I am filled with such a biter sweetness over this trilogy coming to an end, but I honestly could not have envisioned a better way for Nicky's story to be wrapped up. Especially after that TERRIBLE cliffhanger book two ended on?? It is eventually resolved, and OH BOY IS THAT A DOOZY.

One of my all time favorite aspect's of Klune's writing is his ability to make me want to pass away from secondhand embarrassment for his characters, and Nicky. Sweet, sweet Nicky is so. damn. embarrassing. I'm one hundred percent sure I read at least 20% of this book through my fingers because I was MORTIFIED. I adore him.

Nicky and Seth also are just so incredibly soft and still very much in love in this book and I just think that's neat. I have loved watching Nick and Seth figure things out from book one, and seeing them together with their entire little mismatched found family kicking ass in this book is just SO MUCH. Also, can we just talk about my excessive amount of love for the Dad Squad and their mission to embarrass their children? Because, I LOVE. SO MUCH. Also, Burrito Jerry. Oh man, are ya'll gonna love Burrito Jerry.

Truly, this was such a joy and the best way I could see things ending for Team Lighthouse. I'm so excited to have this complete trilogy on my shelves.

I was so thrilled to get an ARC of this one, and holy s*** I loved it, just like I knew I would.
It was the perfect ending to a fantastic trilogy. (I wouldn't mind this turning into a life-long series, please!)
Queer superheroes, crazy villains, adorable love stories, and beautiful friendships... what more could you possibly want?
So grab a cold drink and get ready for the Heat Wave guys... because it's time to burn!

This was a great conclusion to The Extraordinaries series. The series wrapped up nicely, with the characters really coming into themselves. The epilogue was perfect and really showed the character growth in a short chapter. I would love to see mini-stories of some of the villain's that Guardian and Pyro-Storm face during the time between the end of the book and the epilogue. Anything that includes Nick's banter is A+ in my book!

I was very excited to be able to read Heat Wave, reviews are my own.

I loved how everything wrapped up, and spoiler alert...there's a flash forward at the end which made me even more excited. Trying not to spoil anything, but I love this group of nerdy friends!!

In the finale of The Extraordinaries, Nick and Seth team up to protect Nova City. While it's hard for me to write a full review without spoiling the previous plot points of the series, I can say Heat Wave is a fitting and uplifting end to the trilogy. I found the first half more engaging, with the mystery, and the threat. I wish a little more had been done with Owen through the trilogy, to make his role in this book a little more impactful. Sometimes I felt there were so many characters, it was hard to tell whose relationships I was meant to be investing in most, so it's hard for me to say whether one aspect was over- or under-developed. Overall, I really enjoyed the series as a whole and it's definitely worth trying out if you haven't already, especially if you enjoy sweet, funny characters in a contemporary setting with superhero themes.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of 'Heat Wave'. These opinions are my own.

Thank you so much, NetGalley, Macmillan-Tor/Forge and Tor Teen, fior the chance to read and review one of my most anticipated reads of 2022 in exchange of an honest review.

When an unexpected hero returns to Nova city and in Nick's life, everything is turned upside down and with the help of old and new friends, Nick will have to fight for the truth and freedom.
When Burke decides to become major of Nova City, threatening the Extraordinaries lives with hate and violence, Nick, Seth, Gibby and Jazz decide to get back in action, but they are not alone. Helped by their magnificents parents and relatives, the Dad Squad, Lighthouse and new friends on the way, they are more than ready to fight for their own rights to life and fight. And when Owen decides to get back in their lives...everything becomes more and more complicated.

Heat Wave is the thrilling and brilliant finale of The extraordinaries trilogy and I loved every single page of it. Hilarious, witty and extraordinary, this book made me swoon, laugh out loud and smile so much my cheeks still hurt. Like always Nick is a wonderful main character, with his energy and big heart, his relationship with his father and friends, his love with Seth and he's a great narrator. I devoured this book, I couldn't stop reading it, worrying and hoping for the best and TJ Klune delivered a story about love and family impossible not to love and cherish.
This book is hilarious, sweet and some moments are so impressed in my mind I will laugh about them years from now, I already now that.
A wonderful and epic conclusion of one of my favourite trilogy, a story about being hero, love and family. Nick, Seth, Gabby and Jazz will be forever in my heart and I love them so much. They deserve the whole world.

There was no way I was going to be able to wait until July to read this book so big thank you to net galley for letting me read it early!

This series has been one of my favs for a few reasons
1) it’s freaking hilarious no other book has made me laugh as hard as this one did
2) the character relationships. Jazz, Ginny, Seth, and nick have some of the best friend ship chemistry I have ever read. I loved team lighthouse and especially loved how all of the parents were involved
3) the epilogue. I CRIED SO HARD. It felt like the end of an era for me but I’m gonna miss these characters so much

This book definitely covered some more serious topics like police brutality and child abuse.

I love the whole plot of these stories and would definitely recommend.

Heat Wave picks right up where Flash Fire left off.

The crew is trying to enjoy the summer after the disastrous prom that revealed Seth’s powers and Nick’s mom.

The threat from Simon Burke still looms as his rhetoric against Extraordinaries gains popularity in his mayoral campaign. His son, Owen or ShadowStar also seems to be biding his time before making a move.

Nick and Seth are in love, the friend group and parents are right, but something intent quite right.

What is causing the feeling of confusion and unease among The Lighthouse?

A satisfying conclusion to the series. Relationships deepen, there’s an epic battle, loose ends are tied up and we get a happily ever after.

As a Klunatic love the little call outs to his other books throughout.

This finale for The Extraordinaries series definitely lived up to my expectations! This finale was full of action and wrapped up everything really nicely, in my opinion! Like the other books in this series, this book was hilarious! I literally laughed so hard I was brought to tears multiple times. It also had its emotional moments, which also made me cry without the laughter as my heart felt for these characters. In addition, the action was great and kept me constantly reading to know what happened next. The relationships this series has created have been one of my favorite aspects of these books, and this one was no-less. I love these characters so much and have enjoyed this ride with them. Overall, I felt this was a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy and highly recommend it to those who have enjoyed the series thus far!

Thank you, Tor Teen, for allowing me to read Heat Wave early.

I requested the conclusion of this series because I liked The Extraordinaries but didn't love it. I liked Flash Fire a bit more, hoped there would be an upward trend, and that I would ending up loving Heat Wave. Sadly, I didn't. I found the final book of this series, just like The Extraordinaries okay but that's it. This is my personal opinion, and I believe many students will adore this series. I especially recommend these books to those who love high school super hero stories.

I just knew this book would be amazing going in, TJ Klune hasn’t disappointed me yet 😩🤚🏻 This for sure exceeded my expectations. The friendships and bonds between the characters are just perfection. (The dad squad + lighthouse ??? Pls I love it so much hahshdhd ). There is also such a genuine and sweet relationship between Nick Bell and his father. There’s so much growth between the two of them and they are always there to support each other <3 ALSO Nick Bell and Seth are soooo cute together oh my god. Complement each other perfectly. Not gonna lie, I pretty much binged this whole book in one sitting. IT WAS SO FUNNY BUT CUTE AND AAAAAAH. (Wow watch me repeat myself 20 million times in this review). I don’t want to talk much about the plot -to avoid spoilers-but gah I just loved the superhero aspects so so much. All those high stakes scenes for sure kept me on my toes !!!

So happy I was able to read this amazing trilogy <333 Thank you so much to the author and publishing company for the advanced readers copy :D

It's a really good conclusion, with a twist that I didn't see coming! I'm glad I read this, the side characters just pop so much and I love that there's just as much focus on family and friendship as Seth and Nick's relationship.
