Today's post is on Lois Lane: Triple Threat by Gwenda Bond. It is the last in her Lois Lane trilogy. It is 357 pages long and is published by Switch Press. The cover has Lois's profile three times in bold primary colors. The intended reader is someone who who has read the first two novels, likes Lois Lane, and excellent writing. There is foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of Lois. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the dust jacket- For the first time, Lois Lane had almost everything she wants. Non-temporary home? Check. Dream job? Double check. Incredible BFFs? The absolute best. And now, hew online crush, SmallvilleGuy, is coming to Metropolis. If all goes well, they'll turn their long-distance friendship into a some-kind-of-fairy-tale romance, But when foes all every go well? Before she can check boyfriend off her list, Lois must take down a mad scientist plus a trio of mutant teens, protect the elusive flying man from the feds (including her dad), and navigate her very first date with SmallvilleGuy. In the follow-up to FALLOUT and DOUBLE DOWN, Gwenda Bond's reimagination of DC Comics's first leading lady takes on her toughest challenge yet: Love.
Review- This was a prefect end to an incredible trilogy. Lois grows so much over the course of these books, she goes from directionless young woman with a great sense of justice to a young reporter with her values and dreams on the same page going into her future as one of the leading voices in the DCU. The story picks up about six months after the end of Double Down and Lois is getting antsy for her next scoop. When her next story runs into her, Lois knows that she to stop and help the teens who are being used by unknown adults. But why are they focusing on her? Bond takes the stakes that she placed in the previous books and brings them all together in this final novel. Clark is much more present in this novel as compared to the first two because he comes to Metropolis and is able to really be involved in the action. Bond did so much right with this series and with the character of Lois Lane, I just loved it so much. I would love it if Bond got to write more with Lois and maybe follow her through college and into the world as The Daily Planet's ace reporter.
I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
