Karma Girl by Jennifer Estep
The first book in a three-book series is rather our favorite of the trio. It a grown up comic book-type read that's a tractor beam for gals who loved Wonder Woman and Batman and all the other superhero magic on Saturday mornings.
Carmen Cole reveals the identities of superheroes she feels are lying to everyone in the city of Bigtime. Striker is the city's sexiest crime fighter around. Trouble is, he might have a crush on the gal trying to expose his biggest secret -- his identity.
