League of Lesbians: Origins

Book Club is just supposed to be about books right? Then how come these six readers wake up after book club talking about something other than books?

Wren leads a monthly Book Club of six women (including her). They meet every month at a coffee shop central for everybody when one month they arrive to find that their meeting room has been rented to someone else. Frustrated and angry the ladies get ready to leave when a sexy lady in red heels steps in to save the day. Gale is house-sitting for her boss and is bored, lonely, and would love the company. The ladies after some debate take Gale up on her offer and soon they are getting in Gale's van and driving off to a gorgeous house in a suburban neighborhood. Gale starts pouring drinks, everyone is chatting about the book, and soon everyone is feeling the effects of the drinks. The next morning everyone wakes up in their own beds with no memory of the night before, but feeling slightly different.

I have to confess that I bought this book because of the cover without even reading the blurb (laugh). I just loved the cover and thought it was unique and anybody who picked such a unique cover had to have a story that was just as unique and I was right. Authors Em Stevens and Jea Hawkins and the League of Lesbians: Origins is the superhero book I have been waiting for, though the authors state that not every character is going to be a hero (hmmmmm). I interacted with the authors on Twitter and Hawkins credits Stevens for picking out the cover and it worked because I bought it. The story dragged me in and I already have my favorites and once I read that not everyone is going to be a hero - my heart stopped. I think we need to make a fan club, a board to talk about theories...and I am geeking out. The authors did what writers do best, they made me care about the characters and want to continue on their journey with them. I cannot wait for the next book (which I already bought as I got them both at the same time (laugh)). I hope you join me on this adventure and geek out with me, because this looks like a fun ride - I hope they make t-shirts because I so want to be heroine in the League of Lesbians. Just saying (hint).
