Fight Dirty was definitely an action-packed read! I’ve never
read the author before, but I would certainly pick up more from her. I thought
the author did a good job making a bloodthirsty teenager someone readers could
root for as she infiltrates a corrupt treatment center for troubled teens.
The action starts early and the book is full of suspense.
Although the book has been advertised as a standalone, I probably would
recommend reading the other books in the series first. I think I missed a lot
of character development that would’ve helped me better understand Morgan,
Jenna and Andre.
Despite feeling a little lost from time to time, I did like
the overall plot of the novel. I wanted to find out what was going on at the
treatment facility. Some of the stuff going on a ReNew was really sick. Fight
Dirty is extremely violent and some of the scenes made me queasy.
I’m intrigued by the series and I’ll probably pick up
another book by the author. However, I did like that the book had a solid
conclusion. Morgan is only fifteen, but her maturity and intelligence makes the
book have crossover appeal to both adult suspense readers and young adults.
Rating: 4/5 Stars
