Samuel and Victoria Penn, aka
Velocity and Sounder, gave their lives in the fight against crime. It is
twelve years later, and the streets still are not safe. Sonya, their
daughter, is a physical therapist; her latest client lives behind locked
gates and refused to answer the door. When she finally talked John Arlen
into letting her into his house she was amazed at what she saw-- an
antigrav propulsion unit.
John is determined to seek revenge on the
Engineer, the evil monster that murdered his father and left him crippled.
The Engineer's father was Gentleman Geoffrey, the man that murdered
Sonya's parents. Sonya and John join forces to stop the Engineer and his
evil gang. Together they face an anti-sensory room, kidnapping, and the
return of an evil villain.
Introducing Sonika by Eilis Flynn is a
bigger than life, tongue- in-cheek, fantasy novel. The plot is humorous
and imaginative. I was reminded a little of the Batman TV series. The
characters are wonderfully real, as real as a superhero can be. John is
adorable in his dorky way. Sonya is strong and smart. I wish I could kick
butt like her. I hope this is the first in a series. Introducing Sonika is
sure to please fans of
fantasy. |

Remember Elektra? She was one butt-kicking ninja
assassin and highly popular Marvel Comics superheroine--certainly one of
my favorites. Well now Eilis Flynn has given us Sonika. She's
sexy, she's compassionate, and she's dedicated, but stamping out crime and
defeating her arch-villain is her first priority. Most of the
time.
Sonya Penn wasn't an ordinary orphan when
her parents died on her sixteenth birthday. No, she was a
superheroine in training. Her parents, Velocity and Sounder, were
killed in pursuit of evil villain Gentleman Geoffrey. Now, twelve
years later, Sonya has dropped all pretension of going into the
superheroine business for lack of training, and maybe will, too.
She's now a physical therapist and her goal is to pay off her late aunt's
medical bills.
Meet client John Arlen. It
wasn't easy--she had to crawl through a window to do it. Arlen's a
wealthy man but is obsessed with getting his anti-gravity machine to work
so he can kill the man who murdered his father and maimed him. Turns
out that his enemy is the son of the man who murdered Sonya's parents;
hence, the call to adventure.
Introducing Sonika is a seamless
blend of the comic book world with the Happily Ever After of
romance. We have a sexy, uber-intelligent hero who's protective,
even though Sonika could, indeed, kick his ass, too. Depth and
complexity of character along with non-stop action make this book a
must-buy for any reader who's looking for romance, but kicked up a
notch.
I'm hoping this is only the first in an Eilis Flynn
superheroine series because I can hardly wait to read the next
one.
