In The Nick Of Time by Elle Keaton
4.0
funny lighthearted relaxing medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes

A great fun read. 

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. 
I loved the two main characters Nick and Doug who find themselves investigating the disappearance of some SPAM agents. Nick, with a mild power, is a new recruit whilst Doug, once a Superhero, is looking forward to retirement. Circumstances have them heading to Las Vegas along with Tim the most unusual sidekick I’ve ever experienced. After a bit of sleuthing and a touch of drama they manage to thwart the villains and save the day. 

This is a wonderfully original plot that kept me fully invested from the very beginning. I loved the back and forth between Nick and Doug which had me laughing out loud, the balance between sweet and spice and the HEA which left me smiling.  

This is part of the multi author Subparheroes series and can be read as a standalone.
