Publisher's summary

What’s a comic book writer’s life without a real-life archnemesis?

MG Martin thought she’d turned the last page on the dangerous Golden Arrow case. The bad guys are behind bars, and the rest is up to her detective boyfriend, Matteo Kildaire. But when Golden Arrow impersonators start popping up all over Los Angeles, the writer in MG can’t help but be intrigued. Are they impostors, or has the original Golden Arrow returned for another story arc?

A reemergence of drug crime has left the LAPD baffled, and golden arrows are once again being left at crime scenes. Matteo asks MG if she’ll resume consulting on all things geek, and she jumps at the opportunity. No need to mention that she may also do some sleuthing, with her friends’ help, right?

It’s rumored that the Golden Arrow will make a guest appearance at an exclusive queen party, and MG, Lawrence, and Ryan go undercover to sniff out the truth. But the sting goes sideways in a deadly way, and it’s up to their little crew to prove that the Golden Arrow might actually be the supervillain they’re chasing. Because looks can be deceiving, and every good writer knows the sequel is where the real plot twist happens…

comtastic

I was not sure what to think at the start of the story, but it soon became so brain teasing with all the twists and turns.

Fun and thrilling!

It’s a fun, geeky way to fulfill my need for thrillers! The character development is amazing as well.

AMAZING!

I loved this story and the charecters. I would be listening and literally laughing out loud. Amazingly well written! Can't wait to read for more by this artist. I will definitely listen to this series again!

Full of Surprises!

I loved the first book in this series and was so excited when the sequel came out that I bought the book and audio book at the same time. I took my time with it because I didnt want it to end. It did not disappoint! I can't wait to see what happens with everyone in the next installment!

Good story

I listened to this one immediately after the first. Another great story with familiar characters.

Great read!

So fun and nerdy! I loved the narrator, and following along with the mystery and romance from book 1.

More and Less of the same, saved by narrator

MG and the gang are back with their drag shows, cosplay, comic books, and pop culture references. It's more of the same in this second entry of her series, and it's also less, with almost no focus beyond the broad plot point of trying to find the real Golden Arrow from among a bunch of copycats. If The Frame Up left me not really caring about the core mystery, this one left me scratching my head trying to figure what the mystery was.

But as with The Frame Up, that's neither here nor there. This is ultimately a book about MG and her pop culture references, and it once again hinges on the narration of Andrea Emmes -- who once again knocks it out of the park as the snarky purple-haired nerd. But it will still be a love it or hate it proposition, and with all of her insecure whining about her commitment to her boyfriend, the balance could tip toward the latter.

Excellent listen

I like the combo of mystery, humor, romance, and interesting characters.The.se books are very unique.

The Scooby Gang is back at it again!

If enjoyed The Frame Up, you will love this sequel! Full of sleuthing, action, romance, and geeky references, this book was a fun ride and I hope we’re getting a third book!

A wonderful and surprising seriesHey very surprising and refreshing new series.

I A refreshingly surprising new series.
I stumble upon the first one as a discount audiobook.
And I was happy to see at the time that I completed the first book that the second one was just released.
I do hope that the author continues in the superhero Realm.
