My biggest complaint about his book is the use of multiple narrators -- especially as the "Joss" voice is identically to the "Dylan" voice.

WOW, this was so exciting I actually had to stop and catch my breath every now and then! And I totally dreamed about Joss and Dylan last night, running around with them in the dark, helping them look out for Marco and his evil goons the whole time.

Joss and Dylan are great together, and although they are young, their story and their relationship seemed very real to me!

Both of them wanted to protect the other, but when they had to fight together, they got better and better about it each time.

The excitement never ended, until the words on the page was 'the end' and I am SO curious about what will be up with the next installment, there are still a lot of things that can happen there, especially with the NIAC spy in school.

I recommend this to all of my friends who like reading something really exciting, with lots of fights, some paranormal stuff, and mostly urban fiction. This is very well written, and kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole book. ( )

In this much anticipated sequel to Bischoff's Hush Money we finally get exactly what we've been waiting for--MOAR JOSS AND DYLAN! The whole he likes me, he likes me not finally comes to fruition against a backdrop of more evil plotting by Marco, which makes him a villain you more than love to hate--you want to destroy. If you thought he was awful in Hush Money, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Bischoff unwaveringly ups the stakes for all the Talents in Fairview who all want to mobilize--and want Joss to lead them. As I read this book I laughed, I cried, and I changed my mind about fifty times about what kind of Talent *I* want because she kept introducing new cool ones. This is a must read for fans of superhero romance. ( )

Reactions:
I found "Hush, Hush" exciting but a bit short. "Heroes 'Til Curfew "is incredibly intense, stressful and the perfect right length to let the reader enjoy the company of all the characters.
Moreover, in this volume, the reader has no time to be bored or to catch his breath before he is taken on a new adventure. So, I really want a third installment to find out what will happen ... A thrilling and engaging serie !

I enjoyed the variety of emotions that go through you during your reading with some terribly, distressing peaks in the final pages. The writing and story proposed by the author is much more darker and dangerous than the previously one imagined in an already blackish "Hush, Hush."

The novel starts yet gently focusing on the progress taking place in the relationship between Dylan and Joss. Gradually, you can feel the sexual tension moving between the two protagonists, but there is also, in parallel, a new strength built in their relationship. Joss opens herself more and learns to trust the young man. They share their past, their family history and Dylan manages to succeed without feeling like the emasculated boy who is dating superwoman. They accept themselves like they are and it is a beautiful lesson in love.

Then the reader takes a look at the group dynamics with different talents that are organized in band like X-Men: good against evil. But with powers more sharpened and really useful to do evil on Marco's side. We discover new characters with new abilities and you can not help but shudder in scenes of patrols where Joss, Dylan and the others find themselves trapped.

I was very touched and surprised by the darkness of the atrocities portrays by the author in a book for teenagers or young adults. Quite difficult scenes that we do not expect to find in supernatural stories either.

Affected in a good way. I almost stopped reading beacause I was screaming inside my head "No, no, it can not happen!" With butterflies in my stomach, tripe taken by the intensity of the scenes described in the shop of Joss's father.

But it's also the fact that I physically react when reading that interested me. I lived through the events as if I were with the characters and that's the sign, for me, of some wonderful writen skills.
Congrats to Susan Bischoff ! Both her stories are amazingly pleasant and disturbing at the same time.
If I was excited by "Hush, Hush", I was swift off my feet by "Heroes' Til Curfew". I really liked the whole series. Pending the further adventures of Joss and Dylan, I'll throw myself on "Impulse Control.".
"Talent Chronicles," a wonderful series ... I'm a huge fan!

Joss is a kick ass character that gained a lot respect from readers with nature leaders and heroine persona that was revealed Hush Money. Hereos ‘til Curfew offers the same action packed and powerful read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. As the romance between Joss and Dylan accelerates in this book readers will relish in the developments that were lacking in Hush Money. As their love continues to grow Joss and Dylan will find that their lists of enemies are growing quickly. As desperate times call for desperate measures they will find themselves closer to be discovering discovered than ever before. Now they will have to decide if they have the power to be on the offensive and protect themselves. The ending of Heroes ‘til Curfew will wrap up the story we began in Hush Money, as well as, set building blocks for more.
