This was my first CD Reiss read and I may never be the same again.Kick is not a pretty story. It's dark...raw...base. There's nothing in the MC I identified with. And I couldn't look away - couldn't stop reading. I wanted to know what made Fiona tick - wanted to understand why she's the way she is and how she ended up where she is. Ms. Reiss has a way with words. She skillfully and beautifully conveys Fiona's story. The pacing is perfect and the prose is incredible. I was physically affected by Fiona's story. I was restless and distressed while reading the memories of things she's done.I don't know how to describe this story except to say that Fiona is suffering. From what, I don't yet know. But I believe she's not beyond redemption and I'm disturbingly apprehensive to continue Fiona's journey.*I read this story as part of the Bend Anthology.*
