Disruption by Jessica Shirvington: A Review

I didn’t expect to get drawn into Maggie Steven’s life as quickly as I did. I read the blurb and thought Disruption sounded like my kind of book but wasn’t quite prepared to have found a book that I didn’t want to put down. Maggie Stevens is on a mission to save her father from …
