Caged Warrior Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
McCutcheon Daniels' life is full of bone-cracking violence. As a star fighter in the gritty underground Mixed Martial Arts circuit in the poorest section of Detroit, McCutcheon fights under the tutelage of his volatile and violent father, not so much for himself but to survive as protector of his beloved five-year old sister, Gemma. We get to know McCutcheon as he battles opponents who are literally trying to kill him and he struggles to find a way to protect her and himself. Along the way, he decides to trust a teacher who has taken an interest in him and discovers the truth about his mother who seemingly disappeared on his thirteenth birthday. A ferocious novel, Caged Warrior is like a great fight movie, a tour-de-force of relentless conflict, but one that is leavened with rich characters and meaningful and loving relationships.

“A gritty, dirty look into the violent world of underground fighting and the dynamics of a family torn apart by a father’s determination to thrust his son into the cage.”This is a somewhat difficult review to write. “Caged Warrior” isn’t the type of book I would normally pick out for myself. If I hadn’t been given an ARC to review, I probably would never have read the book. However, I’m so glad I was given the opportunity to review this title.The author, Alan Sitomer, has an incredibly strong voice. The main character, McCutcheon, is written extremely well. I was pulled inside his head and FELT his emotions—not just read them. I found myself deeply involved in his conflicting views on what he was forced to do and what he wanted to do. His character development was outstanding.While I think the McCutcheon’s character was strong, I think some of the other characters could have been stronger. That’s my only criticism, if you can call it that. His father was in and out of the picture, but I got a clear idea of who he was and what he expected of his son.But what I thought was missing was more scenes with Gemma. Since McCutcheon’s driving force through the book, all his decisions, everything he did was for the welfare of Gemma, I thought there should have been more development of her character, especially scenes with her and the MC. I think the story would have been that much more intense if there had been two or three very emotional/touching scenes between Gemma and McCutcheon. However, as it is, I was still able to feel his connection and love for her.I loved the plot. I think it was fresh and new. Yes it was gritty. Yes it was violent. Yes there’s strong language.
