Not Another Superhero (The Another Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Tara Lynn Thompson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 60 ratings

Not Another Superhero is a fun, fast-paced mystery romance that always leaves you wanting more. You’ll fall in love with Samantha Addison, a smart, snarky journalist turned puff-piece editor who’s hiding from the injuries of her past.



Starting with a harrowing scene in which Samantha is attacked by a mugger in an alley, our heroine’s razor-sharp sarcasm flies off the pages. You’ll discover that her wit is what keeps her going when this near-death experience turns out to be just the beginning of an all-out attack.



But who’s behind it?



Strangely, Samantha can’t remember how she managed to survive that initial brutal assault. Weirder still, a hooded man always appears and saves her just in the nick of time.



And why has Trevor Maessen, her former editor during her beat reporter days, picked this moment to show up after leaving her during a traumatic episode seven years earlier?



Amid all of this turmoil, the stoic Jackson Christy might be Samantha’s saving grace—or not.



Twists and turns, along with plenty of action, wit, and romance, make Not Another Superhero an irresistible chick-lit concoction you can’t put down!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Life is a great story, one that requires verbs, adjectives, and a few made-up words just to keep people guessing. I get a sharp, devious zing when I'm keeping people guessing.

From early on, during my way, way, way back days as a 19-year-old beat reporter, I’ve been confounding people with my descriptive writing. At first, I thought the confounding was a compliment. Mostly, I think they were annoyed.

“I don’t appreciate needing a dictionary when I sit down to read my paper, young lady,” one reader once complained, which only made me feel exuberant (adj., means “intensely happy”). It wasn’t that I had an abnormally, or even that impressive, vocabulary. I just loved mixing words into a heap of puzzle pieces and seeing who wanted to dive in and find the corner.

My early beginnings in print taught me many things, two of which I’ll point out now:

1) People are fascinating.

2) Writing rules are for the timid.

For over a decade, I honed my interviewing skills until I had developed a canny, if not at times creepy, way of reading people. Or at least observing them. Their personalities, quirks, oddities, passions, language, all of it I recorded in my head like an unhackable Cloud. One day I knew it would all come rushing back out again.

One day.

Throughout my career, as I migrated into the neatly stacked boxes of business communication, the unquenchable thirst of marketing strategy, and the tight squeeze of advertising writing, I never lost my love of the character. Of their story. And of their gripping adventure, if I could ever toss them into that heap of puzzle pieces.

This is my one day.

The Another Series, for me, is an adventure of love, honor, and danger, if it happened to the quirkiest girl in the neighborhood. She’s our heroine. And the culmination of what fear, doubt, and hesitation does to our life when we give it value. Or even a breath to speak.

She will, however, prove to us she’s an overcomer. But, first, she’s got to prove it to herself.

This book is engaging, suspenseful, delightful and entertaining. I loved Samantha's charming, courageous and witty personality. It was a pleasure to read! Tara Lynn has created a variety of unique and interesting characters with many interesting twists. I appreciated how classy and remarkable the book remained. This is a book that I have already recommended to many to read including some young adult readers. Thankfully the book has a very dynamic storyline but stays tasteful and enjoyable. I highly recommend Not Another Superhero! I am excited for the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I've ever read!

I absolutely loved this book! It is by far the best book I've ever read (and that's saying something considering I'm a complete bookworm and have been for decades). The author's writing is hilarious and had me laughing throughout the book while still leaving me hooked on the mystery. I'm so glad I accidentally stumbled onto it. It was so entertaining that I think I'm going to read it over again right now. I can't wait for the next book! Ms. Thompson please write more, and fast!

This was an easy read for a fun distraction. I live in Tulsa so it was also fun to see familiar streets and buildings make an appearance. The narrator was really funny to me, I liked her.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a ride!
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016

An engaging story that never skips a beat. The main character, Samantha, is so refreshing and real. She's intelligent, but oblivious, and has a quick and snarky wit that leaves you laughing even in the face of danger. I was so invested in what was going to happen next with this girl I couldn't put the book down. This story is like riding a roller coaster in the dark. When you get to the end, and the light is back on, you can finally breathe when you see how the story comes together. So you think...

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep and riveting read
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2017

What first seemed to be a light novel twisted and turned into a suspenseful plot that must be an allegory for something deeper. Samantha is a relatable and human heroine grew from a woman who did not realize her worth to a woman stumbling into her own truths. I kept relating her doubts and fears to many of my own. Plus, she is quirky and funny. If I were to compare the banter and plot in the book it would be something like Gilmore Girls funny wit meeting the cosmic battle of The show Supernatural. I was excited to see there is a sequel coming out soon.

Exciting and entertaining; definitely a great read!! I loved the witty dialogue and the heart of the story, and I also appreciated the spiritual undertones playing out in Jackson and Samantha's relationship -- it was a good reminder to trust God's plan and to step up and use the authority/power He gives us through Christ!

Great Read! It was a great new twist on a really good mystery. Lots of twists and turns - can't wait until her next book. Just finished a book review with the author herself. Tara Lynn is darling in real life, and it's no wonder I loved the book.
