Wow... intense. 
 You don't often get a mix of a superhero and a psychological kidnapping plot-line in one book but Hero did it, and did it well. 
 The reactions of the characters in the story were fairly believable, despite the crazy situation. Leighton Del Mia created well rounded characters that were full of personality and emotions. 
 Some parts of the story were a little beyond my comfort level. This brought the enjoyment down. Especially because there wasn't a lot of resolution for Cataline over what she went through. I was disappointed that she never really got any justice for what she suffered. 
 Hero would have been really good as a series rather than a stand-alone.
