Queeroes 2

Queeroes #2

by Steven Bereznai

In the sequel to Steven Bereznai's action-packed (and muscle-packed) adventure story featuring high school students gifted with superhuman powers, the town of Nuffim is once more the scene for mayhem. Gorgeous Troy Allstar has come out of the closet, but that doesn't mean his life is about to get any easier. An empath, able to influence the emotions of everybody around him, he'll need all his abilities trying to navigate life...and deadly dangers that seem like coincidence but are just part of a new threat's dastardly plan. Can Troy and his friends-his geeky younger brother who is thrust into dating for the first time; his boyfriend Chad who is catty in demeanor and form whenever he wants; Mandy, the head cheerleader who has taken to stealing-save the day? Or will they just be another bunch of pop heroes that goes from front page phenom to the obits.

About the author

Bestselling, award-winning author, Steven Bereznai is known for writing speculative fiction that can be a little dark, but always fast, fun, and fierce. Drawing on his own experience as an Achillean neurodivergent outsider, his heroines and heroes often get beaten down, but, bruises and all, they find a way to stagger across the finish line.

From Steven:
"I came out in my late teens and feeling like an outsider has deeply impacted my sensibility. I love writing that combines sass, heart, speculative fiction, and (where appropriate) abs. Basically, shows like Buffy, Teen Wolf and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power."

Love this book:) such a fun read looking forward to more tales

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun superhero book. I have to give it 4.5 stars due to the spelling errors which appeared all the way through. I like that it left an opening for a third book in the series.

This book was received as an ARC from Jambor in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I have not read the first installment of the Queeroes series but from reading Queeroes 2, I did enjoy the adventure and the characters from each story. This book was new and different and not your typical YA superhero adventure story which is the exact reason why our YA enthusiasts at our library will have an open mind while reading this book. Incorporating new romances and old encounters from the past made this book so much interesting and there were twists everywhere you turn which made this book even more exciting.

We will consider adding this title to our YA collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

What the very first book had very exciting this one lacked.
unfortunately this was pretty boring reading , the author dragged the story for way too long it just wasn’t good.

[Daniel Hand · Rating 3 out of 5]

I thought it was a good follow up to the first one. Very curious if there will be a third.

[Jason Gallina · Rating 5 out of 5]

excellent follow up, interesting new characters and great to see old ones developed.

[Robyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was not a fan of the lesbians vs gays motif of this sequel but it maintained the sass and banter of the first book. The drama ramped up from high school level bullying to defining what makes a supervillain. Ultimately I’m still interested to see where the author takes the cliffhanger.

3.75 Stars

A more complex plot than the first book. A lot of fun to read. Things do not quite seem to all add up until a plot twist makes it all come together in the end.

[Damian Serbu · Rating 5 out of 5]

The second is just as fun as the first! Funny, snappy, well written. One problem: it goes so fast, I want more!!
