It’s okay though, I’m making money for the family and besides, my best friend Jake’s with me.
This place is crazy.

Denial is the first book in the Hero High series, following seventeen year old Friday starting her journey at, not your normal, high school. Hero High is a school for super hero’s of every style.
This first book gives you a great introduction to characters, and despite being a short read really manages to pack a lot of information in. I am the kind of reader or thrives off details and wordy descriptions, so for me it felt a little rushed. But that’s definitely a reflection on my reading style, and I can see how the style of writing complements the energy of the story.
I’m excited to see where the author goes with this story, it feels like the possibilities are endless. It’s a great new series and different to anything else I have read, I look forward to the next instalment.
Denial
Hero High
Book 1
By Mina Chara
This is a full length fantasy. Written for the coming of age romance readers.
Welcome to the School for the Power People. Hero High provides all the things the students need. This is a different type of school you are used to. These high school students are told what to wear, as the school provides the clothes. The students are followed around by cameras and are told who they are to date. That being the case, they are paid for this. Good or bad the money is to help out their families. That is all I will tell you! No spoilers!
Mina Chara has written this Fantasy Adventure. I love the characters in this story. But most of all I feel as though I am right there beside the teens. This book is loaded with action and will keep you reading. Although it is written for teens and young adults, I feel anybody could read it. This gives you a chance to discuss this book with your teens, open communication is always GREAT. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, as well as discussing it with my teenager. Well Done Mina Chara!
I’ve enjoyed this young adult genre more than most teens I know or young adults. In this futuristic mystery, we go into the world of Icon City, a haven for one percenters. You instantly fall in love with the characters, especially the main character who has a powerful personality which is set to inspire the readers.
She’s fully aware of her personality which brings her great strengths in a lot of ways plus she’s aware of her surroundings and how it affects her.
In this fantasy, she used to be a “normal” 17-year-old girl until her dad found out she had superpowers and shipped her off to a famous school for powered people of the world — Hero High.
At Hero High, she lives in the SuperStructure where cameras follow her every move. People with powers have just as many expectations on them as humans do with the pressures they succumb themselves to. Through this she’s making money for the family and she’s starting to see the place for what it is.
She is us as we’re along for the ride with her as she takes on the role of hero as she attempts to discover the identity of an unknown villain and their intentions with the school. She’s a selfless hero in for the ride no matter the consequences.
Great adventure with mysteries. Fun read full of action-packed pages full of unpredictable twists and turns. Very fun to get through.
This is a lovely little book for young adults who enjoy superpowers. I really love Jake character and how direct he is. I feel like some like this book could of been made longer as some parts felt a little rushed. Chara does an amazing job at getting you intresed you want the next book as soon as you’ve finished the first.

5-Stars
Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara was a fun and interesting short read. I loved the authors creativity in making a world full of heroes. This gave it a unique twist. I loved the backstory of main character Friday. She was different and extremely smart. I loved her and her quirkiness. I also loved how the book was set up as an interview of her. I am interested in learning more about Ashley. Is he who I think he is? I can’t wait to read the next book. This book may be short but it is great. I easily give it 5-stars and I highly recommend it.
Denial is the first novel in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This is my first novel by this author.
After finding out she has powers, Friday is sent to Hero High by her Dad.
Her powers are not as known as other students there, but being the new kid at school she is determined to prove herself.
I really enjoyed this novel and it has helped me in my reading slump. It’s been a stressful few weeks and I was excited to be able to just sit back and get lost in a book.
Reading this made me think of the movie ‘Sky High’.
I look forward to reading the next book and having some questions answered and see more of Friday’s development. Did I mention ‘Friday’ is such a cool name?
This was my first read for me by Mina Chara. I will say that it was a good book overall and I appreciated the concept by the time I had it finished but it did take me a bit to get into the flow of the story. I think a lot of that was because this is a new series and the first book so we got a bit of set up information that may just have been a bit on the heavy side. Otherwise, this book is a quick read with a lot of surprise action that will keep you guessing until the end.
Friday is our main gal and she is currently in a predicament of learning that she has powers that set her aside from the typical seventeen year old. When her father learns of this he sends her off to a school far away from the family. She finds herself in Hero High and facing the new life her magic has formed for her. This is a short read but I still found myself reading past my bedtime to find out how things would eventually play out for Friday. I look forward to getting my hands on the next Hero High novel, Anger.
Denial by Mina Chara is the first book in the Hero High series. This is a short read but packs a lot into the pages. The story follows a seventeen year old girl who is discovered to have powers. Her dad sends her off to Hero High. What and who will she encounter at her new home?
I enjoyed the pace of the story and the characters which were introduced. I also liked it was a bit of several genres. This is a series I will be reading to see where this author takes everything from here.
Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara.
I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how much this story drew me in. This is a new to me author and I’m excited to see where I’m taken with this author. This book while on the smaller side still packed a punch with the journey we’re taken on with our main character. It’s filled with action and fantasy. It’s well written and paced nicely. The characters are complex and relatable, they really pull you into their world and I can’t wait to see where we’re taken next. I’m giving this story a four star review and highly recommend.
Denial is the first book the Hero High series. It is a fast-paced book that packs a lot of events into a short story. Friday is a seventeen year old new student at Hero High. While her powers aren’t as obvious as everyone else’s…she is determined to prove herself and become the superhero she wants to be. However, people doubt her from the moment she starts. Oh…did I mention that everything is also being filmed because Hero High is also a reality television show?!? In the short amount of time in the book, Friday finds herself in quite a few situations where she has to think fast on her feet and keep herself alive in the process.
There was a lot of information in this book. We are introduced to the world of Hero High and some of the other students and superheroes. We are given some of Friday’s backstory and left with a lot of unanswered questions to the situations she finds herself in. I was drawn in because I wanted to know more…and I still want to know more. I will be waiting for future books so I can, hopefully, get some answers to all my questions. Plus, I am rooting for Friday!
5 Star
Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara
Although this is a short story its packed full of Paranormal action. I’m going to be honest it took be a bit to get into. Some parts felt rushed while others fell a bit short ,with that being said once I got past the first chapter it was smooth sailing and I couldn’t put it down. Although this is my first read by this Author I can honestly say it wont be my last. Friday is a seventeen year old who after her father finds out about her magical powers sends her away. She finds herself at Hero High and a couple of times finds herself in a situation where she wonders what is really going on.
