wickedlyromance 's review for:
The Fighter
by Elin Peer
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Raven is one of the children that were in the first combined school in earlier books. Seeing her now as an adult fighting for her dream is so awesome! Having lived in both the Motherlands and in the North she is unique. One of the few people who can say she grew up in both places. From the first time we meet her she wants to do all of the things that the boys do.
The problem is that in the North girls and women are protected, to the point of almost being wrapped in bubble wrap. Yet Raven was raised by a fierce fighter and had access to the first (and only) woman of the North who learned to fight. She knows what she wants and no one is going to stop her. Not even her boss who happens to want to fight for her best friend's hand in marriage.
Leo has been assigned the task of taking care of Raven so he gives her the easiest and most boring task ever. Go through the cold case files and organize them. He will discover what a mistake that was when she decides to investigate one of those cases. He is working towards fighting in the next tournament for Raven's friend. He is certain she will select him when he makes it to the final five. What he didn't count on was is just how far under his skin Raven could get.
These two are so perfect together as characters. This book had me biting my nails. Raven is funny, determined, and can kick butt like no one else. Leo is has a softer side that we get to see here. He doesn't laugh much and is serious but I think that is one of the reasons they work. There was a point in this book though that I was screaming NOOOO right along with the characters. It shattered me. It was unfathomable to me as to what happened but I am certain that it sets things up for the next book perfectly. It was just hard to read. I wanted to burst into tears and felt like I waiting the news on a family member. From beginning to end this book reminded me how much I want to go live in the North with all of those overbearing, sexy men. This review was originally posted on A Lucky Grace
