The Hero Complex

Bloomsbury presents The Hero Complex by Helen Comerford read by Carla Harrison-Hodge and Leda Hodgson

In the second book of this swoony, striking YA duology, a teen girl finds herself reluctantly stepping into the role of superhero.

It turns out that having superpowers doesn't always make saving the world any easier. Jenna Ray has to sign up with the Hero and Powers Association to become a registered superhero. This means going back into the belly of the power-stealing, potentially murderous beast, and hiding the fact that her mother is involved with the Villains. Worst of all, it means she can’t be with Blaze--workplace relationships are strictly forbidden.

As Jenna tries to fix the HPA from the inside, she's forced to make a choice: save the world or follow her heart?©2025 Helen Comerford (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Excellent sequel!

Excellent sequel to the Love Interest. Fresh and relevant to our times superhero story—it made me think of how the X-men was based on the Civil Rights Movement. Superb narration too!
