One Kick: A Novel
by Chelsea Cain
Buy on AmazonI tried reading Heartsick, the first of Chelsea Cain’s thrillers featuring Archie Sheridan and Gretchen Lowell, but it was way too scary for me; I never tried another in the series. So I had no reason to even start One Kick. But begin it I did, and then found that I couldn’t put it down. After suffering from five years of sexual and emotional abuse by her kidnapper, Kick Lannigan was rescued at age 11; now, 10 years later, she’s determined to rescue other kidnapped children. This page-turner has a terrific heroine, a satisfyingly twisty plot and a boffo ending.
