Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines

This one has been on my tbr forever, so when I saw it in person for the first time at the bookstore by my apartment I immediately bought it. It’s definitely one that is right up my alley; The Avengers meets The Walking Dead? Count me in. And it was really good, but it left something to be desired that kept it from being five stars.
The story was super fun, it’s a bunch of superheroes living at Paramount Studios trying to survive the zombie apocalypse and keep the people in their community safe. The few twists in the story were fantastic and definitely added a few different elements to the story that I loved. And I felt like most of the characters were pretty cool. Stealth seemed way she was too over the top and a wish fulfillment sorta thing (I mean, a former Miss Teen Universe that wears a super revealing costume and also has multiple PhDs and is the leader and one of the strongest superheroes is a bit much). But beyond that I didn’t have any issues with them. It’s definitely a series I’m going to keep going with it.
