This cover for the upcoming release Blaze (or Love in the Time of Supervillans) by Laurie Broyle Crompton recently caught my attention while I was prowling through Goodreads. First off, I’m obsessed with the font, which is what stopped me in my tracks even before the awesome image of the main characters funky two toned hair blowing in the wind. The cover is fresh, the title of the book is amazing and the story that accompanies it? Well read on and tell me it doesn’t already have you hooked.
Blaze is tired of spending her life on the sidelines, drawing comics and feeling invisible. She’s desperate for soccer star Mark to notice her. And when her BFF texts Mark a photo of Blaze in sexy lingerie, it definitely gets his attention. After a hot date in the back of her minivan, Blaze is flying high, but suddenly Mark’s feelings seem to have been blasted by a freeze-ray gun, and he dumps her. Blaze gets her revenge by posting a comic strip featuring uber-villain Mark the Shark. Mark then retaliates by posting her “sext” photo, and, overnight, Blaze goes from Super Virgin Girl to Super Slut. That life on the sidelines is looking pretty good right about now…
Blaze (or Love In The Time Of Supervillans) will be released February 1, 2013. Purchase your copy here.
