Description

Every time Cinnamon Blade, crime fighter making up for a bad past, rescues the sweet and nerdy Soledad Castillo from bad guys, the two women's chemistry grows stronger. Now that she's finally asked Soledad out, sparks fly -- but is a normal date even possible in a city threatened by aliens and vampires on a regular basis?

High-heat f/f romance starring a bi Jewish superheroine!

Review

Possibly Shira's best book yet

Beautifully sweet and heart-warming, there are dozens of things I loved about this book.

Superheroes! Werewolves! Puns about sexuality!

But most of all, two dorks falling in love and being dorks with each other.

I really loved this and I hope we get to see more of Cinnamon and Soledad, and their amazing cast of supporting characters.

Highlights

She wanted to hear more of Soledad geeking out, preferably while sticky and naked and trying to decide on pizza toppings. — location: 127

"So, uh, I'm not looking for a man either. Whaddya say we not look for a man together? It's a hard job, but I think we're up for it." — location: 136

Blade shivered in anticipation of the reveal, wondering in that millisecond if she was going to mention wax play, or a flogger, or that she was packing. Well, maybe not in that dress. — location: 172
