So excited to be part of the cover reveal for the upcoming YA novel “Dear Henchman”, which is the the sequel to “Dear Hero” by Hope Bolinger and Alyssa Roat. It’s coming out on May 4th, and it sounds absolutely amazing. I mean, if there is one group of people who are criminally undervalued in books, it’s sidekicks/henchmen. So fun to see them getting some love and a chance in the sun. Have a look at this fun synopsis below and tell me this doesn’t sound absolutely fascinating, and so much fun!
Kevin and Himari didn’t plan to be heroes.
Henchmen and sidekicks aren’t supposed to fall in love. Or save the world. They’re supposed to brew coffee, take pics of their hero or villain for social media, and stay in the background.
That was sidekick-slash-frat boy Kevin and henchwoman-slash-tech genius Himari’s plan, until a taxidermy-collecting villain robs Kevin’s hero of his powers and leaves Himari’s villain wounded. Now it’s up to the sidekicks and henchies to save the world.
Without powers, they’ll go up against the Shadow Assassins (a deadly organization that can’t work a PowerPoint to save their lives), road trips-slash-kidnappings, and weird initiation rituals that may or may not involve singing campfire songs.
Himari and Kevin will battle the odds, their insecurities, and a strangely polite Midwestern villain as they discover if they have what it takes to profess their love through Mexican food metaphors—and save the world from a nuclear disaster.
If this has caught your imagination the way it’s grabbed mine, please consider supporting the authors and checking out their book on Goodreads, or preordering it on Amazon! If you haven’t yet read the first book in the series, “Dear Hero”, then I’ll leave a link to that one as well so you can catch up on the story so far before “Dear Henchman” drops on May 4th.
