The fifth book in the smart, snarky, and action-packed Heroine series continues the adventures of Asian-American superheroines Evie Tanaka, Aveda Jupiter, and Bea Tanaka in a demon-infested San Francisco.

Over the years, the adventures of superheroines Aveda Jupiter and Evie Tanaka have become the stuff of legend--and now they'll be immortalized in their very own TV show!

The pair head to LA for filming, but Aveda struggles to get truly excited. Instead, she's preoccupied wondering about the fate of the world and her role in it. You know, the usual. Now that Otherworld activity has been detected outside the Bay Area, Aveda can't help but wonder if the demon threat will ever be eradicated.

When the drama on set takes a turn for the supernatural, Evie and Aveda must balance their celebrity commitments with donning their superhero capes again to investigate. And when the evil they battle reveals a larger, more nefarious plot, it's time for the indomitable Aveda Jupiter to rise to the occasion and become the leader she was meant to be on a more global scale--and hopefully keep some semblance of a personal life while doing so.

Superheroines Aveda Jupiter and Evie Tanaka head to Los Angeles from their base in San Francisco to check in on a TV show about their lives. While Evie just wants to relax, Aveda is too busy worrying about everything, trying to solve every problem, to even think about relaxing. She is concerned with the Otherworld threat to Evie’s upcoming baby and she is having a really hard time dealing with the changes in their lives - Evie’s pregnancy, Lucy and Rose moving out on their own, her husband Scott’s opportunity of a new job in LA and her mother’s mysterious series of text messages consisting of photos of oranges.  She fears the team is breaking up and she will be left alone.  But even if Aveda wanted to relax there are weird things happening - a former San Francisco superheroine who has moved to LA is hitting on Scott and trying to lure him to a new job in LA, on the TV show set one actor gets carried away with his vampire role and attacks a fellow actor and then it looks like maybe vampires are not really fiction after all and to top it all off, it appears Shasta is in LA trying yet again to snatch Evie’s baby. 

While I am sure it would have been better to have read the installments prior to this one the author does a good job of sprinkling background information in the first few chapters so a reader new to the series is not entirely lost.  An enjoyable outing in an enjoyable series. ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
