Jet, the darling good girl of the city, uses her shadow-power to battle the forces of evil. But her shadows also mask the fierce demons that only she, her mentor, and her former best friend - and now arch-nemesis - know about.
Iridium is that former best friend: able to wield the power of light, she trained as a hero only to become one of the most infamous villains in the city - for what she feels are truly heroic reasons.
Alternating between the present-day threat and their past exploits as friends, and later rivals, at the Superhero Academy, the novel brings these two women to vivid life, portraying the complexities of being a true hero in a world determined to categorise you in a neat box of good or evil - black or white.

Comments about Black and White:
With comic book characters gracing the movie screens from the Marvel and DC universes this is a great read for a different take on the superhero genre.
Sure there are skintight suits, superpowers and the fitting names but Black and White looks at super heroes from a business perspective.
Black and White is the story of a hero and a villian, told from the perspective of both. However in a world where super heroes are a brand, press releases and photo ops come before justice the lines between good and evil are blurred. Which is right and which is wrong, it just simply isn't black and white.
A great read for any fan of the superhero genre or anyone looking for an escape.
I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the sequel.
