Review: THE SECRET LIVES OF SUPERHERO WIVES by Joynell Schultz

This was definitely an interesting spin to the whole superhero fable.

In this book, we have three women: Ariana, Emma, and Victoria.

Ariana is just starting off in her marriage to a superhero and soon realizes that it wasn’t what she’d thought it would be. Soon, she’s spending her nights alone while wondering if her hubby really is out there saving the world. Or is it just an excuse to get away from her? Or maybe it could have something to do with that new, hot red-headed super heroine that he’s taken under his wing? Could Ariana be competing with another woman for her husband’s attention?

Emma wants to have a child of her own, but is afraid that her superhero husband may not be able to produce with his super seed.

After a bitter divorce, Victoria just wants to forget all about her ex and move on. But how can she when he’s always around? Things take an interesting turn when her superhero gets amnesia and forgets how to control his powers. Now, it’s up to Victoria to help him remember by taking a stroll down memory lane that rekindles an old flame.

My favorite was Victoria and her quest to re-enter the dating scene while dealing with a superhero ex. I loved Capitán Rápido! The Kite was just a funny and lovable doofus.

It was endearing to see the women and their struggles to playing second fiddle. But the reader soon realizes that these women are not exactly “powerless” when it comes to support, and they’ll prove it when they help their husbands save the world in the end.

Three marvelous stories that unite to one epic tale!

Light, airy, and witty! Nice cover illustration, too!

 

My rating: 5 stars
