The explosive sequel to The Extraordinaries by USA Today bestselling author TJ Klune.
Nick landed himself the superhero boyfriend of his dreams, but with new heroes arriving in Nova City it's up to Nick and his friends to determine who is virtuous and who is villainous. Which is a lot to handle for a guy who just wants to finish his self-insert bakery AU fanfic.
'Is it possible to fall in love with someone's imagination? If so, consider me fully smitten. TJ Klune creates worlds where fear and threat can be conquered by kindness, and a tender, queer heart is more valuable than any weapon or power' David Levithan
'Flash Fire is a perfect sequel...Klune beautifully blends romance, action, coming-of-age, and real-world issues, all grounded in a protagonist that feels as real as your best friend' Lauren Shippen, author of The Infinite Noise
'Uproariously funny!' Sophie Gonzales, author of Only Mostly Devastated
'The most down-to-earth book about superheroes I've ever read' Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best
When TJ Klune was eight, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write his first story (which turned out to be his own sweeping epic version of the video game Super Metroid - he didn't think the game ended very well and wanted to offer his own take on it. He never heard back from the video game company, much to his chagrin). Now, over two decades later, the cast of characters in his head have only gotten louder. But that's okay, because he's recently become a full-time writer, and can give them the time they deserve.
Since being published, TJ has won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Romance, fought off three lions that threatened to attack him and his village, and was chosen by Amazon as having written one of the best GLBT books of 2011.
And one of those things isn't true.
(It's the lion thing. The lion thing isn't true.)

** Praise for TJ Klune **
TJ Klune is a master storyteller * The Mary Sue *
The Extraordinaries was the distraction I needed from a terrible world and I loved it for it. I definitely recommend it, if you're in the need for some good, light-hearted fun that doesn't take itself too seriously with just a dash of angst * Wild Heart Reads *
The most down-to-earth book about superheroes I've ever read. I laughed, I cried, and I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it * Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best *
This razor-sharp book is half love letter to fandom, half self-aware satire, and wholly lovable * Sophie Gonzales, author of Perfect on Paper *
Klune plays with superhero genre tropes and fan-fiction cliches with the skill of a true fan - completely aware of their ridicuousness but in love with them anyway
* Kirkus Reviews *
Klune's signature mix of humor and heart-shredding angst make this another unforgettable reading experience. I can't wait to read it again, and again * The Novel Approach on Ravensong *
If you're looking for a book to read and then reread several times before the next Spider-Man movie releases, this will be perfect * BuzzFeed *
Hand to teens involved in fandom, writers of fanfiction, lovers of superhero stories, and queer romance readers * School Library Journal *
TJ Klune is doing powerful work that inspires and impresses. He is a gift to our troubled times, and his novels are a radiant treat to all who discover them * Locus *
