One Kick
One Kick | Chelsea Cain
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

Touching on a subject as a mother I usually avoid in books, but it was well handled. I can see this team working together in the future. A young woman, a survivor of human trafficking herself, sets out to find a young boy who disappeared. Lots of action and craziness.

I have been wanting to read this book for quite a while and even more when I discovered it was being turned into a TV show. I have been recording the show so I can watch it when I finished the book and I‘m so ready! This book was really good, however very heartbreaking at times!

I LOVED this book and was so disappointed when the sequel was never going to be published because the author switched publishers, but now One Kick is going to be a limited series on WGN America called Gone. I still wish the sequel would be released!

The writing was great, the plot ok. The main male protagonist is a sadistic jerk. Ick.

This was one of my favorites this year and I was BEYOND disappointed to learn no others would be published 😭 I‘m still partially in denial and I may have cried in frustration a little bit. #GIVEAWAYFAVORITES

Nuwanda I was SO SAD when the sequel got nixed. I loved the Gretchen Lowell series and wanted another! 7y
Smangela @Nuwanda right?! I need to check out that series, maybe it‘ll help satisfy haha! 7y
Nuwanda It's sooooo good! 7y

A #thriller involving child pornography, kidnapping, disastrous relationships, and the disturbing things humans can do to one another. In spite of all that, you have a kick-ass heroine that takes center stage. There's even some occasional dry wit. Listened to this one on audio and I suspect I would have enjoyed it more in print as the narrator's voice was a bit monotone. Otherwise, an entertaining ride!

This is frustrating news 😑😑😑 anyone else read One Kick? It's good, definitely could have some triggers though. Kick is a survivor. Abducted as a child and forced into child pornography now she is grown and trying to find a missing child. Crazy twists and turns, a little gory, a lot sad. I had really mixed feelings while reading - not as to whether I liked the book but it just really throws your heart all over.

Just finished the audio for this one. Whew boy. This book pretty much combined all my no-no's - child physical/sexual abuse and dog harm. Even with those nausea-inducing bits, the main character was a survivor who totally kicks ass and was really easy to root for.

Chelsea Cain does a magnificent job at creating damaged characters. This book is a bit difficult to read, at times, as it focuses on child kidnapping and sexual abuse. Kit Lannigan, though, is a very strong character. She has sass, knows how to protect herself, and is not afraid to kick people where it'll most hurt. Written in Cain's smart, yet at times, sarcastic voice, I truly enjoyed it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Now when does Kick Back come out??

I love, love Cain's writing. I was happy to take a break from Archie to meet Kick. Really enjoyed it.

A unique and wounded main character. A kick-ass side-kick. While gently handled in the book, pedophilia is always a topic tough to read. I will continue to read this series.

alibrarianslibrary Cannot wait for book two! Love Chelsea Cain! 9y
