Disruption by Jessica Shirvington

Disruption (Disruption, #1)

by Jessica Shirvington

What if a microchip could identify your perfect match?
What if it could be used against you and the ones you love?

Eight years ago, Mercer Corporation’s M-Bands became mandatory. An evolution of the smartphone, the bracelets promised an easier life. Instead, they have come to control it.

Two years ago, Maggie Stevens watched helplessly as one of the people she loved most was taken from her, shattering her world as she knew it.

Now, Maggie is ready. And Quentin Mercer – heir to the M-Corp empire – has become key to Maggie’s plan. But as the pieces of her dangerous design fall into place, could Quentin’s involvement destroy everything she’s fought for?

In a world full of broken promises, the ones Maggie must keep could be the most heartbreaking.

Jessica Shirvington is one of those authors that I often trip over myself to get her books. She won me over (wholeheartedly) with the Violet Eden series and now she has me on pins and needles waiting to see what will happen in this Disruption series.

DISRUPTION takes something as simple as a microchip and turns it into one of those not too off in the future horrors that we all hope will never happen. On a disturbing level, the government has bought into a huge company's ideals about using microchips to control and monitor it's citizens. But there is one teenage girl who hasn't bought into what the rest of society seemingly has. She determined to find her father and piece back her family.

Maggie is hard. She doesn't show a lot of emotion. And she's willing to blackmail people to get them to help her however she needs them. But the sad thing is, she's alone. The stress of training, plotting and searching takes it toll on her. She doesn't want anyone to see it and she does well at hiding it. But the reader can sense it and knows at some point and time she's going to need to start leaning on someone. That someone ends up being a person she wants to use in her quest. The youngest son of the man who started the use of the microchip. Quin is so much more than Maggie ever planned on.

As Maggie discovers, Quin is perfect for her. He balances out her crazy, fly by the seat of your pants attitude. He listens to her, argues with her and takes care of her (even when she's not at her most lovable). Even when Quin discovers the circumstances of how and he Maggie ended up "together" he was still trying to protect her. That is what I loved about this couple. Maggie opened Quin's eyes to a lot. He knew what type of person she was and understood she'd done some less than stellar things, but he saw beneath all of that to who she really is. The toll of what she was doing. And Maggie saw the real Quin. He was more than the privileged, playboy youngest son of Garrett Mercer. He was someone she would risk everything for.

This was an absolutely thrilling read that left me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to seeing how Maggie and Quin fair when CORRUPTION comes out in January 2017.
