About this eBook

Mary O'Sullivan would rather throw punches than parties. But though her vigilante-league family can fly and support collapsing bridges on one shoulder, Mary’s stuck with her wits, muscles, and a desperate need to prove herself. When the league uses her celebrity secret identity to infiltrate a gala, she takes the opportunity to flaunt her skills as an operative. 

Mary's decision to bend protocol results in the loss of a dangerous artifact — one that could grant her the power she lacks. Sidelined by the league for going rogue, she pursues the power-granting stone without backup. 

But she's not the only one looking for the artifact. If she can't secure it, superpowers will be available to the highest bidder — and the league's anonymity could become a thing of the past. 

Power Struggle is a stand-alone prequel to the League of Independent Operatives series. 

Ratings and reviews

I read the first 3 chapters and gave up. Such a clichéd story of a secret group of enhanced humans. It may get better but I couldn't be bothered to find out. There are numerous books along a similar premise. I've never found an original one.
