Thoughts: This book is stunning. When I read the original books in the Bodyguard series, they were jaw-dropping good. Now, with the prequel to Bodyguard, Target, Chris Bradford has outdone himself. I loved how Target was a very feminist book, and how everyone thought Charley was going to be a horible Bodyguard becase she's a girl. Also, I loved all the gagets in this book. For example, a phone that turns into a taser, fire and stab proof shirt, and a small cube that gives alerts to your phone when people walk past it. A final thing that I loved about Bodyguard Target, is Charley's backstory. The reason I love Charley's backstory, it gives a very strong monivation to Charley and it connects back into the story. For example, Charley's best friend got kidnapped when Charley was young and the kidnapper used a taser to knock Charley's best friend uconsious; then, later, Charley gets a gaget that is a taser disguised as a phone. Overall, I loved this jaw-dropping, stunning, feminist book.
