With great power comes…great frustration.
Several months after the events of Going Through the Change, retired corporate vice president (and occasional lizard-woman) Patricia O’Neill is embroiled in a search for the mad scientist who brought the “change” upon them all.
Meanwhile, Flygirl Jessica Roark and gender-bending strongman Linda/Leonel Alvarez have joined a mysterious covert agency known only as The Department. They’re training hard, in hopes of using their newfound powers for the greater good.
Patricia thinks they’re being used. Cut off from the other menopausal heroes, she’s alone. And her search has hit a serious dead end.
Then Patricia disappears, and all the clues point to a dead man. It’s up to her friends and The Department to find her and bring her home.
Change of Life A Menopausal Superhero Novel Book 2 eBook Samantha Bryant
I'm never sure what to expect from sequels but this novel did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the introduction of a few new characters and the growth and change in the characters from the first of the series. I particularly enjoyed the surprise on who the villain actually is; it was quite a surprise to me when it was presented not too far into this novel (don't want to spoil for any who have not read it yet). It was a quick read, I would have read in a few days if time would have allowed, it really keeps your interest and you want to read on - in one sitting. The story has well laid plans (some that don't go as planned of course), revenge, friendship, relationship issues and lots of action overall. The writer develops the story at a nice pace building with each chapter and of course the ending leaves you waiting for the next novel.Product details

Change of Life A Menopausal Superhero Novel Book 2 eBook Samantha Bryant Reviews
Change of Life is just a good, fun, read.
It’s the second of Samantha Bryant’s Menopausal Superhero novels and frankly, if the thought of a menopausal superhero novel doesn’t put a smile on your face, you’re probably a little dead inside. Maybe a lot.
In the first book in the series, we’re introduced to a number of women who find that going through the change of life is a bit more drastic than one normally expects. One woman learns how to fly, another sprouts spikes and an armor coating, one can start fires and one turns into a man.
The first book is all about the women adapting to the new changes and figuring out how to use their new abilities. The second one takes things a bit further and we start to see the longer term ramifications on their family lives as they start to master their abilities and try to use them to make an actual difference in the world.
I’m sure you’ll be surprised to hear that they meet with some resistance both from family members and complete strangers. But they find support, too, from family members, from each other, and even from strangers.
Bryant’s writing style is casual, even conversational, so you don’t feel like you’re reading so much as you are sitting around as a bunch of your friends tell you about their adventures. It’s similar in style to some Romances I’ve read, though the fine print on my man-card says I have to make it clear I was doing some Very Important Research for a Very Secret Project or the card will be forcibly removed.
The bottom line is that this is a story about people with special powers figuring out how their newfound powers are going to change their personal and professional lives. As such, it’s not much different than every other superhero story ever. If the thought of menopausal women as superheroes seems odd to you, well, I’m well outside the target demographic and I was entertained. I’m sure you will be too.
Disclaimer I was given a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This review may contain minor spoilers.
Change of Life by Samantha Bryant is the sequel to Going Through the Change (which I've also reviewed). As such, this review of Change of Life will contain spoilers for Going Through the Change. Consider yourself warned.
Still here? Right, let's do this.
Change of Life by Samantha Bryant continues the story of our favorite band of menopausal superheroes. In this novel, Jessica (the gravity-defying cancer survivor) and Leonel (the strong "man" formerly known as Linda) are working for the Department, a secret government organization that specializes in finding, training, and sometimes defeating individuals with superhuman abilities, as well as other spy-related missions. Patricia (the Hulk-like dino-woman) is on the hunt for her former friend and evil mastermind Cindy Liu, who has disappeared after the events of Going Through the Change. Helen (the fire-wielding villain) has also gone missing, and her daughter Mary (a non-super, albeit fiery, young woman) has gone looking for her.
As you can tell, there is a lot going on in Change of Life. And yet, Bryant weaves a complete and engaging narrative, giving each character her fair share of the spotlight and emotional depth. (This includes our newest hero, Sally Ann, who is Jessica's trainer within the Department.) The plot moves quickly and smoothly, keeping the reader entertained and trying to unravel the mystery along the way. Part of the pacing comes from the narrative style -- short chapters and alternating perspectives -- which allows the reader to view the conflicts from all angles and ensures that there is a heroine to whom everyone can relate.
Perhaps my favorite part of Change of Life (and Going Through the Change) is how Bryant uses her different characters to challenge and celebrate the different forms of womanhood. From housewives to business women, and from child-free ladies to grandmothers, Bryant depicts womanhood from all angles, showcasing the similarities and differences in how "the change" effects each of them. Moreover, Bryant explores how traditionally "feminine" and "masculine" personality traits can both be positive for her female characters. For example, one of Leonel (aka Linda's) greatest assets is her ability to listen and her caring nature, while Patricia finds strength in her independent spirit and take-no-bullshit attitude.
This being said, my only criticism about Change of Life was that sometimes the narrative stalled on characters' emotions a bit too long. While the internal monologues did increase my understanding of the characters, sometimes they bordered on repetitive, and other times I would rather have "seen" the characters' emotional states emerge through their physical reactions to the conflicts in the story.
Slow spots aside, the real jewel of Change of Life is the character development. As a reader, I couldn't help but feel inspired as the characters embraced both their superpowers and the changes their powers caused in their personal lives. For instance, Jessica learning to master her "flying" and no longer fear it made me incredibly proud, and Leonel standing up for herself and finally focusing on herself after a lifetime of being a wife and mother first showed her strength and made me love her even more. All of the characters have similar growths and will endear themselves to the reader twofold in this novel.
Overall, Change of Life is a fitting sequel. Packed with action, drama, and a dash of romance, and led by a cast of strong, complex, and diverse women, it's everything you'd want in a "menopausal" superhero novel. Highly recommended for superhero-lovers of all genders, ages, and levels of geeky-ness.
Loved the characters and bonds that brought them together. Sometimes we gave to examine old friendships to be sure they are authentic.
Love the premise! Great fun read.
Still loving the characters and can’t wait to see what happens next.
Well written & fun fantasy of how hormones gone awry transform a few midlife females into Superheroes. This book made me smile — ok, sometimes I laughed out loud.
