About this ebook

A quick, enjoyable superhero read - Brian K. Morris

When a clone threatens to tear her city apart, can a failed superhero rise to the challenge?

Grace Grey has a secret. She is the only known real-life superhero, Beacon, though most know her only as a police tip line operator. After losing a loved one during her first major defeat at the hands of the supervillain, Arson, Grace hung up her suit. But when a laboratory experiment goes wrong, creating a homicidal Beacon clone who threatens to tear the city apart, only the real Beacon can stop her. Now, Grace must overcome her tragic past, reclaim her reputation, and save her beloved city - and herself.

If you enjoyed the thrilling action of Marissa Meyer's Renegades, you'll love the intense suspense and heroic journey of Grace Grey in Beacon - The Hero of Heartland.

I really enjoyed this quick read about a superhero. It reads like a origin story and introduces Grace and explains how she became a superhero and about a nemesis or two. I really liked the story and was sad when I reached the end. Ups and downs and surprises made it fun to read.
