Runaway. Experiment. Superhero?The streets were the safest place for Dani, until the night she was caught by traffickers who sold her to a laboratory. She survived five years of experiments: biotech implants, gene therapy, and other things she could barely comprehend. The pain, though, that she understood. The lab pushed her body past its limits, drove her mind to its darkest corners, but somehow her spirit remained unbroken. She escaped, and sought refuge on the streets once again. But this time she doesn’t run away from cries for help. Now, she runs toward them.
Playboy. Dilettante. Sidekick?Kevin Moynihan is the youngest son of Point Sable’s most wealthy and storied family. A permanent fixture in the society pages, he’s known for his good looks, his charm, and his aversion to an honest day’s work. His life is a whirlwind of fast women, faster cars, all night parties and endless champagne – until his latest drunk and disorderly charge lands him a stint doing community service in the roughest part of town. The part of town where someone is always screaming for help.
A chance meeting will bring two unlikely people together – first as reluctant allies, then friends, and finally partners.
Disruptor by Sonya Clark delivered an intense, action-packed tale that kept me flipping the pages. A reluctant, damaged and kick-ass heroine meets spoiled rich boy and a Superhero is born.
Do you love stories about superheroes? Disruptor has all the elements necessary to feed your inner nerd.
- Superhero Dani lives in the streets and abandoned buildings of Point Sable since she escaped the Biotech lab that experimented on her for the past five years. Her time there left her with super abilities like strength, agility, hearing and more. Despite her fear of discovery she finds it hard to ignore the cries of distress in the middle of night. She unexpectedly finds herself protecting the weak and in just six short months her acts of heroism are whispered about and she has become an urban legend.
- Sidekick Kevin Moynihan is one of Point Sable’s most wealthiest playboys. A drunk and disorderly charge lands him on probation and working the soup kitchen on the lower east side. Kevin may act like a spoiled brat, but as Clark peels back his layers we find there is smarts, talent and humor behind that killer smile. He meets Dani on the streets, and soon becomes more than just a sidekick.
- Villains Crime families make up sections of the Point Sable and some neighborhoods look straight out of a post-apocalyptic movie. These are the neighborhoods where the thugs have police on their payroll, and calls for help go unanswered. When Dani sees a group of young women being removed from a ship by Russian thugs she follows. The story that unfolds was intense with kick-ass action scenes as we learn more about Dani and watch her growth.
- Informants Others within the neighborhood provide information as Dani slowly builds alliances.
- Secret Agency From Dani we learn about her years at the Biotech Lab. Implants, gene therapy, and other things she could barely comprehend but for what purpose? And who’s footing the bill? Clark shared a chapter from within this agency and it completely left me wanting more. It also hinted at more a stories about the Disruptor.
I had a blast reading the Disruptor and hope that Sonya Clark delivers more stories about this kick-ass heroine and her sexy sidekick.

Sounds like Disruptor had everything you need in an action packed read! The right mix of characters and a fab storyline!
kimbacaffeinate
It was fun Naomi and yes I liked the different characters.
Jennifer
I’ve read a couple of superhero books. Big Time series by Jennifer Estep, We Don’t Need Another Hero by Sierra Dean, Justice by Jennifer Harlow which is the first book in a trilogy. I need to get back to Estep and Harlow’s series and finish them up. This one sounds fun.
kimbacaffeinate
I have only read Sanderson’s trilogy but this was a ton of fun.
Lexxie
This sounds fantastic, Kim, and exactly like my kind of book, too! I especially love that it’s the female character who is the superhero, and who, even if she’s afraid of discovery, still goes out of her way to save other people!
Great review 🙂
kimbacaffeinate
I liked that twist too Lexxie 🙂

kimbacaffeinate
Thanks Angie..I love secret labs, although I am not eager to be a test subject…lol
Rowena
Ooh, I like your checklist and everything on it. Thanks for the heads up. I love how you read such a wide variety of books. I read a lot of the same kinds of books. I need some variety in my life.
Have a great weekend, Kim!
kimbacaffeinate
Thank you Rowena, I had fun with this review 🙂
Melissa
I’m not huge on superheroes, but I like the idea of a female superhero and a male sidekick ;p
kimbacaffeinate
Right, plus she is kind of reluctant, but her background makes her want to help.
Melissa (Books and Things)
Seriously? You are going to do this to me AGAIN? Add another book to the ever long and never diminishing wishlist? 😉 How do you find all these things that really appeal to me. I love superhero kind of reads and you know I love a kick arse heroine! *sigh* I’m going to be buried. 🙂
kimbacaffeinate
Sorry….not. LOL However this was a quick read, I finished it quite quickly 🙂
Ethan

kimbacaffeinate

Heidi
Sounds like a lot of fun. I haven’t read a super hero book in a long time. Have a wonderful weekend.
kimbacaffeinate
Thanks Heidi, it was different and sometimes that is just the ticket 🙂
Danielle
I can’t recall ever trying to actually read a superhero title other than in a comic book or GN. You have done a good job of presenting this as a fun read. It sounds like it is fast paced as well. I may have to eventually make that leap and this sounds like a good starting pint!
kimbacaffeinate
I have only read one other series but it was set in an alternate world, where as this is in the here and now.
Angela Adams
The blurb reminded me of the old TV show, “The Bionic Women.” Thanks for the post, and have a great weekend.
kimbacaffeinate
I remember the show, this is different but equally cool
Sandy
Love your blog! This sounds like a book I would love so definitely going to keep an eye out for it.
kimbacaffeinate
Thank you Sandy 🙂
Lily B
I love superhero’s but strangely I have not read a lot of books with them in it o.o I am going to have to give stuff like this a try.
kimbacaffeinate
I have only read a few, the last being Sanderson.
Leona
While superhero stories aren’t my thing, but with watching Jessica Jones and Luke Cage I might be changing my mind. This story actually intrigues me, but I’ll wait to see if there are any sequels coming before I jump on the bandwagon.
kimbacaffeinate
There ya go..I love Jessica Jones
Leona
As I was watching episodes of Luke Cage I kept expecting Jessica Jones to pop up and work alongside him.
