Fandemic (The Bigtime Series Book 5)

Love this story, Piper is great, nice to see her happy.

Was nice to see someone finally acknowledging how obvious all the superheros are.

Piper Perez has always wanted to be a superhero. Since she has no abilities she focuses on the facts, figures, and memorabilia of the superheroes. She knows everything there is to know about each superhero, including some superheroes real identities. When a supervillan starts killing Bigtime’s heroes and villains she is determined to help stop him, especially since Swifte seems like the next target.This one was fun. I liked Piper because she is just an ordinary human who uses her knowledge of superhero’s abilities to thwart the villain. She was smart, kind, and just a great heroine overall. I do wish we had seen more discussion about her and Swiftie’s relationship because I felt that they made up very quickly.Swiftie’s alter ego wasn’t a surprise. I had figured his identity out in book one. I do really wish we had gotten Switfite’s POV during some of this book. Winter’s alter ego was a surprise though because she hasn’t been mentioned much so I never would have considered her. I really enjoyed the fact that it was the return of an old villain and that there is finally a concrete conclusion with him.Overall, a great addition to the series. I believe this is the last book but you never know if Estep will surprise us with a new one.

The Spider series is excellent, well written and scripted and has occasional references to products from this Bigtime series (a crossover would be an interesting short story/novella). But while Spider is dark and gritty, Bigtime is very much pulled from the comic book genre (a childhood addiction, I must admit); a bit lighter, some romantic overtones, lighter plots, but very enjoyable for unwinding from life's stresses. Reading them in order eliminates a little confusion, but isn't strictly necessary (mixed up a couple, no harm). I am always willing to check out any of Jennifer Estep's writing, be it novel, novella, or short story; she hasn't disappointed me yet.

5 starsVery good novella. Always nice to have stories about superheroes. Liked that Piper was able to save the day. Hope that she will get some superpowers too. Congratulations to Piper and Kyle on their engagement.Would like to see more of the other superheroes and villains in Bigtime.Can't wait to read more Bigtime books!!!!Would recommend to fans of superheroes!!!!!!
