Lara Landis has lost her job. Henry Nichols, also known as the superhero Glint, has lost his powers and has gone incognito. Now it’s Christmastime, and both of them have moved back home to the same small town to figure out who they are without the jobs they have loved. H. L. Burke uses familiar Hallmark holiday tropes with a superhero twist to explore questions of alter egos and life purpose. Heroic actions meet romantic comedy cuteness in this delightfully enjoyable light read.

Best for: Fans of superhero tales or romantic comedies.

Discern: Mild superhero violence, TV-movie-style romance.
