Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 30th 3017
Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Snow-Soon Lee kicks ass--literally. She teaches at her family-owned martial arts gym, The Academy, and cares more about training to be the next Bruce Lee than hooking up. In fact, Snow's never even been kissed. But when Girls Night rolls around, Snow decides to prove to her friends (and herself) that she's not just some boring tomboy. Impulsively, she kisses a hot stranger and even manages to escape his two security guards. One stolen kiss… Ash Stryker's senior year sucks. His politician father pulled him out of Chariot High, separating him from his championship-winning soccer team. Now he's stuck at a prissy private school with no friends, no team and no chance of being scouted. On top of that, thanks to the death threats his dad's received, Ash has a security tail aka professional babysitters. When the mystery girl from the movies shows up at his school, rappelling from the rafters, Ash knows one thing: he won't let her get away again. One interesting job proposition… After a seemingly random attack, Ash's mother surprises everyone. She hires Snow to be Ash's personal bodyguard until after the election. But can Snow's kick-ass skills hold up against the rising threats to Ash's family? More importantly, can Ash convince his ninja girl to screw ethics and kiss him again? Opposites attract in this YA romance where a smooth talker meets his match in the tough girl who (literally) sweeps him off his feet. Moral of the story: Sometimes even bad boys need a bodyguard.

five boundless stars
Ninja Girl is such a great young adult read. I fell in love with Snow and Ash.
The first book I read of Cookies and was her Debut Adorkable. I loved it. The writing was wonderful. With Ninja Girl, I feel she’s gotten even better. This is a YA with a twist. It has everything, honestly.
Snow isn’t your average run of the mill girl character. She’s strong willed and kicks major butt. Also, I love that she loves Bruce Lee. Ash, is one of those guys, who just has girls falling at his feet. But he’s taken by Snow. And I couldn’t blame him. Their connection I felt and was totally believable.
There are a lot of twists in this story. It has a who done it kind of thing and though you could probably guess who the bad guys were, I still loved it. I’ve said this before, but Cookie is quickly becoming one of my favs. She has a style of writing, that really connects you to these characters. And by far that's one of the most important things to me.
If you love a great Young Adult Novel, pick up Ninja Girl. Even just grab her debut. You won’t be disappointed. Overall, It’s Five Boundless Stars from me.
