Senshi by Cole Gibsen

4.0

Rileigh might finally be mastering her samurai skills and even fine tuning her ability to use her ki. Things are finally returning to normal and she's even excited to spend time with her boyfriend and soul mate Kim. But that doesn't stop a band of ninjas from chasing after her or her ki from going crazy. And to make matters worse, Kim suddenly leaves her for another and none of her friends seem to be around to care. Whoever said being a reincarnate fifteenth century samurai would be easy? As the ninja attacks increase, Rileigh realizes she can't do this alone, but with no friends in sight, she may have to team with someone unexpected just to stay alive long enough to track down who is behind the attacks.

While I found this second installment of the Katana series a bit predictable that didn't stop me from really enjoying the story and a few unexpected surprises along the way. I love the characters and following them through their journeys. I love that Rileigh is finally embracing every part of herself, including her connection to Senshi, her inner warrior. In Senshi, she's becoming a force to be reckoned with and it's fun and exciting to watch her continue develop and grow into a strong, confident person and warrior who doesn't take any crap from anyone. Sure she makes mistakes along the way, but she never stops fighting. I'm excited to dive into the third and final book to see what happens to all my favorite characters.
