TJ Klune is one of my favourite authors. I will always read whatever he writes. The Extraordinaries was marvellous. For a first book in a series, it was everything that I could want. There were so many superheroes around at the time and having a queer and neurodiverse MC in a superhero book was really needed.

Book two, Flash Fire, was a great continuation of the series. I loved the way that the story unfurled and the way that Nick and Seth were getting to know one another. This brings us to the newest book in the series: Heat Wave.

Heat Wave is a great conclusion to the series. It wraps up a lot of the loose ends that were remaining. There are some grand twists, a few zig zags and Nick and Seth finally get their HEA.

I found that the first half of this book dragged a little. It felt a little too familiar. The jokes, I felt, had been written before and some of the things I had most loved – like Nick’s wit and racing mind – felt a little repetitive.

The story more than made up for the drawbacks and I would recommend this to anyone – as a conclusion to the series. It is definitely not a stand-alone as there’s too much built into the lead up for the finale.
