Overview

When the city is safe again, everything will go back to normal. That's what Davey Karoll believes. As a therapist married to the city's first superhero, he has learned to live with late nights, close calls, and the distance that grows when the person you love belongs to everyone else. One day, he tells himself, they'll find their way back. That, or he will finally adjust to the new normal. But what would that even look like? While the heroes continue to fight crime in the city, the spouses left at home must confront what having super-powered wives has done to their marriages and to themselves. Sometimes the hardest part of saving the world isn't the battle. It's coming home.

Reviews

""If you are looking for a literary novel blended with urban fantasy, realism, contemporary drama, and a splash of humor, When the City Is Safe Again by Sean Mejias is a great pick. The author introduces readers to fascinating characters with reflective, dynamic prose. Here, the gender roles are reversed in a world where men handle domestic work, and women go out to fix and protect the world. The cinematic depictions capture both the mundane and action-packed moments, highlighting the differences and significance of the characters' roles. These also brought the city to life on the pages."" -Keith Mbuya, Readers' Favorite, Five Star Review
