

Not good enough to recommend it to anyone, even a teen.
Clunky, clichéd, a near miss

Just good enough that I didn't send it back

I hope there another book

A book full of morals but also fun. Given the subject the main characters had depth and you could empathise. Rather think of this as a one off book

A feel good book

I liked this book and enjoyed the narration. I wouldn't say it was a clever plot but it was one that kept me entertained and once finished I looked for the next book but that wasn't available at the time but is as I write this review. I can't decide whether to just read it or wait for the audio book as that added significantly to my enjoyment of the first. When I read this book I was reading a lot of hero books and this was a nice change from the normal, if you like books on heroes then I would say get this and if you can the audio version as well, if you only like traditional heroes then think hard and check the samples both audio and book but I still think you should give it a go.

A nice change on the Hero story.

well read, well written and hope there will be more to match nice to see the real thought behind this and become part of the world

great fun

unfortunately this book had a lot of nonsense until around the last hour. Seriously could have cut out all the shopping trips, hairdresser and random obsession with the main characters clothes getting blown off

struggled to stick with this book

Yeah fun world building with a few well develop characters and good twists. I shall be listening to the rest of the series

So not that bad

I started this book knowing nothing about the author and by the third chapter I knew it was a guy. The book literally opens with the protagonist just casually being raped by her parole officer without any understanding or reflection or observation on the violation that just occurred.

The main character is written as a fetishised anime girl with oversized breast whose clothes somehow always get ripped off for laughs and leaving her exposed to be leered at by nearly every male character who are all written as sexist pigs.

This book is squarely targeted at incels who view women as objects and should be kept away from people under the age of 20 at all cost in hopes of saving our future generations from bad writing and even worse ideas of women’s bodily autonomy.

This book isn’t worth the time it took to write this review. You money is better spent elsewhere.

Immature and sexist
