I'm all for strong, smart, capable women, but part of being strong, smart, and capable is knowing when you're in over your head and asking for help and/or listening to others. So yeah, when the cop detective love interest tells you to not do XYZ and you go off and do XYZ and do mental gymnastics to justify it to yourself, or you decide to not tell him something because of stupid reasons, then yeah, you're too stupid to live. That said, I really enjoyed the plot of this. It was fast, full of nerdery and geekery, the background characters were great, and I am looking forward to seeing what else the author has planned for this series. Hopefully MG grows a few more brain cells. I can easily envision this book as the pilot episode for the next prime time cop series. If you like, say, Bones or Castle, then this book is right for you. I enjoyed it. It was a fun read filled with comic con fandom Easter eggs that certainly didn't get past me, which makes me wonder if I'm more of a pop culture nerd than I think I am. Sometimes the pop culture references felt a little piled on, but that's okay. This isn't meant to be a deep story with Pulitzer Prize potential. The romantic tease throughout this piece also reminded me of those lighthearted cop shows we see on TV. I'm not much of a romance fan, so be forewarned. I thought that elements of the budding romance went against MG's character. Speaking of character, most of them are familiar stereotypes from the comics convention world. You could criticize the story for that reason alone, but each character served his/her purpose in a story that's really meant to be mainstream anyway. By all means, pick up this book if you're looking for a light and entertaining read where you don't have to think about it too much. It's clever, and I give it four stars for the right audience. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Golden Arrow (1)
"MG Martin lives and breathes geek culture. She even works as a writer for the comic book company she idolized as a kid. But despite her love of hooded vigilantes, MG prefers her comics stay on the page. But when someone in LA starts recreating crime scenes from her favorite comic book, MG is the LAPD's best--and only--lead. She recognizes the golden arrow left at the scene as the calling card of her favorite comic book hero. The thing is...superheroes aren't real. Are they? When too-handsome-for-his-own-good Detective Kildaire asks for her comic book expertise, MG is more than up for the adventure. Unfortunately, MG has a teeny little tendency to not follow rules. And her off-the-books sleuthing may land her in a world of trouble. Because for every superhero, there is a supervillain. And the villain of her story may be closer than she thinks..."--Amazon.
