Heroes 'Til Curfew (Talent Chronicles #2)

Worth the wait!

In this much anticipated sequel to Bischoff's Hush Money we finally get exactly what we've been waiting for--MOAR JOSS AND DYLAN! The whole he likes me, he likes me not finally comes to fruition against a backdrop of more evil plotting by Marco, which makes him a villain you more than love to hate--you want to destroy. If you thought he was awful in Hush Money, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Bischoff unwaveringly ups the stakes for all the Talents in Fairview who all want to mobilize--and want Joss to lead them. As I read this book I laughed, I cried, and I changed my mind about fifty times about what kind of Talent *I* want because she kept introducing new cool ones. This is a must read for fans of superhero romance.

I love this book...

I really hope there's gonna be another one! Is there?

Super heros for this generation

Sweet romance, lots of fights with super bad guys. It's comics in novel form! I want more!!!

Great Story

So this sequel to Hush Money is great. There is an actual relationship between Dylan and Joss. Marco ups his game and shows us just how far he is willing to go. There are more fights and new villans. Joss still wants to help everyone and of course she always gets in trouble because of it, but Dylan is right there with her the whole time. They make a great team and I love their relationship.

Awsome

Is there going to be a third one?

First book was better

I'm about halfway through this book and wondering whether I should bother to finish. There are far too many fight scenes: very "left hook, right cross, left hook" style. In the first book, it was tolerable as it only really came up toward the end, but in this one, it feels like the main character is constantly looking for trouble, policing without any backup. I wouldn't mind her attitude if the writing didn't suffer during these scenes. There's a lot of action that would make for a good tv episode, but dull reading. I'd have liked more character work. We know Joss is socially inept; show us how she deals with this instead of restating the obvious. A survivor looks to compensate for inadequacies, and I'm not seeing enough of that. A last minute, sudden epiphany isn't going to make up for it.

Sadddd!

Im guessing this is the last book!!

LOVED IT MUST READ!!!"

This book is fast paced with a lot of action and some romance. It keeps you hooked till the very end. I think it was even better than the first book. Cant wait till the next one comes out.

The second book in the Talent Chronicles was so worth the wait. The relationship between Dylan and Joss is mesmerizing. I so can't wait until the next installment. This is a must read.

REALLY good! READ IT!!

I like this book because it tied together a lot of what happened in the first book Hush Money. If you like love, fighting, and pretty much anything else, I'd definitely recommend you read it.

Strong Second Book

Book stays true to the first in this series and to it's genre. Clean grammar and spelling, fast moving. Could use a little more direction; characters start to lose forward push towards the end, but this can be picked up easily in the next book.

Highly Recommended - you must check it out!!!

Waited for this book on pins and needles, and was not disappointed! Loved it! Definitely a series I think people of all ages would enjoy! Can't wait for more!

A strong new voice in YA Lit!

Susan Bischoff has created a cool new world for YA Lit. Super-Hero-type "Talents", romance, teen angst, comedy. She covers it all, with good characters that you can't help but root for! In a market flooded with vampires, werewolf's, fairies, etc., it's nice to have something new and fresh as The Talent Chronicles.

SO GOOD!

Lived up to my expectations, can't wait for the next one!!!

BookWhisperer Reviews Heroes til Curfew

Joss is a kick ass character that gained a lot respect from readers with nature leaders and heroine persona that was revealed Hush Money. Hereos 'til Curfew offers the same action packed and powerful read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. As the romance between Joss and Dylan accelerates in this book readers will relish in the developments that were lacking in Hush Money. As their love continues to grow Joss and Dylan will find that their lists of enemies are growing quickly. As desperate times call for desperate measures they will find themselves closer to be discovering discovered than ever before. Now they will have to decide if they have the power to be on the offensive and protect themselves. The ending of Heroes 'til Curfew will wrap up the story we began in Hush Money, as well as, set building blocks for more.

So worth the wait!

I was so looking forward to this book. I was not disappointed. In fact, I think the second book in the Talent Chronicles series is probably even better than the first! Ms. Bischoff, I think, has teenagers' thoughts and feelings down to an art. They were very believable characters and I was pulling for the good guys (and gals) through the whole story. Can't wait to read more about that this 'talented' group of kids. Joss and Dylan and a great couple and the perfect leaders for the group.

Bischoff Knocks Her Sophomore Novel Out of the Park!

With HEROES 'TIL CURFEW, Susan Bischoff has taken her Talent Chronicles series to an entirely new level. She took everything I loved about HUSH MONEY -- the charming narrative voices of Joss and Dylan, the complexity of her characters' relationships, and the realistic portrayal of how teens speak, act, and think -- and amplified it tenfold. We also got to see more of the NIAC, as well as glimpses of a new antagonistic force, the Mob-like Syndicate, and got a deeper insight into the thoughts of villain Marco (and if you hated Marco in HUSH MONEY, believe me, that's nothing compared to the visceral rage and disgust you'll feel toward him in this book).

I will say that this book is more adult than HUSH MONEY, and while I absolutely ADORED the raised stakes, some aspects might not be appropriate for younger readers, or at least not without discussion afterward! Even for me, one of the scenes late in the book between Joss and Marco was extremely difficult for me to read.

That aside -- and like I said, that "more adult" factor increased my enjoyment of HEROES, rather than diminishing it! -- I would heartily recommend this book to anyone and everyone. This series is some of the freshest, most original, most unpredictable YA series I've ever read. With a huge cast of complex characters, a central romance (Joss/Dylan) that is as realistic and romantic as it is undeniably HOT, and a rich narrative voice unlike any I've ever read, HEROES 'TIL CURFEW is a fantastic, unputdownable read!

Fantastic!

After reading Susan Bischoff's first book, Hush Money, I waited so long for the sequel to come out. When I first started reading Heroes 'Til Curfew, I thought "Hmm, this is going to be as good as Hush Money". Then I kept reading. As good as Hush Money was, Heroes 'Til Curfew was so much better. The author made me feel like I was right there with the characters, through all the action, the emotional scenes, and the suspense. This book was absolutely fantastic! If you buy this book, I promise you will NOT be disappointed. It totally rocks!
