The Brightest Blaze
Not yet published
Expected 10 Mar 26The Vector City Supers trilogy concludes with Sadie and Joan’s relationship being tested like never before.
Being a hero can sometimes really blow.
Sadie Eagan has everything she’s always a stable relationship with her superpowered girlfriend, her dream café, great friends. She also has self-doubt about running her own business and wonders when she’ll stop faking it ’til she makes it. And what’s with the odd distance between her and Joan?
Joan Malone knew there would be growing pains now that she’s one of Vector City’s Superheroes. All the grunt work she has to do as Spark is much more stressful than her days in villainy (so many SuperWatch claims). Conflicting schedules means less time and snuggles with Sadie. Plus her twin brother’s acting weird, her old friends are hiding things, and she feels like she’s losing control.
A group of norms who want to restrict the use of superpowers tries to gain access to power-suppressing technology. They’re also getting more vocal in their disdain and demands. Sadie wants to support Joan and the Supers but struggles with how to go about it. Joan’s trying not to be framed or blamed for her past. It doesn’t help that a Hero from another city has gone rogue to save the world by any means necessary.
Sadie’s learning how to own her power while Joan can’t quite embrace change. Their future is hindered by the threat of external forces and, okay, how hard it is to open up about feelings. They’ll have to fight side by side for themselves and each other to keep their love blazing bright.

I have loved the journey that Sadie, our “norm” café owner and bad-ass business owner, and Joan, our villain turned superhero, from the first page of book 1.
Watching Sadie fall for Joan, while Joan initially resisted, was great. Watching them grow and move in together was beautiful.
And now, seeing what they went through in book three? Our girls deserve a little bit of a break.
There is a group in this book (Citizens for Human Power) that hits a little close to home in the US, but Sadie does something I'm sure a lot of us wish we could do to a certain someone.
The chemistry between Sadie and Joan has always been explosive (pun intended 😅🔥), and I highly doubt Sadie will ever see her office the same way again.
Honestly, this book was a fun ride, even with the lower feeling moments.
If you like quirky, fun, gripping stories with characters who are like family, please snag all three Vector City Supers books. You'll be so glad that you did.

Great Book 3 in the Vector City Supers Series!
The superhero world never sleeps, but neither does everyday life.
Sadie and Joan go about their daily lives. Truths are spoken and revealed, and the two find ways to become even stronger as a couple.
But there's no shortage of challenges that test them.
Spark's doubts about her role as a hero are ever-present, and new ones keep arising.
She doesn't feel good enough in this role…
It's about finding your place, for everyone in this group, not just Sadie and Joan.
A new challenge awaits, and they will overcome it, as always.
Thank you very much for the ARC to the whole Team.

It was really nice to catch up with Sadie and Joan and the rest of the Vector City crew! I enjoyed seeing Sadie and Joan in an established relationship. Don't get me wrong, a cute butterflies romance is always a good time, but changing things up and reading about the daily challenges of an established couple was a nice change of pace.
This addition to the series focuses on a group determined to suppress the Supers and treat them as lesser than humans. It's a fun superhero story tackling heavy topics in a palatable way.

I don’t want it to end!! The Vector City series has brought me so much joy and I’m delighted I got to read the finale of this amazing trilogy. Sadie + Joan forever!
If you’re looking for a romance with an established couple, look no further. It’s great to follow their relationship through the series. Plus the superhero angle adds so much excitement to the story.
