A Hero in Hiding by Alice Winters

5.0

When Alice announced we were getting a second book in this crazy universe I was pumped! A Villian for Christmas is one of my favorite Alice books because of the outright hilarity of it all. I mean the city's beloved superhero falling in love with a supervillain. One who comes with the most insane family I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. The fact that we get some SAVCGEM moments in this book was also a real treat. I never know what those crazies are going to think up next. And the supervillain names! I died!

I love that Landon and August are still going strong. They may not be a normal couple, no matter what they think, but what they do have works for them. I never doubt that if one needs the other, whoever it is would move heaven and earth to be there for the other. AND WE GET AUGUSTS POV!!!!! This made me incredibly happy since we only got to be inside Landon's head in book 1. In addition to Lex, Landon and August have added two more supers to their merry band of somethings. Deus is quite the character. I don't even have words to describe him, and it was also apparent neither did our MCs.


“This is Deus. He’s our…” I glance at August, not exactly positive what he is.

“Entertainment,” August decides on.

“Yes, entertainment.”



The biggest surprise was the addition of Ellison to their friend group. I did NOT see that coming. Neither did I see coming what I hope is going to be a future book couple either. I mean I've already been chomping at the bit for Lex and Nolan. Now I have two couples I need Alice to write. This series is just so much fun. I swear Landon and I would make great friends. I hope to see more books in this world to come!
