Summery:
    Bigtime, New York, is not big enough for both Carmen Cole and the superheroes and ubervillains who stalk its streets. An intrepid reporter, Carmen's dedicated her life to unmasking the spandex wearers, all because her fiance turned out to be a superhero, and a cheating one at that-sleeping with none other than his nubile nemesis. Exposing the true identities of the nation's caped crusaders and their archenemies has catapulted Carmen from her sleepy southern hometown to the front pages of the country's biggest newspaper. Hobnobbing with millionaires and famished fashionistas is all in a day's work for a woman on the trail of the Fearless Five and Terrible Triad. But when Carmen gets the scoop of her career, her life comes crashing down around her. And even Bigtime's sexiest superhero, Striker, may not be able to save her.

Review:
   This book was light and funny and just what I needed after coming off a Hunger Games marathon. At first, I didn't think I could take a city full of super heroes sseriously enough to get through this book but I went with it and it was fun! Carmen was smart and tuff and flirted with danger and masked men. The secondary characters had some spice of their own.  Although predictable at times, it was unique and enjoyable.

Cover:
  While I'm not a fan of the animated covers, this one isn't bad.
