I do not usually like superhero books. They're just not my thing. But the combination of my friend Chessa reading this and loving it and the premise intrigued me enough for me to pick it up, and I'm glad I did!  This reminded me of The Incredibles in a weird way?? But like the other side of the story, and with a female data analyst as the protagonist. It's funny, and dark, and plays with the line between good and evil in a really cool way. I can definitely see this becoming a series, as well. 

P.S. I am wholeheartedly in love with The Auditor as a supervillain name, and claim it for myself in perpetuity, thank you very much.
