Reviews

Praise for THE NINJA'S OATH
"Lily Wong is one of the greatest heroines of the 21st century."  ―CrimeReads
"Action-packed...Eldridge excels at orchestrating thrilling martial arts fights, and at brisk plotting. Everything here suggests this series can sustain a long run." ―Publishers Weekly

“Loyalty, family and martial arts take center stage in The Ninja’s Oath, a smashing thriller that climaxes with a death-filled battle royale that would make Quentin Tarantino blush. Tori Eldridge kills it with this tale, interchanging tender family moments with explosive, slashing fisticuffs...The dichotomy of family and violence makes for an exceedingly absorbing read… This might have been my first Tori Eldridge book but it won’t be my last!
―Best Thriller Books

“Tori Eldridge had me at ninja warrior, but this wonderful series offers so much more than propulsive action. Eldridge’s Lily Wong avenger is pure hustle and all heart, a character you’ll not soon forget. Love this series. It offers all the feels.”
—Tracy Clark, two-time Sue Grafton Memorial Award-winning author of HIDE

“One word: Badass. Lily Wong is as tough as she is smart and will go to the ends of the earth to put bad guys in their place. I love this heroine, I love Eldridge’s stories, and I love The Ninja’s Oath. Tense, evocative, with beautifully-choreographed fight scenes that only a trained dancer and martial artist like Eldridge could write, The Ninja’s Oath is as action-packed as it is thrilling.”
—New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee
