4⭐ - Superpowers, Swoon, and a Cliffhanger That Left Me Screaming
Gilded Hero by CM Tillman hooked me from the very first page with its fresh take on superheroes, sizzling chemistry, and a plot so gripping I couldn’t stop reading. If you’re a fan of strong FMCs, charming yet mysterious MMCs, and high-stakes drama, this book is for you.
Lily, our headstrong and no-nonsense FMC, has no love for Supers and their godlike egos—until a chance one-night stand with Athos, a centuries-old Supe, flips her world upside down. Their dynamic is pure magic: witty banter, undeniable tension, and a slow-burn connection that has you rooting for them even as they push each other’s buttons.
The world-building here is next level, blending sci-fi and fantasy in a way that feels entirely unique. Think The Boys but in a post-apoloptic world. From the societal divide between Supers and humans to the intricate tech and power dynamics, CM Tillman creates a world that’s both fascinating and believable.
But let’s talk about that ending. That cliffhanger? Absolutely brutal. I’m still reeling and already desperate for book two to see where this story goes next.
Why You’ll Love It:
✨ A slow-burn romance packed with tension
✨ Smart, layered world-building with plenty of twists
✨ A fierce, relatable heroine and a swoon-worthy Supe
If you’re into superhero stories with heart, heat, and plenty of drama, Gilded Hero will hit the spot. CM Tillman, please—bring on book two ASAP!
