sc104906 's review for:
Blaze (or Love in the Time of Supervillains)
by Laurie Boyle Crompton
Blaze shares an obsession of comic books with her father, really the only thing she shares with him. After he left, Blaze had to step into the second parent role, while her mom works long hours at the hospital. Blaze carts her 13 year old brother and his friends around in the Superturd (read minivan). While at soccer practice with her charges, Blaze falls for her brother's coach. Mark is a world class ladies man and Blaze's brother wants her to stay away. But, Mark is way too dreamy and Blaze gets with him. It ends terrible and Blaze extracts revenge.
I hated this book, but I liked the author's style (kinda). There was some seriously annoying slut shaming going on in this book, with no real redemption from this kind of thinking. I both loved and hated Blaze. In one paragraph should would be this kick butt, take no prisoners, strong woman, and in the next she would thoughtlessly gossip about another character's sexploits. The glimmers of awesomeness were there, but overall, it was terrible. I was grumbling at the book many times.
Also, what comic fanatic doesn't know about the cons!? Cons=life, this is just not believable.
