There's a lot going on in, Heroes Are My Weakness but in a great way only S.E.P can write.
There is Annie the optimist, Theo the dark, Gothic good looking, all the puppets, the adorable little Livia and the towns people.
S.E.P keeps you guessing with all the shocking plot twists, which I just loved.
Always have been a fan of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and always will.

Annie is returning home to lay claim on a home from her past that she must inhabit for 60 days per an agreement between her mother and step father. She must return to this house in the dead of winter on an island off of Maine and tough it out while having memories of her childhood haunt her. Theo is a part of these childhood memories that are haunting and he is living in his family's home trying to work on his next novel.
Their love story was great. I loved the ups and the downs and the realizations they each had to make to get to where they ended up. My favorite secondary character was a young, sweet girl named Livia who had been through a lot, but actually helped the other characters learn more about themselves through her. She wins a prize for top secondary character in my book.

Expect different from the usual SEP, but expect the unambiguous happy ending we all love. I am so glad I read her dedication to Mary Stuart, Anya Seton, Charlotte Bronte, Daphne du Maurier, Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney. This book fits right in. Five Stars.
I have to say I didn't like Annie at first with her multiple conversations with her puppets. But once the interaction between her and Theo became more frequent, the book became a lot more fun. I love the mystery with the past, their back stories, and the current mysteries. Theo and Annie worked so well together because he was able to be playful with her.
Really enjoyed this one. Lots of silliness.

As normal for SEP, this is another truly enjoyable and fun read. (I have enjoyed all her books except one.) Thanks to SEP for putting laughter in my life every time I pick up one of her books. And for the most part, keeping the "bad language" to a mininum.
