Anybody read the Samuri Girl series by Carrie Asai?

It's a young adult series, but it's very entertaining.

This is the book description:
When I was six months old, I dropped from the sky -- the lone survivor of a deadly Japanese plane crash. The newspapers named me Heaven. I was adopted by a wealthy family in Tokyo, pampered, and protected. For nineteen years, I thought I was lucky.

I'm learning how wrong I was.

I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE ALERT.

AND I'VE NEVER FELT LESS SAFE.

L.A. IS FILLED WITH NEW AND OLD FRIENDS.

BUT WHICH ONES CAN I TRUST?

I ONLY KNOW THAT I MUST GO ON WITHOUT THE ONE I LOVE.

FRIENDS AND BOYFRIENDS WILL GET ME NOWHERE.

I'LL HAVE TO FIGHT TO FIND MY WAY HOME.

I AM SAMURAI GIRL.


It was a well written six part series. Each part was pretty short and easy to read. The events were as exciting and unpredictable as the characters were.
I recommend this series to everyone.

That looks really cool. I'll have to check them out. Gah, there are so many books on my want-to-read list!
