Claire has been trying almost her entire life to become a part of the Warrior Nation – the group that supports Chicago’s superheroes as they fight crime. On the same day she reaches her goal, she also meets and is very intrigued by the newest Superhero – Joy, who is about to become Girl Power. Bridgette, on the other hand, has been part of Warrior Nation for years – as the girlfriend of Vaporizer, who originally was just her adorable boyfriend Matt before his superpowers manifested. When both girls are kidnapped, Bridgette is very blasé – until they realize that there is something different this time. Someone is intent on taking down Warrior Nation – and it may be the ones without powers who will need to save the heroes.
Cestari writes a nice mix of romance and superhero adventure. And I especially loved the normals rescuing the supers. There are so many good superhero books for YA, but they don’t circulate well at my school – too bad for the students, who are really missing out.
