Heroes meets Bridget Jones in this brilliant, hilarious debut novel about a girl who just wants to save the world... Bremy St James, daughter of billionaire Atticus St James, has been cut off from the family fortune and is struggling to survive in a world that no longer holds its breath every time she buys a new outfit. To make matters worse, her twin sister is keeping secrets, loan sharks are circling, and the man of her dreams - a newspaper reporter - is on assignment to bring down everyone with the last name St James. Things are certainly looking bleak for the down - and - out socialite until a good deed throws her into the path of the city's top crime - fighter, Dark Ryder. Suddenly, Bremy has a new goal: apprentice to a superhero, and start her own crime - fighting career. Ryder has no need for a sidekick, but it turns out the city needs Bremy's help. Atticus St James is planning the crime of the century, and Bremy may be the only one able to get close enough to her father to stop him. Now all she needs to do is figure out this superhero thing in less than a month, keep her identity secret from the man who could very well be The One, and save the city from total annihilation. Well, no one ever said being a superhero would be easy...

Hmmm

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2014

Well the main character is an Eejit! You apprentice to a superhero, do you A) immediately tell people so they'll think you are cool or B) Keep your mouth shut as you are not in disguise? Well she goes for option A every time - some moments are very funny others you kinda hope she dies in some stupid way. This book is different to the ones I've been reading like Bigtime superheros or even villans go to the movies - she's not as bad as I imagine she could be - think Paris Hilton - but if you find you get rage issues with numpties stay away from this book.
If you can get past her stupidity it is quite interesting - no one ever considers the start up costs of a superhero!

This book was so much fun to read! Bremy has spunk, style, and wit. She is the perfect superhero ingenue with just the right amount of edge.

The (mis)adventures of the heroine are quite entertaining and a fast read. Could turn into a nice series. Nice little find from the bookcave.

Sidekick by Auralee Wallace is a story about a young girl by the name of Bremy St James who has run away from her billion dollar father and is now trying to live on her own for once in her life. Through fate, she is brought together with a vigilante by the name of Dark Ryder and together they have to stop a new evil villain circus that has been causing chaos throughout the city. But the more they fight, the closer they find out that not everything is what it seems and what the true reason Bremy left home for.

This story was a great mix of comedy and superhero storyline. It felt like I was watching CBS’s 2 Broke Girls and CW’s Arrow at the same time.

I thought Auralee Wallace did a great job telling a superhero story. Each character had their own voice and attitude and no one felt like a cardboard cutout. The characters were stereotypical for a superhero story, but portrayed in a way that didn’t seem overdone. I loved each and every one of them, even the Russian owner of Bremy’s apartment that reminded me of a certain old man that you never wanted to mess with…

I also enjoyed the computer genius Bart and the creepy Korean neighbor Queenie. Both had a very unique voice and I loved how the characters developed. The little things that Auralee Wallace puts into the story bring it to life and makes her characters all distinct, I never lost track of who was talking.

The villain’s circus I found to be a fun twist on the story. It has been done before, but the villain didn’t feel like a cutout either. We got to learn why the villain was the way she was and how she got to be the leader of this circus. A lot of the times villains like these don’t have a great backstory and are just evil to be evil, but this character had a good backstory that I very much appreciated.

Some questions were left unanswered, but I found out on the author’s blog that she is writing a second novel, which I am very excited for. Auralee Wallace has great potential with this series and I can’t wait to see where she leads us.

I give this novel a 5/5 for being so interesting, unique, yet stick to the superhero troupes that we all love.

I wanted to like this work more than I did

Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2014

An interesting story, but not very complex. Overall, I wanted to like this work more than I did, while it did pass the time and didn't bore me, it has some significant problems. The plot is basically "spoiled rich girl stumbles into doing heroism for the thrill," and it doesn't get much deeper than that. The character's clumsy struggles does make it more fun that it might sound, but sometimes her clueless nature is grating rather than fun.

The overall story could have worked if the villain and their plan wasn't totally obvious early on in the book, and the heroine (Sidekick) actually had time to develop anything other than "stumble into danger," as a skill. Some of the characters just didn't get any love in terms of page count, and characterization. (Love interest, the mentor, Dark Ryder, Sidekick's sister.) If it had spent time building them into well characterized people, then the failings of the heroine to be, might have had some elements to play off in her own struggles, and strange situation.

A solid attempt.
