Review: Missing Link

Missing Link by Addison Jane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was on rollercoaster of emotions to read. In the beginning you are just stunned at what is happening that you don't have time to register the he'll that Sam will have to face. Then we are slammed forward two years into Sam's hell. For one instance of a brief second we are.lead to think things might not be bad as KC is teaching her to fight.

“I coulda had you.” He smiled at me, the bright smile of a seasoned fighter who was missing a tooth here or there and had a seriously wonky nose to match. “Yes, you could have. But you still have a lot to learn.”

That line of thinking is cut short when Sam returns home.

"I needed him to believe I was a strong woman who appreciated everything he had given me and how he looked after me. Because if I didn’t, he’d made it quite clear, on the odd occasion, how easily he could sell me on the black market. "

A short time later, during the night Sam is awoken by men yelling. This is when we first meet Lincoln. Standing toe to toe with Charlie. When Sam's eyes meet Lincoln, she immediately trusts him and feels she.must save the only man in 2 years she has ever seen stand up to Charlie.

“Throw him out the door now…” I nodded toward Lincoln, “…and I’ll let you have anything, and do anything with me that you want.”

An elaborate plan is hatched because Lincoln knows this woman. They are connected, he recognised her the moment he laid eyes on her. The only problem getting Sam on board.

“You have a life to go back to, Link. I won’t let him take your freedom, too.” His eyes shot wide open with surprise. “How long have you been here?” I frowned. I’d already been standing there too long. “You need to go. Now.”

It's not until a year later when things take a turn for the worse a year later that Sam knows she will not make it out alive if she doesn't leave. Then she remembers Lincoln offer of help.

“Link here.” Tears seeped through my tough defenses and a sob broke from my throat. “Hello?” “Save me, Link,” I croaked out between sobs. "

From here the story moves even faster and emotions burn fierce. Sam learns the connection her and Lincoln share from her past. Also, the bond she shares with Lincoln grows as Sam has.her first breath of freedom in 3 years. However, things are not rainbows and sunshine as she tries to move forward. Her relationship with her brother is questioned and it almost breaks her. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end when Charlie has finds her again. But will her strength, backbone, and love for family and freedom get her killed??

“I will never stop,” I repeated loudly, flicking my eyes up to meet his. “For the rest of my life I will never stop. I won’t stop fighting, I won’t stop trying to escape you, I won’t stop believing that there’s something better out there for me, and I won’t stop hating you with all the passion and life that I possess in my body.”

I can't.go any further without giving away the details. so many plot twists and turns are revealed in the last few chapter's, it will have you turning the pages faster and faster.

But sometimes, things are not always as they seem. The people you think you can't trust are the ones you can. Will Sam escape Charlie or will she be given to Lucas to be broken? Will Charlie die or meet or get away with everything?

Who is at the top of this sex-slave ring? What happened to Isla? Answers I can't wait for in the next installment of The Finders, Finding Rome!
