Shaykitteh's World of Books

Magno Girl and the Beast of Brooklyn is a fun short story about a superhero named Magno (short for Magnolia) Girl and a bouncer named Ron. When thieves steal large bags of rice from a Chinese restaurant, Ron was close enough to see the events but annoyed with the cops enough to give them some wrong information. His attraction for Magno is enough that he decides to help her find the real criminals, and the story takes off from there.

While some parts of this story are hilariously absurd -- a super-villain named Bank Roll who was evicted for not paying his rent?! -- everything is just over the top enough to make it a fast-paced and amusing introduction to Mango Girl. Fighting, flying, and a superpower that affects the hero, along with a nagging mother, this story kept me laughing all the way through. After reading this, I'm excited to see what the author has in store for us in the full novel he's recently released, about Magno and Ron's continuing adventures.

NOTE: I received a free copy of this book after signing up for the author's mailing list.
