Fantasy fiction by Carrie Vaughn, author of the Kitty the Werewolf series. Celia West is the only daughter of Commerce City's best known super-heroes, Captain Olympus and Spark. She is just a normal, average woman (accountant) who grew up in the shadow of her very famous parents.

Celia is selected to help prosecute the uber villian The Destructor on tax evasion. But, Celia's one youthful indiscretion comes back to haunt her. On top of this, the bad relationship she has with her parents, and a budding relationship with a cute police detective, and Celia's got her hands full.

I enjoyed this book. Celia is a heroine you can cheer for. She proves that you don't have to have super powers to be a hero.
