This was such a good book i was actually SO surprised how much i loved it!! I was laughing at so many parts in this book and i really enjoyed the wonderful representation for mental health throughout this book! I could not put this book down and i highly recommend everyone to read it so i can yap with everyone about it!

Lilly was such an interesting character but i also really connected with her and the anxiety she had. The character development throughout this book was gorgeous and the writing was so good! The spice was done really good as well and im glad it only played a small part in the plot.

I NEED the second book!!

Oh my goodness, this book totally took my heart and gave it a joyful squeeze! Honestly, if you loved show “The Boys”, you’re going to find a new best friend in this book.

From the first page, I was swept away into a world where superheroes zip through the skies and humans are just trying not to trip over their capes!

CM Tillman creates a vibrant universe where Supers reign supreme, leaving regular folks like Lily scrambling for their place. The humor is sharp, and the dialogue flows with a natural wit that kept me giggling through every chapter. Lily is such a relatable character, her struggles in a world filled with dazzling heroes made me cheer for her every step of the way.

Now let’s talk about Athos…oh Athos!
He’s charming and swoon-worthy, and let’s just say, after reading about his one-night stand with Lily, I might have needed a fan to cool down! Their chemistry is electric, and the funny banter between them had me laughing out loud. I’ve got to admit, I was secretly cheering for their success, even if it meant a few bumps and heroic fails along the way.

What I loved most was how Tillman played with the idea of fame and success in this unique world. The plot twists had me grinning like a Cheshire cat! Just when I thought I had it all figured out, something unexpected happened, and I was flipping pages faster than my dog can chase his tail.

I can’t share too much since this is an ARC, but let me tell you, I was on the edge of my seat as the plot unfolded. There are surprising twists and turns that will have you gasping and laughing in equal measure.

If you’re looking for a book that’ll make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even warm your soul, grab this book when it drops on January 2, 2025. I promise you won’t regret it!

As soon as I heard The Boys meets dark fantasy, I was SOLD and Gilded Hero did not let me down! There were many moments in this book that made me laugh out loud, right from the first chapter. Not to mention the exceptional representation of mental health. When our FMC had a panic attack, I felt that deep and I had a hard time putting this book down. I loved the unique world and take on a superhero-laden world which I haven't seen in fantasy books lately and I'm so happy I stumbled across this one. It was new and refreshing, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. AND THEN THE ENDING, CM TILLMAN I DON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT ENDING. I am absolutely ravenous for the next book, I need to know wtf Athos is doing and where this is going.
