発行者による作品情報
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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Superheroines Aveda Jupiter and Evie Tanaka make their magnificent Hollywood debut in Kuhn's entertaining fifth Heroine urban fantasy (after Haunted Heroine)—but they struggle to distinguish the real demons from those who work in the industry. The Tanaka/Jupiter team are adjusting to a new normal when the opportunity arises for pregnant, Japanese American Evie and Chinese American recovering diva Aveda to visit the set of the television show being made about their lives. Evie labels it an L.A. vacation, something mission-focused Aveda is loath to do. Indeed, their getaway is chronically, chaotically interrupted by an old rival, the presence of vampires, and a series of strange attacks on set. Aveda goes into protective overdrive, especially since the evil Shasta is still gunning for Evie's baby, demon activity has spread from San Francisco, and L.A.'s own darling superheroine has eyes for Aveda's husband. Kuhn offers an unflinching look at what it means to be an Asian woman in America as Aveda, who's always been told she's too intense and felt pressure to conform, continues to evolve into a strong, complicated woman who allows herself to get emotional and behave outside the limits placed on her. This action-laden romp offers all the fun and adventure series fans expect—with surprisingly sharp teeth.
