The Fixer by HelenKay Dimon
4.0
Maybe you guys can remember the TV series Cold Case with detective Lilly Rush? I loved that series and still watch reruns when I can. But getting back to the review.
Here cold cases are solved but its better. Cause there are alpha males and kickarse plots.
Characters & Chemistry.
Emery Finn has based her life around solving what happened to her cousin, her best friend Tiffany. She thinks she has finally found a link that will break the case open. She has been searching for Wren. She is convinced that he/she/it has something to do with her cousin missing.
Emery is a strong character and she knows her boundaries when it comes to finding out the truth. She is loyal to the end and the culprit is closer to her than she thinks. Through book 5 I knew who dunnit but I still enjoyed trying to figure out how and why it was done.
Wren is The Fixer. You have a problem? He can help you. It is vigilante justice but we all know that the system doesn’t always work. He is a creep (according to Emery) he likes to call himself mysterious. He is a recluse, elusive and he never steps into the limelight until now. He doesn’t do anything he wants to do.
I adore Wren (Levi) and his social awkwardness and that he has problems with social cues. He is strong and although he thinks he doesn’t care it is quite the opposite. He at a very young age also experienced loss and since then hasn’t wanted any attention.
Emery & Wren don’t get off to a good start.
“We need to come to an understanding” “Uh-huh, well, maybe we should understand that this seat is already taken,” she said. “By?” “Literally anyone else who wants it.”
But even with the slight animosity at the beginning they have chemistry. But with Wren’s demons and his social ineptness and the cold case heating up they get closer. Emery relies on Wren although she doesn’t really know anything about him.
What I enjoyed most is the banter between these two.
Writing, Plot & Pace.
I love this author's writing. The story and characters are engaging, and I loved getting to know them. Compared to book 5 I feel as if the author had some struggles with this book here. She has everything to make this book a hit be it the suspense, the banter and especially romance and the in-depth characters. There was something that didn’t make it a 5 star but I can’t pinpoint it if I’m being honest. This is slow in the romance build-up which is what I need at the moment. There is no other woman drama.
One of kind plot here. Through reading book 5 I still didn’t anticipate some things. There was never a dull moment and I had a lot of fun with this book.
Verdict.
I read the The Protector (book 5) in the series and just knew I had to go back to the beginning cause when I met Wren in that book I knew that is book was gonna be good. I recommend this book so start the series as I can see awesome things coming.
