I'm really excited to be a part of the Blog Tour for She's Bad News by Elle Spellman. As soon as I read super powers in the synopsis, I knew I had to read it. I love super hero stories. I'm currently watching Jessica Jones on Netflix, and I've watched all the other Marvel/Netflix super hero shows, so obviously, I needed more!!! Bella Brown is not the typical super hero personality. She's just a normal person who gets some special skills.
Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources and Elle Spellman for letting me be a part of this Blog Tour. I received a free e-arc for an honest review.

Synopsis: What would you do if you woke up with super powers?
For Bella Brown, life hasn't gone according to plan. She's almost thirty, still living in her uneventful hometown, and her dreams of becoming an investigative reporter have fallen by the wayside.
That is, until she wakes up one morning to find she's been gifted with some amazing new abilities. What’s a girl to do with heightened senses, super speed and the ability to lift a truck one-handed? Bella quickly discovers that her new powers can easily help her land front-page leads at local newspaper, The Hartleybourne Gazette.
Soon Bella's out every night chasing down local criminals for stories, while keeping her powers a secret from everyone besides flatmate Chloe. But when a burglary-gone-wrong accidentally turns her into the mysterious Hartleybourne Heroine, Bella finds herself on the front page for the wrong reasons. Her secret becomes harder to keep as she tries to track down the source of her powers, and especially when crime reporter Matt Gilmore is intent on unmasking the town's new vigilante...

Suddenly, having an extraordinary life is far more dangerous than she ever imagined.
My Currently Reading Thoughts: Bella's life is not what she planned for it to be. Her dreams of becoming a investigative reporter have hit a snag, instead of reporting the hot stories, she's stuck doing stories she doesn't want. Her boss is mean, and makes it a habit of dismissing and embarrassing her. Her life isn't what she thought it would be. It all changes when a story that was meant to be humiliating turns into something exhilarating. Bella Brown now has POWERS!! The question is, what does she do with them?
I love love love Super Power/Super Hero origin stories. I think it comes from the fantasy of wanting super powers for myself. I mean, it's so boring to just be an ordinary human. What kind of powers would I want and what would I do with them? I don't know. And that's what this book is good for, the unintended consequences of becoming extraordinary. It's a secret that is very, very hard to keep.
I'm really enjoying this. I love the idea of it. Bella is a pretty normal character. I think a lot of people can relate to someone like her. Someone that feels stuck, not living their dreams, but just trying to get by. She's also someone that has to put up with some not very nice people, like her boss. She's just a very relatable character. Bella has feelings that we all feel.
And the powers!!! I love the powers.
This is very good. I'd definitely recommend giving it a read. I don't recommend trying sketchy diet pills hoping against hope that you get super powers of your own though.
