Book Review: Samurai Girl: Book of the Shadows

The lone survivor of a plane crash that fell from the sky as an infant, named by the media Heaven Toko was taken in by a rich family but is the wealth built on the deaths of others and was her father working with the yakuza?

Many questions run through heaven's head as she does her best to unveil the shadow covering her family's past. Including what the truth was behind her brother, Ohiko's, death. Fed lies her entire life and believing them Heaven is sick of it and now wants to find the truth and only the truth but what happens when her family rivals are in the area including her alleged husband "Teddy."

This book is for the mature as it includes blood, drama, knock outs and a few…sexual references but nothing gets too far out of hand so I suggest girls of around thirteen to twenty or older if you enjoy novels. This book is filled with action and a little bit of drama along with a small bit of asian culture and weaponry.

The author has done a great job giving you a basis of what the character's personality is like and making you want to read the book through to the end. My favourite part was one of the final scenes where Heaven ends up fighting a group of men at an arranged meet up and whether she wins or not depends…are you willing to read the book?

  1. Sounds scary but engaging. I may even read it myself. Please add the book over or artwork.
