BREAKING POINT is the second book I have read by Allison
Brennan and the first solo Lucy Kincaid book. The book I
read previously was SHATTERED in the Max Revere
series, but Lucy Kincaid had a big role in the book as
well. And, I know after reading SHATTERED that I needed
to read more books by Allison Brennan. So, I was very
pleased to get the latest Lucy Kincaid book.
In BREAKING POINT, FBI special agent Lucy Kincaid is asked
by JT Caruso to help him find his sister Bella Caruso who
has infiltrated a prostitution ring to find a missing
girl. Bella herself was sold to a prostitution ring by
her father when she was very young and has made it her
life work to find and save girls in the same situation.
But, this time has she been undercover for a year and
it's getting more and more dangerous for her. The
question is, will Lucy Kincaid be able to find her in
time and is the young girl that is missing still alive?
One thing I noticed with SHATTERED and that is also
noticeable about this book is how much effort Brennan puts
in her stories, she really is fantastic when it comes to
details, character development, and not to mention writing
a compelling story that really moves you. BREAKING POINT
is at its core a deeply unsettling story about how young
girls are taken advantage by ruthless people.
I'm still very new to the Lucy Kincaid series, to all the
characters, but I feel that with each book I get some
more jigsaw pieces of information to add to the whole
picture. One thing I enjoyed besides the case is Lucy's
problem with her new boss. Enjoy is perhaps the wrong
word, but nevertheless, it's a drama that gets the
blood boiling since I can understand Lucy's frustration
with not being trusted and having no field job because of
the situation she is in. It comes to a head in this book,
and it was about time.
As for Bella Caruso, this book may be part of the Lucy
Kincaid series, but Bella has a large part as well. It
was very intense reading about Bella's life as an
undercover doctor as she could be revealed any second and
that would be the end for her.
BREAKING POINT is a marvelous book and I'm looking
forward to reading the next book in the Lucy Kincaid series!
Bella Caruso survived a nightmare of abuse and betrayal.
Today, she has dedicated her life to saving other young
women from the hell that almost killed her—first as an
officer of the law, then by stepping outside the law and
into the darkness where true evil dwells. Now, it appears
that the darkness has taken her once again.
JT Caruso often worries about his sister, given her line of
work. This time, when he learns that Bella is working
undercover to find a missing girl involved in a dangerous
prostitution ring, JT asks FBI Special Agent Lucy Kincaid
for help.
Even with Lucy’s extensive experience in running down human
traffickers, finding Bella will not be easy. Not only
because she is in too deep. But because Bella, who will not
rest until she saves the girl, doesn’t want to be found…
