Aveda Jupiter, demon-fighting superheroine of San Francisco, is having an identity crisis. After saving the city from annihilation by a deranged demon princess, Aveda, aka Annie Chang, is bored. She is also increasingly unsure of her role, now that her best friend (and former assistant) Evie Tanaka is a superheroine in her own right. When Evie gets engaged to her half-demon love Nate, Aveda jumps into action to be the best maid of honor ever. But can she put aside her diva ways to support Evie, especially when a possible new demon threat is targeting the bride-to-be? Aveda needs to find her mojo, save her beloved City by the Bay, plan a bridal shower, and sort out her own love life. No problem.This sequel to Heroine Complex is nearly as fun, sexy, and smart as the series launch. While the demon-fighting action is not as sharp as readers might expect, the relationships among the main characters are strong and relatable, and the sexual chemistry between Annie and Scott is palpable. Annie's struggles to merge her kick-ass Aveda persona with her everyday Annie Chang tendencies can be hilariously slapstick, while her emotional growth provides its own tearjerker moments. Verdict Urban fantasy fans seeking novels featuring diverse protagonists should snap up Kuhn's works.âJennifer Beach, Longwood Univ. Lib., Farmville, VA (c) Copyright 2017.

Kuhn follows
Copyright 2017 Publishers Weekly.Heroine Complex with a thoughtful look into the often crowded and complex mind of superheroine Aveda Jupiter, aka Annie Chang, in this roller-coaster romantic urban fantasy. It's now three months after Aveda, previous protagonist Evie Tanaka, and the rest of the team vanquished Otherworld demons, possibly for good. Used to saving the day, Aveda finds herself at very loose ends, with too much time to think and too few things to punchâa dangerous combination when one is prone to extreme bouts of introspection in the name of learning to be a better friend. Fortunately, a new threat appears in San Francisco: there are traces of Otherworld entities and reports of women flying into unexplained rages. While the team investigates, Aveda faces crises on every front, including a sharp decline in her popularity; the censure of her teammate Scott Cameron, on whom she has a massive crush; and crippling self-doubt as Evie, who used to be her assistant, takes the spotlight. The hints of humor and occasional glimpses of over-the-top fun almost manage to balance out the bleakness of Aveda's mental landscape, which can be challenging and unpleasant for the reader to inhabit.Agent: Diana Fox, Fox Literary.
