Superheroes Suck
by Jamie Zakian
Welcome to Gemini City, where super-battles disrupt rush hour, insurance claim adjusters rival rock stars, and villains stash the souls of murdered superheroes inside little children.
It’s been ten years since Shay Sinclair’s parents were murdered by a super villain, leaving she and her sister to fend for themselves. Now at age sixteen, Shay has something that villain wants. Something he needs. After a chance encounter with a superhero in a stairwell, something awakens in Shay, something that could get her killed.
Max Steel has spent the last ten years searching for one particular soul. Now, a coincidental run-in with Shay Sinclair leaves Max closer than he’s ever been to everything he’s ever wanted. But Max hits a brick wall when he goes after her. Unlike other girls her age, Shay isn’t into superheroes. So, if Max wants to win her over and be reunited with the soul inside her, he must get creative. He invites Shay into a seductive world of fame, glamour, luxury, and epic battles with villainous foes.
Now that Shay’s in the mix with superheroes and crazed villains, everyone wants a piece of her. A super villain wants to devour her soul, a superhero wants to love her, and Shay just wants to go back to her normal life. It’s not like in the movies. In real life, superheroes suck.
My Thoughts...
Where do I begin..I knew this book was about Superheroes but WOW! This book is full of drama, drama, drama ugh! Shay our main character, is your awkward teenager who lives with her older sister after their parents were tragically killed. But they live in a world where superheroes exist, and everyone knows it! But these superheroes are a major nuisance to everyone in Gemini City...they cause a crap ton of property damage, and people's lives are endangered all the time. Evie Shay's older sister and guardian deals with property damage and is sick of the superheroes hurting people and their businesses with no consequences for the them. Honestly I was not expecting the main characters to have some much animosity towards superheroes because well they're superheroes....Shay hates the superheroes because they killed her parents but that changes once she meets Max the superhero.. and realizes that they are just like regular people..Also Shay reminds Max of his dead superhero girlfriend...I loved the pacing of the book, and the character development. I found myself caring for the superheroes more than I thought I would. I am recommending this book to everyone!! 4.5/5!
