Synopsis

Over the years, the adventures of superheroines Aveda Jupiter and Evie Tanaka have become the stuff of legend—and now they'll be immortalized in their very own TV show! The pair head to LA for filming, but Aveda struggles to get truly excited. Instead, she's preoccupied wondering about the fate of the world and her role in it. You know, the usual. Now that Otherworld activity has been detected outside the Bay Area, she can't help but wonder if the demon threat will ever be eradicated. When the drama on set takes a turn for the supernatural, Evie and Aveda must balance their celebrity commitments with donning their superhero capes again to investigate. And when the evil they battle reveals a larger, more nefarious plot, it's time for the indomitable Aveda Jupiter to rise to the occasion and become the leader she was meant to be on a more global scale—and hopefully keep some semblance of a personal life while doing so.

Note: there are potential spoilers for the first four books.

Although I felt that the plot sometimes struggled to keep its head above the message, I did ultimately enjoy this one - not enough to make it one of my top books of 2021, though, and not enough to want to continue further with the series either. The characters in this series have capital-I Issues, w......more
