This had a light humor throughout, but still had some action. While I love a darker superhero story, I also like the ones that can make you smile. From dark and gritty, to light and fluffy, there is a superhero book for any type of fan. What I love about YLVA’s Superheroine Collection is that each book is so different. This is light, sweet and even at times fluffy superhero story.
We always get superheroes coming into their powers, or at their prime, or even a little washed-up, but retired sexagenarian superheroes, that just doesn’t happened that often and I was hooked from the beginning of this book.
That right there, that premise, just completely drew me in. Where do you go to find a bunch of ageing superheroes with aches and pains? Why a retirement community of course. This was pure entertainment and just a joy to read. I have read all of Brooks’ books except for The Club (yes, I know it’s supposed to be her best, I’m getting to it eventually) and while I have enjoyed most of them, I think this might be my new favorite by Brooks. As a huge superhero geek, I was really looking forward to it so I was happy to finally dig into it today. This was a lot of fun! With life getting in the way, I was a little late getting to read this book from YLVA. This cracking adventure with a side of romance is for lovers of tough, jaded, lesbian cops, superheroes and villains, and feisty retirees who don’t take retirement lying down. Geena and Leigh meet with the mysterious Powers, and realize the women might hold the key to stopping Jewel, once and for all.
Their nosy nurse is convinced they are not what they seem. Meanwhile, over in a retirement home in Missouri, four old women sharing the surname Power are arousing suspicion with their strange behavior. However, what Leigh finds will turn Agent Fox’s world upside down. She sends the woman off on a wild goose chase searching for a long-lost missing person to get her out of her sight. Now her boss has assigned her a rookie partner, Leigh Walker, and that’s the last thing Geena needs. On one bittersweet day six years ago, her team of superheroes defeated Jewel, the world’s most evil villainꟷbut Geena’s secret lover died in the process.
Agent Geena Fox is counting down the days to her retirement.
