️❤⚢♀♀♀⚡♀♀♀⚕♀♀♀️❤ ️ That’s in exchange of an honest review that I received an ARC of « Never Too Late for Heroes » (The Superheroine Collection – Book 6) by A.L. Brooks from Ylva Publishing… Thank you so much for providing me this book. … My rating : 5 ⭐️ OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYY … long story, short : It was a fabulous book that I couldn’t put down … I definitely had a blast while reading it !!! But since the review must be a tad longer than that, here it is in its extended version !!! The story sets in the US (in various locations) and focuses, or at least we think it does, on Agent Genna Fox who is a legend in the Agency & has been desk sitting for the last six years while counting her days until retirement… & on Agent Leigh Walker, Genna’s rookie partner. But there’s more depth in the book than we think … Because, « on stage », between others, we also find some feisty retirees : Reed, Mary, Sunny and Val Power, four cousins who are calling Hazy Days Residential Care « home » for the past six years but don’t take retirement lying down and Dana Chapman, a newly hired and very nosy nurse at Hazy Days : she’s a real busybody, and, accordingly, in constant need to snoop especially around the intriguing Power cousins … Once they’ll be all reunited for some reasons (you’ll have to read the novel to know wich one ), they’ll all lead us is a cracking, funny, exciting and empowering adventure with a lil touch of romance … The Pros : ° the author’s great writing style ° the very original « combination » giving the story all its sense… Which one ??? This one => in there we don’t have 1 or 2 lead characters … nope … we’ve got a pack of 8 MCs composed by : a seasonned agent waiting for retirement, four retired superheroes without any power since a while, 1 superheroine presumed dead but Agent Fox (aka her secret lover) never gave up on her, a rookie agent & a very nosy nurse… All those people will end up assembled to take down 1 supervillain, one who was also supposedly dead … ° the aging MCs (superheroes or not). I loved this fact since we always need more diversity in our lil niche. Older characters are very welcome since I’m no cougar and, like anyone else, I’m not getting younger… & TBH, I prefer reading books staring mature characters … ° the two different rom arcs found in this novel. OK, they are at the minimum romance level (that’s not the first purpose of the book after all ) but, like me, I think a lot of people will fall for them nonetheless … ° a LOT of humor is found in there. There are some very funny stuff all the novel long but some other stuff are just hilarious & I laughed out loud, a lot. It was soooooooooo good !!! ° the comic book side of the novel… OK, that’s not a graphic novel but it’s here nonetheless. While reading this novel (instead of some traditional comic books) I dived in a « universe » I really appreciated … Great job Ms Brooks !!! ‘cause it really was like reading the scenario of a great comics movie that I’d love to watch on a big screen … I didn’t have any trouble picturing all those ladies, the great group dynamics, the action & the funny banters in my mind’s eye … I didn’t eat any pop-corn, though. BUT if someone wants to shoot this movie someday, you can be sure I’ll go to the cinema and enjoy it and, for once, I’ll even take a full(and huge) bucket of caramelized pop-corn The Cons : maybe, for some people, there are some but not for me … even if there were some, there are so many « Pros » we can oppose to them that they wouldn’t even deserve to be mentioned. If I had to make a very short and quite different version of my review, it’d be something like this : Did I enjoy this book? => Hell, yes !!!… Did I find the characters believable? => Yes Is this book now included in my « must be re-read »-list? => Yes Will I purchase the paperback? => Yes, ASAP Would I read another book by this author? => Definitely, yes … I can’t wait for the next novel ! Would I recommend this book => Yes, to everyone but espcecially to the comic books fans Happy reading, all !!! ♀❤️♀ ️❤⚢♀♀♀⚡♀♀♀⚕♀♀♀️❤ ️
