My Review
4☆ A Nice change to see a Female Superhero
I really enjoy superhero movies and books especially when they are women as it's rare you get a kick ass strong female lead.
Now I'm not sure if you have heard of Jessica Jones series on Netflix but she has super strength after ilegal lab testing experiments. I've just finished the second series. Ok so Jessica isn't exactly a role model but she's brilliant.
So when I was invited to read She's Bad News I jumped at the chance.
How exciting another Super strong female hero.
Bella Brown is a journalist who is not quiet making it in the world of journalism.
So when she gets asked to write a piece on some new diet pill drug, She jumps at the chance.
Only the pills don't exactly do as they say on the box. Hmm no surprises there!
All great superheroes get their uniqueness somehow.
Bella gets her super strength from the pills. But not only does she notice she's much stronger she also can run and not tire!
So I bet you can guess how Bella decides to use her new found powers??
I really enjoyed reading She's Bad News!
It was fun, plenty of action, some laugh out loud moments, mishaps and mayhem, it was a little predictable at times... but who cares! Isn't most super hero books/films predictable.
Bella was a fun loving character who used her powers for the greater good.
It's so nice to see a women superhero.
I think anyone who loves these kind of movies/ books will love Bella.
I really hope we get to see more of Bella as I can see this becoming a nice little series, possibly a graphic novel.

Book Information
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.

GUEST POST – SO WHY A SUPERHERO?
Elle Spellman
When people hear that I’ve written a novel, they ask me what it’s about. “It’s about a journalist who wakes up with super powers,” I tell them, excitedly. “It’s a superhero book.”
Cue a bit of surprise; the replies of “Oh!” from some. Or eyebrows raised in interest from fellow comic-book fans who want to know more. “It’s women’s fiction,” I elaborate. “With a superhero twist.”
Which is true. She’s Bad News is effectively a comedy, one in which 29-year-old single, failing journalist Bella Brown, who’s still stuck in her uneventful hometown, wakes up one morning to find that she’s been gifted with some amazing new abilities. Powers her best friend affectionately calls ‘the P Word’. The initial mystery of Bella's powers is soon followed by the fact that the P-word can help her achieve her career dreams. That is, if she’s careful. And maintaining a secret identity is never as easy as it looks…
I had the idea for the novel some years ago; a while before I actually sat down to write it, and a little before superheroes burst onto the mainstream TV scene thanks to the many Netflix shows available. My inspiration came mainly from comics. I’m also a big reader of women’s fiction. The idea just came to me one day – I'm going to write a superhero novel. As soon as I realised this, I knew there was nothing I wanted to write more, even though the idea sounded a bit niche.
Almost immediately I pictured a female protagonist; someone initially unremarkable, in a normal town, with a relatively normal job, dealing with the usual obstacles of everyday life. A life that would be changed completely when some unexpected powers get thrown into the mix.
So why a superhero?
I’ve been asked this question a lot. What made me decide to choose a superhero story? Well, it’s not just that I wanted to draw from the much-loved comic book adventures I’m often engrossed in, but also, because writing a superhero story seemed like an extremely fun and intriguing project. As soon as Bella Brown was created, I knew I’d have a great time with her on her journey. I knew I had the beginnings of an exciting novel to work on.
At first I needed to figure out the basics. Just who was Bella Brown? What, if anything, made her so special? Where did her powers come from? And of course, that all-important question: just what will she DO with them? I had to get into the mindset of an accidental heroine, and consider just how much her life would change, and how her actions would affect those closest to her.
Writing a superhero novel was exceptionally enjoyable, because it gave me the chance to delve into the worlds I love so much, albeit in a small-town setting, and actually create my own heroine. I’m massively fond of female superheroines; Wonder Woman, She-Hulk, Batgirl, Supergirl to name but a few. All characters with their own unique lives and abilities. Some of my favourite comic characters tend to fall under the category of ‘anti-hero’, e.g. DC’s Poison Ivy and Catwoman. Both are strong women with their own priorities who are often considered villains, but when it comes to defending themselves, and the people and causes they love and stand for, their stories can take an interesting turn.
This aspect alone made She’s Bad News an intriguing concept to explore; I had to think of Bella’s motives and just what drives her to use her powers in the way that she does. Ultimately, Bella comes across as a heroine, protecting the town of Hartleybourne, using her new-found abilities to put away local criminals and keep her town safe. But is she doing it for the right reasons?
Writing She’s Bad News not only allowed me to have a lot of fun putting myself in Bella’s shoes, imagining myself as a would-be heroine (and let’s face it, who hasn’t?), but it also gave me the chance to try writing something new and different. Something amusing and light with a comic-book twist, about an everyday woman whose small-town life suddenly becomes extraordinary.
