Chelsea Cain's One Kick has all the bones of a great thriller--a
high-octane story that will never let you catch your breath,
non-stop action, and twists galore. But it's Kick Lannigan that
really gives this stellar read its heart and soul. Kick is a total
badass, armed and dangerous. But you'll cheer for her, worry about
her--and you'll pray that, if you ever meet anyone like her, she'll
be on your side. Chelsea Cain has outdone herself -- and that's no
small feat.--Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of In
the Blood
In her Heartsick series Cain might cut your heart out. With One
