Ninja Girl by Cookie O'Gorman
2.0
I rated this book 2.5 stars.
I just recently finished Cookie O'Gorman's other book Adorkable and I thought why not read her other book because it follows a character from Adorkable.
I will say I did like this book because it was cute and a fast read. The two main characters made me smile often. The storyline of the book captured my attention because one of the main characters, Snow is into a martial arts and she is asked to become Ash's bodyguard (Character from Adokable). They have a connection with each other right at the beginning with a stolen kiss. Through the book you get a glimpse of both perspectives and you know get to see how they react to each other. Throughout the book there is teenage drama, cute bantering and an unknown threat on Ash's family.
Ninja Girl is very predictable and even though there is drama throughout the whole book, I felt like it was lacking the edge it wanted to give. One of the 'mean girls' in the story seemed like it was written to make readers hate her. I didn't really hate her or acknowledge her after a while when she popped up randomly in the book. Despite Snow hating her, there is no real fight between them, just smart remarks. Also, I wanted more story from the secondary characters because they were a big part of Snow's life. We only get a snippet into their friendships and miss out on a real connection between each character. The main reason of the book is to find out who the bad guys are and when the story comes to an end it happens so fast and you're just left with feeling a little disappointed.
