The fourth book in the smart, snarky, and action-packed Heroine series follows Evie Tanaka, Aveda Jupiter, and Bea Tanaka as they combat a new supernatural threat. Everything in Evie Tanaka's life is finally perfect. As a badass superheroine, she defends San Francisco from demon invasion on the regular. Her relationships with superhero partner Aveda Jupiter, little sister Bea, and hot, half-demon husband Nate have never been stronger. Maybe it's possible for a grad school dropout turned put-upon personal assistant turned superhero to have it all' Just when she thinks life can't get any better, Evie learns she's pregnant. Everyone around her is overjoyed but Evie has major doubts about whether she's cut out for motherhood. Before she can dwell on her dilemma, a local women's college reports a string of mysterious "hauntings," and Evie and Aveda are called in to investigate, going undercover as grad students during the creepiest time of the year: Halloween. As she confronts terrifying ghosts and lives out a bizarre version of the grad school life she left behind, Evie can't help but wonder about the road not taken: what would her life be like if she'd stayed here instead of pursuing superheroing with Aveda' And can an overwhelmed pregnant superhero truly have it all' She's about to find out.… (mehr)

This is a fun installment of the Heroine Complex series. I wasn't sure how the book would go since the first 3 books each set up the romance for the MCs and now these second 3 books involve established couples. However, it works really well: the relationship is part of the focus of the book, but there's still plenty of paranormal shenanigans to focus on as well.

I especially enjoyed how realistic the college aspect of this book felt. The new characters (almost all college students) were believable and distinct, and I wanted to be their friends. I also appreciated how honest Evie's emotions were in this book. While I haven't felt the exact things she did, I did experience similar feelings when I was in college and I didn't always let myself process them in a healthy fashion. I think I've grown and healed since then, so it was refreshing to see Evie grow and heal as well. ( )

Definitely a good start with what Lucy and Rose's characters are doing.Then it gets predictably complicated (oh, and then there's pretty much no more Rose and Lucy after that, which sucked).

Aveda and Evie have to go undercover as grad students at Morgan college because Morgan seems to have a ghost problem (and could it be a demon problem to?)

On the good side, it had a very Silas University (from the Carmilla webseries/movie) to it. There was also a Scott & Bailey TV show mention (very cool).

On the other hand. Nate's an ass in this. I never really saw why he was put with Evie in the first place, and, in this book that opinion has only been strengthened.

Overall I thought that Evie's subplot seemed really really very forced and made it hard at times to get into the rest of the book. It also needed much more Bea, Rose, and Lucy.

I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of DAW. ( )

Evie and Aveda go undercover as grad students at the college where Evie dropped out of grad school to investigate ghostly and dangerous events. Since Evie is pregnant and struggling with much anxiety over being a superhero parent of a demon-influenced baby, there is a lot of family drama intersecting with Evie’s bad memories of how she destroyed the school library on her way out, when she saw her professor/lover having sex with someone else there. (She donated to build a new one afterwards!) It’s pretty cute and everyone processes their emotions, though sometimes only after initially bad reactions. ( )
