I Did NOT Give That Spider Superhuman Intelligence!

Be warned! This is a prequel to the Please Don't Tell My Parents series, so it might not make much sense unless you have read some of that series. That out of the way. Irene is a retired superhero, well sort of retired. She had a very bad experience with a super-villain several years back, but when she hears a cry in a back alley, she comes to the rescue and gets introduced to Mish Mosh, Bluejay, and Pysychopomp. Team Tiny get formed and they are off to save the world. And a strange saved it turned out to be as it involves dueling heroes and villains, giant, super-intelligent spiders, criminal gangs, spandex, and the birth of a criminal enterprise. And Irene had fun most of the time! Another good read from Richard Roberts!

This is a prequel to Richard's 'Please Don't Tell My Parents' Series, which I hadn't read before this one as I didn't realise it was related to those books.

Even though I hadn't read the series I could follow this book perfectly and found it a very enjoyable and easy read. It has definitely made me want to read the complete series, which I will be doing once my TBR list has been reduced a bit.

I think that if you have read the other books you would probably enjoy it a lot more as I can imagine there are lots of hidden jokes and loose ends it would tie up for you

After retiring from being a superhero, Goodnight gets drawn into the superhero world once more when Mish-Mosh, a human-robot hybrid, and Psychopomp, a grim-reaperesque, scythe-wielding superhero. When an encounter in a neutral club goes bad, Goodnight and their friends get on the wrong side of a mad scientist. Now it’s up to Team Tiny, and a very helpful supernatural spider, to save the world. Will they succeed?

The characters are likable and engaging. The plot is action-packed and does a great job of further building Roberts superhero world. I like the backstory this provides to the first three in the series. It is however a bit confusing at first if you haven’t read the other books despite it being a prequel.
