Kim Oh Series
The cover illustrations and the title promise a kick-ass dangerous woman. But Kim Oh starts off as a nerd and at the end of the first book has developed very little.
Slow-moving and humourless, this series is an acquired taste. The making of a hitwoman has been done better in Nikita/Assassin.

Real Dangerous Girl, K. W. Jeter |
Real Dangerous Girl A quiet, shabbily-dressed Korean-descended girl works as book-keeper/accountant for a dubious business enterprise. She keeps two sets of books and pays off the hitman, all on the promise that one day she will be the Chief Financial Officer. But one day she arrives to find a slicked-back Harvard boy sitting in the office she had expected for herself?
What is a girl to do? In her case she attacks her employer with her fingernails and is ejected by the chief of security like so much trash into the alley. She picks herself up and decides it's over for her ex-employer. By the end of the book, he is still relatively unharmed. |
