Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams, but with new heroes arriving in Nova City it’s up to Nick and his friends to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous. Which is a lot to handle for a guy who just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic.


Like the first book in the series, I liked it, but didn't love it. It's a younger YA than what I usually read, and while that's not an issue in itself, it did add an extra reason why I didn't really feel like I could connect with the characters. Also, I could just see the plot taking a few turns I really didn't want it too, and while I was mostly wrong in that regard (although it does make me hesitant to read the next book, as it feels like they might just have been postponed), reading part of a book actively worried what will happen next is just not my idea of a good time.

The narrator, Michael Lesley, was amazing as always though. Even if Miss Conduct did sound an awful lot like Mama ;-)
