girlinthearenaThis book was very good. The only part I didn't like was the ending because it didn't end how I wanted it to end. It was not exciting like I thought it would be.

Abstract: In Massachusetts, eighteen-year-old Lyn, who has grown up in the public eye as the daughter of seven gladiators, wants nothing less than to follow her mother's path, but her only way of avoiding marriage to the warrior who killed her last stepfather may be to face him in the arena.
