“Sarah Kuhn creates characters you want to befriend, worlds you
want to live in, and situations you can’t begin to imagine. Heroine
Complex is at once fiendishly snarky yet colossally
big-hearted.”
—Javier Grillo-Marxuach, writer and producer for Lost, creator
of The Middleman

women, Heroine Complex is the kind of read that sticks in your
brain like a fanged cupcake . . . I adored it.”
—Amber Benson, author of The Witches of Echo Park
“The superheroine we’ve been waiting for; the urban fantasy we

“Every page of Sarah Kuhn’s novel delighted me immensely . . .
Kuhn’s writing is bouncy and engaging, and Evie is very clearly
spun into a captivating character. I also have to give Kuhn props
for balancing romance and humour and drama, and making me wish that
Heroine Complex would go on just a little bit longer.”
—Book Riot
“Romance, adventure, kick-butt action sequences, and killer
cupcakes combine to make this a great example of how weird and
wonderful urban fantasy can be in the right hands.”
—B&N Sci-fi & Fantasy Blog

superwomen saving San Francisco from demon-possessed cupcakes?
Check and check, Kuhn's Heroine Complex is a ridiculously fun
read.”

danger! . . . This seriously was an entertaining read. The
character development was superb.”
