But all that changed the day she agreed to share the spotlight with her best friend and former assistant Evie Tanaka—whos now a badass, fire-wielding superheroine in her own right. They were supposed to be a dynamic duo, but more and more, Aveda finds herself shoved into the sidekick role. Where, it must be said, she is not at all comfortable.It doesnt help that Avedas finally being forced to deal with fallout from her diva behavior—and the fact that shes been a less than stellar friend to Evie. Or that Scott Cameron—the man Avedas loved for nearly a decade—is suddenly giving her the cold shoulder after what seemed to be some promising steps toward friendship. Or that the city has been demon-free for three months in the wake of Evie and Avedas apocalypse-preventing battle against the evil forces of the Otherworld, leaving Aveda without the one thing she craves most in life: a mission.All of this is causing Avedas burning sense of heroic purpose—the thing thats guided her all these years—to falter.In short, Aveda Jupiter is having an identity crisis.When Evie gets engaged and drafts Aveda as her maid-of-honor, Aveda finally sees a chance to reclaim her sense of self and sets out on a single-minded mission to make sure Evie has the most epic wedding ever.

Review Praise for Heroine Worship:"Mixing fun superhero shenanigans with great teamwork and a well-developed (and hot) romance, Heroine Worship is a worthy sequel to one of my favorite books from last year. I am so ready for book 3 now." —Kirkus Reviews"The Heroine Complex series continues to be one of the most fun and thoughtful takes on the superhero genre. By telling a story from Aveda Jupiters perspective — or rather, Annie Changs — Kuhn adds more layers of complexity, honesty and heart to this series." —RT Reviews (top pick)"Kuhn follows 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." —Publishers Weekly"In Annie, Sarah Kuhn writes a reminder to women like us who feel too much, who do too much, who want so much, and who have no idea how to manage all of those things at once. She is richly drawn and explored, and given agency to be all that she is." —BookRiot"Annies 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." —Library Journal"Sarah Kuhn balances the (often) light and (frequently) funny superhero action tone with two very believable, complicated main characters.... Kuhn puts us inside Avedas head to show us what it feels like to be the hero that everyone loves, but a person whos hard to like. There are very few true jerks in Kuhns big-hearted (if snarky) universe." —B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog"In short, heres what I love about this series: healthy relationships, dang good romance, powerful female friendships, leading ladies of color who are aware of the power of this own image, incredible honesty, downright perfect writing about what it is to be human, and the most dynamic duo since… ever." —Readcommendations"Sarah Kuhns San Francisco is a city worth visiting as many times she cares to treat us to superheroine adventures. Her voice is not only fresh, witty and vibrant; its very necessary." —Writers After Dark Review Quote Praise for Heroine Complex : "Sarah Kuhn creates characters you want to befriend, worlds you want to live in, and situations you cant begin to imagine. Heroine Complex is at once fiendishly snarky yet colossally big-hearted ." --Javier Grillo-Marxuach, writer and producer for Lost , creator of The Middleman " Smart, sexy, and filled with beautifully fleshed-out/kick-ass women , Heroine Complex is the kind of read that sticks in your brain like a fanged cupcake.... I adored it." --Amber Benson, author of The Witches of Echo Park " The superheroine weve been waiting f∨ the urban fantasy we deserve. Sarah Kuhn is the total package: comedy, tragedy, and sincerity. Grab your cape. Were saving the city." --Seanan McGuire, New York Times- bestselling author of the October Daye series "Every page of Sarah Kuhns novel delighted me immensely.... Kuhns writing is bouncy and engaging , and Evie is very clearly spun into a captivating character. I also have to give Kuhn props for balancing romance and humour and drama, and making me wish that Heroine Complex would go on just a little bit longer." --Book Riot " Romance, adventure, kick-butt action sequences , and killer cupcakes combine to make this a great example of how weird and wonderful urban fantasy can be in the right hands." --B&N Sci-fi & Fantasy Blog "Onomatopoeias? Check. Snarkiness? Check. Kick-ass Asian-American superwomen saving San Francisco from demon-possessed cupcakes? Check and check, Kuhns Heroine Complex is a ridiculously fun read ." -- RT Reviews (top pick) "Witty.... Kuhn starts of the novel with vivacity and a tongue-in-cheek narration ." -- Publishers Weekly " A fresh take on a superheroine story . Full of wit and of course danger!... This seriously was an entertaining read. The character development was superb." --Boundless Books "Love the humor and wacky hijinks, along with character development.... This is everything Ive ever wanted in a book! " --Dreaming of Cats Excerpt from Book Chapter One I LOVE BEING a superhero. I love that sense of purpose, welling in my chest. That pride that comes with knowing Im doing good in this world, protecting those who cant protect themselves. That satisfying sensation of my fist connecting with some demon assholes face. I love doing what I do best . Because if you cant be the best at something, whats the point? "Help us, Aveda Jupiter!"
