Blurb from Goodreads:

 Kate Bishop's Hawkeye is still figuring out how to be a Super Hero—and a functioning human being—in this thrilling YA mystery adventure that has her crossing paths with some of the Marvel Universe's greatest heroes—and most dangerous villains.

When Kate Bishop, the young Hawkeye, solves a minor crime and saves the surprisingly cute Milo in the process, she counts it as a rare win. But a mix-up of their bags means that nope, Kate's life is still refusing to run smoothly. In that bag is a mysterious book that holds powerful, dangerous secrets—ones that New York City's most powerful super villain, the Kingpin, would kill to uncover.

Kate finds herself on the run, searching for Milo and what he knows, texting her Super Hero besties for moral support, and trying to solve the mystery she's blundered into before she becomes the victim of her own story. 

Just like its main character, Kate Bishop, Ashley Poston's Super Hero adventure doesn't miss a single shot in one of the funniest, twistiest Marvel stories ever told.

My Review:

 *I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. My thanks to NetGalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide*

 

Kate Bishop may have bitten off more than she can handle when stopping a small crime leads to Kate crossing paths with none other than Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin.

Kate is on the clock as she tries to stop Kingpin from finding and using the deadly secret hidden in a beloved children's book series to destroy his enemies.

As a fan of the character of Kate Bishop and having enjoyed some of the author's previous books, I was intrigued to see what this novel would be like.

Kate was a likeable and relatable protagonist. She was funny and wanted to help people.

As well as Kate, I also enjoyed seeing more of Lucky the Pizza Dog, and America Chavez who I knew less about. I liked Kate's relationship with both of them.

The plot was enjoyable and held my attention, but I was never gripped. Nothing that happened was particularly surprising or shocking, but I found the book to be a fun read.

Overall, this was an enjoyable read.
