Hench

I have a certain weakness for books about taking down superheroes. Admittedly a rather small genre so I get excited when I find one. I liked the way the characters played off each other and the battles of conscience we see them go through. The main reason this doesn't get 5 stars is there was one twist that I felt like didn't land. Also, I felt the ending could have been a little bit tighter but leaving room for sequel was prioritized.
Interesting things this book has:
-text message conversations
-Queer people who exist beyond their labels/without labels
-Lady friendships
-The awareness that sometimes the main character is wrong
-Interesting use of powers
-mental health/healing
Less interesting:
-Sexual tension that goes nowhere
-Side plots that got lost/ were saved for a sequel.
