Kick Lannigan, 21, is a survivor. Abducted at
age six in broad daylight, the police, the public, perhaps even her family
assumed the worst had occurred. And then Kathleen Lannigan was found, alive,
six years later. In the early months following her freedom, as Kick struggled
with PTSD, her parents put her through a litany of therapies, but nothing
helped until the detective who rescued her suggested Kick learn to fight.
Before she was thirteen, Kick learned marksmanship, martial arts, boxing,
archery, and knife throwing. She excelled at every one, vowing she would
never be victimized again. But when two children in the Portland area go
missing in the same month, Kick goes into a tailspin. Then an enigmatic man
Bishop approaches her with a proposition: he is convinced Kick's experiences
and expertise can be used to help rescue the abductees. Little does Kick know
the case will lead directly into her terrifying past…

The premise of One
Kick sounds really unique. I like the fact that it’s a thriller/mystery and
that the main character suffered a traumatic event, but seems to come out of it
a fighter.
This is what I recently added to my ever growing TBR List.
What book are you looking forward to this week??
