Synopsis

When Maggie Bennett agreed to take a break from her own research to be the test subject in an experiment, all she wanted to do was help her best friend Sierra secure grant funding for the new medical imaging machine she was developing. But when Sierra's ex-boyfriend Garrett causes an explosion in the lab next door, Maggie finds herself gifted with Superpowers and in the custody of the High Guard, Sun City's most prominent Superhero Team.

At first, it isn't bad. The High Guard is helping her learn to use her powers while also working to keep her and Sierra from getting blamed for the explosion. And there's Varsha, the cute speedster that keeps showing up at her room with homemade ice cream and staying for lesbian movie marathons. But when Maggie discovers that Garrett is alive, and part of a plot to steal dangerous alien technology with ties to Maggie's past, she finds herself pushed into the role of a reluctant Superhero.

Caught in a race against time, Maggie must master her new abilities, and use her skills as a scientist to figure out why Garrett and his accomplices want the technology—and who they intend to sell it to.

Goodreads review by Katherine on June 24, 2023

This is the third and latest book in the Hearts of Heroes series, each a contained story set within a comic book style superhero setting. Scatter, the first one, was most excellent, while the second, Transistor, wasn't nearly as good. This one falls in between the two and is really quite the read. H......more

Goodreads review by Jacques on June 21, 2023

4.5 stars This was a great addition to the series. It was better than Transister, because the whole book didn't feel like one long repeated sequence. However, it did have some repetitious concepts that almost made me give it a lower score. (view spoiler)[For instance, Praetorian's history gets mentioned several (hide spoiler)]......more

4 stars. How did I not know about this series until this past month. The first is still my favorite, but all are worth reading.......more

Goodreads review by Andi on October 01, 2023

Totally awesome Nerdy, sapphic awesomeness. Accidental superpowers, math zombie mode, kulfi breaks and a talking cat (yes, that was an accident, too). In the Scatter world but could be read as a standalone (but the series is great, read them all).......more
