Description

Expect even more swoon, outrageous humour and epic battles in The Hero Complex, the sequel to Helen Comerford’s Carnegie-nominated YA debut The Love Interest.

Jenna Ray was the Love Interest, but now she’s the HERO. Unfortunately, as it turns out, having actual superpowers doesn’t make life any easier.

For starters, being an official superhero means Jenna and Blaze can work together but not be together, no matter how much they are drawn to each other.

Jenna knows she can make it work. She can be ‘just friends’ with Blaze while handling intensive hero-training exercises, a world-ending prophecy and her own power-triggering panic attacks … She can be the perfect hero.

As the pressure builds, what more will Jenna have to give up in order to save the world?

Publisher Review

A funny, swoony, romantic, feminist take on the superhero genre. Who needs a hero when you’ve got yourself? * Christine Pillainayagam, author of Ellie Pillai is Brown on The Love Interest * Original and witty and such assured writing that crackles as much as it shines … Helen Comerford is a writer to watch * CJ Skurse, author of the Sweetpea series on The Love Interest *
