Cleo, Violet, and Charlotte are drawn to each other and finally feel they have real girlfriends. Everything seems to be falling into place, until one of their male friends starts acting out--he's simply not himself. In search of answers, the girls find themselves in the middle of a war started before they were born.Trying to take matters into their own hands, they form a superhero group with outfits, nicknames, and all. But they are facing evil that can take their very souls. Will good win out over evil? Or have the girls gotten themselves in over their heads?Let me start by saying I absolutely loved the originality of this story. There are some interesting takes on paranormal beings. But more than that, I enjoyed the character building and deepening friendships being formed. I fell in love with each of these characters for different reasons (and I'd love to read a story from the guys' perspectives). Best of all, there isn't a whiny girl in the bunch. They all have their strengths, even as they are figuring out how to use them.At first, the changing points of view slowed my reading as I adjusted. But as I became more engrossed in the story, the pacing and surprise story revelations took over. And there are so many interesting surprises. At one point, a character warns another not to trust anyone. But it serves as a shout out to the reader as well.Oh, and did I mention there are also some sweet romantic elements?If you love an original spin on paranormal with great characters, you'll love Supernova.Rating: 4.5 stars, but worthy of rounding upNote: I received a complimentary copy for review purposes.
