I absolutely loved author Bethany Frenette’s novel Dark Start back when I read it last year. It was great, totally awesome. I thought part of that because I love superheroes, comics and all that jazz. Personally, I liked that Dark Star was a novel where main character Audrey Whitticomb’s mother is a...

The Dark Star trilogy is one of those series I really like, but hate its marketing. First of all, I think this series does deserve more marketing than its getting. It has likable characters, a pretty good plot, and it doesn’t use tropes to that ridiculous point where you seemingly develop psychic...

A bit of a let down because this book is sort of billed as a superhero novel but it just isn't. A poor attempt is made at throwing in some superhero elements but they are very superficial and add little to the story. It's a young adult paranormal romance, and if you look at it like that it's a pre...

"Burn Bright" suffers from middle-book syndrome for a variety of reasons. While there is a lot happening, there is no sense of urgency or danger. This makes the plot drag and all the villains unbelievably underwhelming in spite of several plot twists. The only character I found myself caring abo...

Dark Star by Bethany Frenette is somewhere between a superhero and a demon-hunter book with a teenage protagonist whose mom is the one with the superpowers. For some reason I thought Dark Star was going to have aliens, I don’t know why, maybe the star part? Anyway, more demons than aliens, though it...

Based on this book’s synopsis, I thought it was about superheroes, but many different reviews have been quite to point out that this book is about demons, not superheroes, which was good to know beforehand. I might have felt differently if I hadn’t known this ahead of time, but because I did I think...
