About this audiobook
Raised to kill by her father, a convicted serial killer, Morgan’s problems aren’t those of the average teen. She wants only one thing: to protect her freedom and not get locked away. So, despite ongoing temptation and a bloody past, Morgan swears off murder.
Seeking to tame her sociopathic instincts, Morgan cons her way into working with security consultants Jenna Galloway and Andre Stone. For their first case, Morgan goes undercover to infiltrate ReNew, a treatment center for troubled teens, to investigate the suicide of a fourteen-year-old girl sent there by her wealthy parents.
While Jenna and Andre search for evidence from the outside, Morgan endures her own worst nightmare posing as an inmate. It isn’t long before she discovers that ReNew’s unstable patients are the ones who are really in charge—and that some of their psychopathic tendencies rival her own.
Even if Morgan can discover the truth behind the girl’s death and escape ReNew alive, what—or who—might be waiting for her on the outside?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was gifted a copy of “Fight Dirty” by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is no way changes my opinion of this book.
This is my first novel by CJ Lyons, and I was not aware that the main female character, Morgan, is from another novel in her series until the end, but that does not take away from this book. I absolutely loved “Fight Dirty”, and would love to read more books that Morgan appears in.
Morgan is the 15 year old daughter of a famous serial killer (who is thankfully in prison). However, his hold over her even from behind bars is rather strong. She is determined to be nothing like him, and to tame her killer instincts. She wants to just be a Norm (a name she gave non-killers), and no longer ‘fish’, what her father referred to his act of finding his next victim.
Morgan regularly sees a therapist, Nick, to help keep herself in check, and for the most part, it keeps the urges at bay. But she will kill if necessary, she has in the past.
Morgan killed a few gang members that had every intent on killing ex-FBI Agent, Jenna. She feels that helps redeems what she may have done when her father was in the free world, and hopes it helps her become closer to being a Norm (though she knows that will never truly happen).
Jenna and her boyfriend, Andre, an ex-Marine, have opened their own PI Business. Morgan puts herself in the middle of the business, much to Jenna’s dismay. But when a big case lands on their desk before they even officially open for business, they realize just how much they may need Morgan’s assistance.
Morgan is sent in under-cover to a program that is supposed to help troubled teens, however the parents of a daughter who committed suicide the night she came home, believes otherwise. Why would she come home from that program, and then hang herself? Is there more going on inside those concrete walls and fence than what meets the eye? And can Morgan control her “fish”-like tendencies while on the inside, and help other children who may suffer a similar fate if the place is not shut down soon.
This is definitely a 5 star read! I look forward to reading more about Morgan, especially after the last conversation she has with her father. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fight Dirty, A Renegade Justice Novel by CJ Lyons is a fast paced suspense filled thriller. I gave it five stars from start to finish.Morgan had been raised by her sociopathic murdering father. She realized she didn't want to end life imprisoned so decided to stop killing. Working with Jenna Galloway & Andre Stone as security consultants, she went undercover to investigate the killing of a fourteen year old girl who had been sent to ReNew. It was torture for her voluntarily to be imprisoned there.Can she find out who had killed Breeanna? Can she make that discovery before she is killed?I received a complimentary kindle copy from the publisher, Thomas & Mercer and from NetGalley. That did not change my opinion for this review.
