Rating: 4 out of 5

What I would have liked to know before I bought this book. (no spoilers)1. What type of book is it: action, drama, etc? This book is a lesbian/bisexual erotic superhuman action story that jumps the line into soft porn.2. What is the story about, in general? The story is about Penny, a low self-esteem woman that is blessed (or cursed) with Ultra powers and the ability to change into mega sexy libido burning Wonder Woman. Along the way she takes on crimes, discovers herself and has a loads and loads of sex.3. What/Who is the target audience? Alternative lifestyle folks of the female gender. Young adults (yes adults) and adult males. Underage children should NOT be allowed to purchase this book.4. Is there character development? The only real character development that I can see is Penny trying to balance her changes. It's not a bad emotional evolution. The other characters, with very few exceptions, have rote roles. They aren't exactly one dimensional, but are very close to such. The story is more about frolicking lesbian erotica than anything else. Yet, it has enjoyable superhuman conflict as well.5. Are the characters likable? Considering I am in the target audience, and I like sexy women, I found the characters attractive. I say that word to separate them from likable. The characters, apart from Penny, her roommate and Penny's superhero partner are lacking in evolution. The superhuman aspect of the story, and thus the superhuman aspect of the characters, are second tier to the formulation of reasons necessary for sexual exploration. The characters, in short, are all about sex, seduction and erotica. Everything else is secondary.6. Does the story keep its pacing? The book has tons, and I mean tons, of `fan service'. It sure kept my attention. Some of the scenes get pretty shallow, more concentrated in erotica and sex than in actually providing a paced story. Yet, I have to say, I enjoyed it.  I know. I'm a guy. I'm guilty. Mea culpa.The big heroes are always women. Trust me on this. You will find only -1- instance where a male Ultra did something remarkable, and it was still a support job for the female characters. If that's not your thing keep it in mind.All of the dedicated antagonists are male. Get the gist of it? It's Gals versus Guys. Again, if you're not into that sort of thing, keep it in mind.7. Do you have to suspend disbelief? Not really. The story is over the top, but the world is over the top. The emotional melodrama was interesting as it was lanced with a significant amount of heavy erotica. I am not sure I can buy the frivolity of the sexual encounters in the book. No one seemed to be jealous of anyone else as they jumped from bed to bed. That's a little against human nature.8. Is the book worth the asking price? It's a $3 dollar book. That's really cheap. Giving the read a try shouldn't strain anyone's pocket.In conclusion:  This is a credible addition to the erotica genre. It is also an interesting addition to the superhuman/superhero genre. The action is interesting as well as the emotional melodrama. Besides two to three characters, there is no credible character evolution. The relationships were mostly very shallow, and the ease by which sexual encounters were traded seemed equally shallow. I say `mostly' becomes one or two of these relationships were very twisted and powerful in their duality. All major antagonists are male, though supporting antagonists could be of any genre. All the major protagonists are female, though supporting characters could be of any genre. There is an equal amount of conflict action in this story that keeps the book moving along at a pretty good pace. It only lagged in one spot, that I can think about. The book has a modicum price. I recommend this book for those that aren't uncomfortable with women beating it out against guys and with a lot of lesbian/bisexual sex. Children should NOT, under any circumstances, be allowed to purchase this read.3.7 stars
