MARTINA'S MARCH "THE POWER OF THREE" CHALLENGE - 3/10 COMPLETEEarlier today I finished Phenomenal Girl 5 (Elite Hands of Justice, Book 1) by A.J. Menden (★★★★★). In a nutshell, I'd describe this book as a Superhero Romance. Lainey Livingston (aka Phenomenal Girl 5) has just been made a member of the Elite Hands of Justice, the world's topmost band of superheroes. It's a dream Lainey has been working for since she was a school girl. However, before becoming a full-fledge member, she must train for two years with The Reincarnist, Robert Elliot. Robert is a magician who, upon death, is instantly reincarnated as a 20 year old man who retains all previous magical knowledge - though not necessarily ALL knowledge. As Lainey & Robert grow closer, a new evil mastermind hatches the most nefarious plot the Elite Hands of Justice have ever seen.
Yes, it sounds hokey - a superhero romance. And yes, this book sat on my TBR shelf for three years. But, let me tell you what a mistake that was! This is a fantastically refreshing book! As a long-time paranormal romance reader, one sees mostly vampires & werewolves with the occasional magic-user type book. But this is the first true superhero book I've seen and it was awesome! I'm definitely picking up the second book in the series, Tekgrrl, (despite hating the LOL Cat style title) sometime very soon. You meet Tekgrrl in this book and I'm looking forward to reading her story in her own book. There's also a third book, Sorceress, Interrupted that features another very minor character in Phenomenal Girl 5.
Since this is an unusual book, the series I've read that is most like this one is Gena Showalter's "Extraordinary Girl" series. However, I think anyone who likes both romance and comic books (or movies based on comics) will like this book.

The main characters in the Smoke series are:
Tony Foster--wizard in training and apprentice Director of the TV show "Darkest Night" (the highest rated Vampire Detective show in syndication) lol
Henry Fitzroy--one time Duke of Richmond and eldest (illegimate) son of Henry VIII and present day vampire and writer of historical romances under the name of Elizabeth Fitzroy--arguing that since Elizabeth was as entitled to the name Fitzroy (historically someone named Fitz anything was an acknowledged illegimate child) as he was. Did I mention that, even after 450+ years Henry is still a devout Catholic?
Chester Bane--one time pro-football player and owner of CB Productions, which created, produces and markets "Darkest Night"
Various evil villians, handsome TV actors, self-centered actors, tech support and a cast of hundreds.
