This title involves a forensic accountant whose parents happen to be superheroes -- the father remarkably strong, the mother capable of producing extreme heat. The plot is involving, but the main character -- unlike say Doctor Impossible from "Soon I Will Be Invisible," seems closer to a ChickLit heroine than an existential warrior. She does, however, through her efforts to convict her parents' mortal enemy of tax evasion, acquire some depth when she finds her true crime-fighting path and the secrets behind her parents' identity (as well as those of their superhero pals). Vaughn throws in a few good plot twists, particularly in regards to a police detective she begins to date (the mayor's son). It's short, fast and plucky, but not as deep as some other novels in the genre.
