Lois Lane has settled in to her new school. She has friends, for maybe the first time in her life. She has a job that challenges her. And her friendship is growing with SmallvilleGuy, her online maybe-more-than-a-friend. But when her friend Maddy's twin collapses in a part of town she never should've been in, Lois finds herself embroiled in a dangerous mystery that brings her closer to the dirty underbelly of Metropolis.
"Bond maintains the rapid-fire pace, witty banter, and clever allusions that made Fallout (2015) a winner, at the same time exploring thought-provoking ethical issues through Lois' whip-smart and sometimes socially awkward persona. Wonderful details abound, including the usage of a clippings file-a nice touch in the age of Internet research. Superhero fans wishing for a fuller backstory on Superman's love interest will find it hard to wait for the sequel, which seems like a sure thing."
