In Heroine Complex, did you enjoy ...

... a deadpan, laugh-out-loud voice while battling bizarre supernatural threats?

The Rook by Daniel O’Malley

If Evie’s quips about demon-possessed cupcakes and her wry asides while wrangling Aveda Jupiter made you grin, you’ll love the amnesiac Myfanwy Thomas writing snarky letters to her future self in The Rook. She wakes up in a park surrounded by bodies and discovers she’s a high-ranking operative in a secret British agency that manages slime monsters, psychic assassins, and weirder things—delivered with the same breezy, hilarious tone that made Evie’s San Francisco showdowns so fun.

... contemporary city-set magic tangled with family expectations and meddling spirits?

Black Water Sister by Zen Cho

Loved how Evie juggles real life in San Francisco with chaotic demon fights and complicated ties to Aveda? In Black Water Sister, Jess returns to Penang and gets drafted by the ghost of her foul-mouthed grandmother to tangle with local gods and gangsters. The way family pressure, identity, and urban hauntings collide feels like the spiritual cousin of Evie managing hero work, friendship drama, and cultural expectations—only now with a vengeful deity whispering in your ear.

... a capable heroine taking charge in a monster-riddled modern city?

Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews

If watching Evie step out from Aveda’s shadow to own her power hooked you, meet Kate Daniels—who charges headlong into Atlanta’s magic-plagued streets to solve murders amid shapeshifter politics and arcane flare-ups. Like Evie claiming the spotlight, Kate’s competence, grit, and razor-edged banter drive her from solo fixer to indispensable hero, complete with volatile alliances that echo Evie’s messy-but-loving team dynamics.

... queer Asian superhero vibes and identity-positive humor?

Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee

If you enjoyed Evie’s behind-the-scenes work stage-managing Aveda’s superhero persona—and the way the book celebrates Asian identity with warmth and wit—Not Your Sidekick hits the same sweet spot. Jessica Tran takes an internship with her town’s superhero outfit, uncovers secrets about villains and heroes, and falls for her crush Abby, all with the playful, inclusive tone that made Evie’s demon-fighting and community feel so charming.

... a banter-filled, slow-burn romance threaded through a heroine’s magical responsibilities?

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

If Evie and Nate’s slow-burn chemistry amid demon mayhem melted your heart, Payback’s a Witch delivers that same spark. Emmy Harlow returns to her witchy hometown for a high-stakes magical tournament and finds herself drawn to Talia as they plot a delicious revenge. The flirty banter, cozy-but-arcane setting, and romance interlaced with magical duty echo the balance of swoon and sorcery you loved in Evie’s story.
