The Ninja Daughter

By: Tori Eldridge

Narrated by: Natalie Naudus

The Ninja Daughter is an action-packed thriller about a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja with Joy Luck Club family issues who fights the Los Angeles Ukrainian mob, sex traffickers, and her own family to save two desperate women and an innocent child.

After her sister is raped and murdered, Lily Wong dedicates her life and ninja skills to the protection of women. But her mission is complicated. Not only does she live above the Chinese restaurant owned by her Norwegian father and inspired by the recipes of her Chinese mother, but she has to hide her true self from her Hong Kong tiger mom, who is already disappointed at her less-than-feminine ways, and who would be horrified if she knew what she had become.

But when a woman and her son she escorted safely to an abused women’s shelter return home to dangerous consequences, Lily is forced to not only confront her family and her past, but team up with a mysterious - and very lethal - stranger to rescue them.

Time-Passer

it was "fine" if not slightly boring. The characters felt one-dimensional, contrived, and sterotyped. The reader has incredible diction and facility with accents. However, she sounds like an exaggerated, uppercrust New England patrician. I found it off-putting. I think I'll bypass the rest of the series.

Surprisingly good...

...this is a genre or subject that normally I would not be inclined to read. However, through several recommendations in the Facebook book group I am in, I decided to try it. It was a wonderful story!

I love this series

Beautifully written and the narrative is spot looking forward to The Ninjas Oath book number 4 in this series. A home run for Tori Eldridge 😎

Worth Going Back For

I started with “Ninja Betrayed” because that was the book the Capitol Crimes Chapter featured on their Book Club. (I still need to review it, sorry Tori.) I fell in love with Lily Wong and just had to know her back story. Ninja’s Daughter didn’t disappoint. I am fascinated by this character and can’t wait to read the next book in this series The Ninja’s Blade. The added bonus of the cultural and language primer at the end drew me even more into Lily’s world. Thanks!

Entertaining listen

It took me a while to get into this story. I didn't know what was going on - or what the point of the story was until Chapter 6. Once I understood what was going on, it developed into an entertaining story. The narrator did an excellent job.
