My heart stopped. This guy…he couldn’t be real.

The floating man came closer, “It’s nice to finally meet you; you won’t believe the trouble you’ve caused us, running around unregistered.”

Unregistered?

“Now if you could just come with us and answer a few questions about you powers."

Powers?
                                                                                                           
It’s occurred to Theresa that maybe she shouldn’t have gone gallivanting across New York City, beating up bad guys and stopping robberies. Maybe if she had gone to parties when she snuck out instead, she wouldn’t have been approached by a group of, for lack of a better word...superheroes. 

                                                           ~

As a (nearly) sixteen year old girl, Theresa's worries should consist of making amazing summer plans and acing her next jujitsu exam. But when her father suddenly plants her family in the unfamiliar city of New York, she's stuck up a creek without a paddle. No friends and nothing to do leaves her one option and one option only: be a little adventurous. 

Unfortunately, Theresa's little adventure leaves her with a little mystery, a little confusion, and a whole lot of trouble. Thrown for another loop and jarred by the discovery of what appear to be...superheroes, Theresa is forced to live with her discovery and deal with the prejudice of being normal in a most certainly abnormal society. She's determined to finally earn the respect of these strange, strange people; but will regaining her pride come at the cost of her life?

The Starlight Sentinels: The Amusing Story of a Struggling Superhero Team di JGrayDingler
8 parti Completa
A man, a woman, a boy, a girl, a demon, and an alien, all walk into a bar... THEY FIGHT CRIME! The Starlight Sentinels goes beyond The Watchmen's question of "Who would want to be a superhero?" by asking "Who would want to be a superhero if being a superhero was just another job people needed doing?" The Starlight Sentinels, that's who! They're not your traditional superhero team, and they're not the other guys either, nor are they the grizzled antihero type. Instead, they're just people who happen to work as superheroes in a world where being a superhero isn't so much a call to greatness as it is an eccentric career choice and super villains are just another problem that people try not to think about. Drawing inspiration from films such as Shawn of the Dead and TV series such as the Venture Bros, the Starlight Sentinels was crafted to be an amusing and occasionally action-packed adventure grounded by a diverse cast of humorous but relatable characters. You may laugh at their numerous missteps, but you'll also be cheering for these heroes and heroines hard-earned triumphs as well. Join this comedic costumed cabal in their debut adventure as they fight crime and battle the forces of evil anytime they're not stuck filling out forms for the police, trying to appease their overbearing corporate sponsor, struggling to gain recognition from an apathetic public, or arguing over whose turn it is to do the shopping in this hilarious tongue-in-cheek tale that takes on all things superhero! If you enjoy the first half of The Starlight Sentinels, you can pick up the full book on every major eBook seller, or order a printed copy from Amazon or Createspace.

*** "*Sobs* I'm so happy to have a character that's exactly like me." - @TakenUsernameSoz. "This story is so normal that it's unique; a breath of fresh air! Gives us normal girls hope, hi hi!" - @LocalSlayer "This book is seriously my inspiration to not be afraid to show who I am." - @Who_Says_Duh "THAT IS SO ME!!!!! IS THIS SOME TYPE OF VOODOO, MAGICAL BOOK OR SOME SHIT?!?!" - @ThePanther10101. *** Let's face it, none of those cliché situations from movies between a guy and a girl ever happen in real life. I'm not going to end up accidentally bumping into my future husband in a café, spilling a latte over him. I'm not going to go up to some random stranger and ask him for directions and he'll become mesmerised by the colour of my eyes and fall in love with me. The window of my bedroom doesn't happen to be situated opposite to that of a 'bad boy neighbour'. I was daydreaming, again. Something I do on a daily basis. Nothing different, right? Well, let's just say I didn't snap out of my little 'trance' until I saw a guy waving frantically at me, smiling. Oh shit, he's hot. He probably thinks I was checking him out. Great, now he's coming over. Kill me. *** • Highest rankings: #1 in Modeling - #1 in Awkward - #3 in Humor.
