(Mass Market Paperback)
Sparks are going to fly in this new superhero romance from the author of Karma Girl and Hot Mama.
Bella would feel better about being born into a family of superheroes if her own superpower was something she could control-or at least use. But static electricity? That's less a power than a jinx. Then she stumbles on two things no supergirl should be without: an ubervillain and a dashing-if shady-stranger named Debonair. Bella's about to learn just how well love and danger mix.
Jennifer Estep is an award-winning journalist for a daily newspaper. She lives in Bluff City, Tennessee.

June 04, 2009: After reading Karma Girl and Hot Mama I was looking forward to Jinx. I enjoyed it just as much as the other two and read it slowly due to there not being another one in the series as of yet.

August 13, 2008: Bella Bulluci detests her superpower as luck can fortunately be good, but the odds are just as strong it can be bad. Her current concern is the upcoming museum exhibit, Whimsical Wonders as she is in charge, but fears her luck could turn sour and hurt the show.---------------- Bella feels like she jinxed herself and the exhibit when someone tries to steal the show-stopping piece, the magnificent star sapphire. Soon after that the teleporting art thief Debonair kidnaps Bella. As they become acquainted she believes her luck has turned good as they begin to fall in love and she persuades him to help her prevent the supervillains from succeeding when they attempt to steal the star sapphire again.------------------- The latest satirical superhero romantic fantasy (see KARMA GIRL and HOT MAMA) is an amusing tale that will remind readers of the movies Pure Luck and Just My Luck. The story line is fast-paced with a strong cast especially the cynical lead female who laments her life as being bad luck to have such a lame power that can go in either direction. Fans who appreciate a lighthearted whimsical spoof will enjoy being jinxed by Jennifer Estep.----------- Harriet Klausner
