Although I haven't read and reviewed Ninja School Mum by Lizzie Chantree, I think it looks like great fun so I am delighted to share an extract with you as part of the blog tour. There's also a fabulous giveaway at the end of the post to win a SIGNED copy of the book and a pen.
Firstly, let's see what the book is about:
Genre: Chick Lit/ Romance
Release Date: 30th
January 2018
Publisher: Crooked
Cat Books.
Obsessive-compulsive
school mum, Skye, is a lonely elite spy, who is running from her past
whilst trying to protect the future of her child. She tries hard to
fit in with the other parents at her son’s new school, but the only
person who accepts her unconventional way of life is new mother,
Thea.
Thea is feeling harassed by her sister and bored with her life, but she suspects that there is something strange about the new school mum, Skye. Thea has secrets of her own and, although the two become unlikely friends, she hesitates to tell Skye about the father of her own child.
Zack’s new business is growing faster than he could have dreamed but, suddenly, he finds himself the owner of a crumbling estate on the edge of a pretty village, and a single parent to a very demanding child. Could he make a go of things and give his daughter the life she deserved?
When three lives collide, it appears that only one of them is who they seem to be, and you never know who the person next to you in the school playground really is.

Now here's an extract from Chapter 1:
EXTRACT
CHAPTER
1
Skye tapped her feet impatiently as she
looked at the ominous grey clouds hovering above the playground and
tried to rein in the anger she could feel blazing in her chest. She
had learned the skill of outwardly controlling her emotions and
appearing like she hadn’t a care in the world long ago, but if her
son came out of school crying because a more boisterous kid had
poured water on his head, or scribbled all over his carefully written
work again, then she would struggle not to pick the culprit up by his
leg and throw him into the neatly manicured flowerbeds that
surrounded the glossy green windowsills of the school building.
She noticed the quiet red-haired woman
who was sitting on a nearby bench, glancing longingly at the same
group of school mums again. They were all huddled together like a
rugby scrum, chatting busily about their day. Skye wondered why the
redhead didn’t get up and join them if she wanted to be part of the
group so badly, but she could tell from the woman’s body language
that it was never going to happen. She obviously lacked the
confidence or courage to break into such a tight-knit group of
friends.
A movement to Skye’s left caught her
eye and she noticed the woman with the mop of curly hair and
inquisitive eyes watching her again. She was frowning in
concentration before realising that she had been spotted and
seamlessly blended back into the throng of people waiting for their
children to appear.
