The Hero Complex
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?

About the Author

Helen Comerford is a Black mixed-race British debut author and is passionate about Black British and mixed heritage representation. She centres her diverse cast of characters in narratives they have historically been excluded from and celebrates their joys, strengths and everyday teenage experiences. She is fuelled by a love of all things super-powered, feminism, and chocolate raisins.

When she's not writing, you can find Helen hiking around the Welsh countryside with her dog, Cocoa. The Love Interest is her debut novel.
