This month, it is my pleasure to bring you debut
author, Cole Gibson by giving away her novel Katana.
Do you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Do you like
Kill Bill? Then you will like this book:
"Kill Bill meets Buffy
in this supernatural samurai tale.
Rileigh Martin
would love to believe that adrenaline gave her the uncanny courage and strength
to fend off three muggers. But it doesn’t explain her dreams of
fifteenth-century Japan, the incredible fighting skills she suddenly possesses,
or the strange voice giving her battle tips and danger warnings. While worrying
that she’s going crazy (always a reputation ruiner), Rileigh gets a visit from
Kim, a handsome martial arts instructor, who tells Rileigh she’s harboring the
spirit of a five-hundred-year-old samurai warrior.
Relentlessly
attacked by ninjas, Rileigh has no choice but to master the katana—a deadly
Japanese sword that’s also the key to her past. As the spirit grows stronger
and her feelings for Kim intensify, Rileigh is torn between continuing as the
girl she’s always been and embracing the warrior inside her.

"Fans of
Carrie Asai's Samurai Girl series (Simon & Schuster) will be particularly
interested, but even readers who dislike supernatural story lines will enjoy
this tale of modern samurais."—SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
"An
action-packed page-turner tempered with slow-burning romance."—BOOKLIST"--From
the Barnes and Noble website.

Yay, first person to post! I've been dying to read this book. See you soon!
ReplyDeleteI was very fascinated by the whole 'Buffy and samurai' thing. I admit, I usually kind of hate female protagonists, as they tend to be too whiny, self-centered and not so smart, but this doesn't seem the case!
ReplyDeleteWould love to know how this heroine was born, how Cole created her!
