For the first time, Lois Lane has almost everything she wants. Non-temporary home? Check. Dream job? Double check. Incredible BFFs? The absolute best. And now, her online crush, SmallvilleGuy, is coming to Metropolis. If all goes well, they ll turn their long-distance friendship into a some-kind-of-fairy-tale romance. But when does all ever go well? Before she can check boyfriend off her list, Lois must take down a mad scientist plus a trio of mutant teens, protect the elusive flying man from the feds (including her dad), and navigate her very first date with SmallvilleGuy. In the follow-up to FALLOUT and DOUBLE DOWN, Gwenda Bond s reimagination of DC Comics s first leading lady takes on her toughest challenge yet: Love. Praise for the Lois Lane series: "A must read for comics fans and mystery enthusiasts alike." Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW "Bond maintains the rapid-fire pace, witty banter, and clever allusions that made Fallout (2015) a winner, at the same time exploring thought-provoking ethical issues through Lois' whip-smart and sometimes socially awkward persona. Wonderful details abound, including the usage of a clippings file--a nice touch in the age of Internet research. Superhero fans wishing for a fuller backstory on Superman's love interest will find it hard to wait for the sequel, which seems like a sure thing." Booklist "One can't help comparing Bond's Lois to TV's Veronica Mars and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yet given the DC Comics character's long tradition of ass-kickery, it's more accurate to compare Veronica and Buffy to her. ... It's not a bird, it's not a plane, it's Lois Lane, boldly following clues wherever they lead, taking readers along for a thrilling ride."
