Jamie and Zoe both have super powers, and no memory of their life before them. While Jamie is able to read minds and change memories as The Mind Robber, Zoe has extraordinary speed and strength. Jamie uses his powers to rob banks with no blood. Zoe delivers fast food order, and beats up bad guys. After meeting each other quite by accident in a memory-loss support group, they form an uncomfortable alliance to try and figure out what happened to them. The rabbit hole goes a lot farther than either of them expected.
Author Mike Chen has created two very fun characters, both inherently flawed. This makes them so much easier to relate to. Zoe might be super fast and super strong, but she still goes through wardrobe malfunctions and drinks heavily. Jamie is by nature quiet, just wants to read and is robbing banks in order to fund life on an island somewhere that he can’t be found. We Could Be Heroes feels a lot like that NBC show Heroes, if the show hadn’t taken itself so seriously.
We Could Be Heroes is now available from Harlequin Books.
