RememberElektra? She was one butt-kicking ninja assassin and highly popularMarvel Comics superheroine--certainly one of my favorites. Well nowEilis Flynn has given us Sonika.She's sexy, she's compassionate, and she's dedicated, but stamping outcrime and defeating her arch-villain is her first priority. Most of thetime.

Sonya Penn wasn't an ordinary orphan when her parents diedon her sixteenth birthday. No, she was a superheroine in training. Herparents, Velocity and Sounder, were killed in pursuit of evil villainGentleman Geoffery. Now, twelve years later, Sonya has dropped allpretention of going into the superheroine business for lack oftraining, and maybe will, too. She's now a physical therapist and hergoal is to pay off her late aunt's medical bills.

Meetclient John Arlen. It wasn't easy--she had to crawl through a window todo it. Arlen's a wealthy man but is obsessed with getting hisanti-gravity machine to work so he can kill the man who murdered hisfather and maimed him. Turns out that his enemy is the son of the manwho murdered Sonya's parents; hence, the call to adventure.

Introducing Sonikais a seamless blend of the comic book world with the Happily Ever Afterof romance. We have a sexy, uber-intelligent hero who's protective,even though Sonika could, indeed, kick his ass, too. Depth andcomplexity of character along with non-stop action make this book amust-buy for any reader who's looking for romance, but kicked up anotch.

I'm hoping this is only the first in an Eilis Flynn superheroine series because I can hardly wait to read the next one.
