Not My Time by Jessica Salina

What would you do if you were a superhero? Rory Miller has dreamed of reuniting with the vigilante superhero Hematite ever since he saved her from a stalker. After nearly a decade of wishing, news of Hematite’s murder shakes her small town in Colorado to its core—but Rory gets a second chance at finding her hero when he reveals he’s not actually dead. Kane Kelly is hiding two things from his best friend Rory: his secret identity as Hematite and his romantic feelings for her. As Kane seeks the truth about his superpowers, an anonymous YouTuber named Stone Breaker tries to stop him to protect the local crime ring responsible. When Rory learns who is behind the YouTube channel and teams up with her hero, she becomes Stone Breaker’s next target and blurs the line between Kane’s double lives. Rory must face her past traumas headfirst to save Kane’s identity and her own life.
