About this listen
This must-hear adventure with a side of romance is for lovers of tough, jaded lesbian cops, superheroes and villains, and feisty retirees who don't take retirement lying down.
Agent Geena Fox is counting down the days to her retirement. On one bittersweet day six years ago, her team of superheroes defeated Jewel, the world's most evil villain - but Geena's secret lover died in the process. Now her boss has assigned her a rookie partner, Leigh Walker, and that's the last thing Geena needs. She sends the woman off on a wild-goose chase searching for a long-lost missing person to get her out of her sight. However, what Leigh finds will turn Agent Fox's world upside down.
Meanwhile, over in a retirement home in Missouri, four old women sharing the surname Power are arousing suspicion with their strange behavior. Their nosy nurse is convinced they are not what they seem. Geena and Leigh meet with the mysterious Powers, and realize the women might hold the key to stopping Jewel, once and for all.
Contains mature themes.

Unfortunately, it was also a space where they fell in love with a woman whose name they promised to forget. Leslie Brandt would like to forget the online sex chat group she joined on a whim. In real life, she's a successful realtor with a professional image to maintain. She'd never want anyone to know the kinky things she's fantasized about—even if maybe she wishes some of those things could actually happen.

Tess McBray was dying. The solstice syndrome had no cure, and she resigned herself to an early grave. But just when she gave up on survival, all her symptoms mysteriously disappeared. All but one symptom, anyway. Something is wrong with Tess’ hands. They absorb any material they touch, and her skin turns to wood, steel, or concrete. It doesn’t take this comic book obsessed 21-year-old long to figure out what’s going on: somehow, she’s developed super powers. And she’s not the only one; across the country, people are coming forward and sharing their gifts with the world.

Talented golfer Morgan Spencer has never won a major but it's so close she can taste it - no thanks to her sexist father, a golfing legend who won't even give her the time of day. Television producer Adrienne Wyatt has thrown herself into her career after her lover left her a year ago. She has a brilliant new plan: a documentary featuring Morgan's rise and rise, capitalizing on the young woman's star appeal. The main problem is that the reserved golfer treats Adrienne's plan like an invasion of privacy. The other issue is her growing feelings for the irritatingly attractive woman.

Brilliant story & narration!
I've listened to Abby Craden narrate lots of books. In this one she is STELLAR with the vast number of characters and different voices to tell the story. This book surprised me in the best way and I love all the plot twists that A.L. Brooks weaves throughout it.

Loved the book
Here is the truth, I love books with agents and soldiers and cops, but I am not keen on supper heroes. I love Abby Craden as narration, so I decided to get this book and I really enjoyed it.
AL Brooks created these lovely old ladies supper heroes, and Abby Craden gave them wonderful voices. The only voice I didn’t like was the very childish voice of agent walker.

Fun and imaginative
This was a really cute book. I listened to the audio version, and Abby Craden does an excellent job. I have no idea how she can do so many voices and not get confused. There are lots of characters and they all have their own histories and personalities. There are really two romances in play in this book and they're all so cute! This book made me laugh out loud several times. It's also exciting and has romantic bits, too. I loved the Power family and all their talents. I know the author isn't American although the book takes place in the US. There were a few Britishisms, which were a little distracting and mildly confusing. Just a fun adventure that's a little farfetched in a really enjoyable way!

Unusual, fun listen!
This was a very fun listen - and completely unique. Part of the Superheroines collection by Ylva Publishing authors, this story by A. L. Brooks focuses on a group of geriatric former superheroes that have since been put out to pasture in a Missouri retirement home. Their former handler Geena Fox, waiting out the days until she can retire from an unnamed federal agency, is stunned when a link from their past resurfaces - a significant one that conjures up old feelings and leads to a new adventure none of them saw coming.
On the surface, it may not seem a story like this would have mass appeal, but really - it was quite entertaining. Especially in the care of Abby Craden who really outdoes herself. The sheer number of characters she is required to perform - each with their own unique voice - was astounding. And as usual - she nailed it. Especially the four cantankerous older women - a few of whom curse like sailors. Some of the things coming out of their mouths had me laughing out loud. This a large and varied cast - not everyone is of the older variety. There is a young rookie agent assigned to Fox who gets more than she bargained for in her new job, a young nurse from the retirement home that becomes part of the team and several other peripheral characters. Additionally, there are a few sweet romances that come into play, secondary to the main story.
This is a superhero story unlike any I've seen before so if you think you might enjoy that, or are a fan of Craden's and want to appreciate her mad skills, give this one a try.
