By Kelly Bridgewater
Carly Smith came by her trust
issues honestly. A victim of sex trafficking, she's been at the mercy of
merciless men, ignored by law enforcement officers who should have helped her,
and seemingly rejected by her family. She can't even trust herself to do the
right thing. Though she escaped her captors and is working hard on building a
new life, the past continues to haunt her when she discovers that the man she
couldn't bring herself to report to police for fear of reliving her captivity
is still out there, luring vulnerable girls under the guise of being a modeling
agent.
When her own niece is kidnapped, Carly must overcome her fears and come forward with the information she has before it's too late. When that proves to be not enough, she'll have to go after the perpetrators herself.
Award-winning author Patricia Bradley keeps the suspense taut and the stakes high in this fast-paced story that will have readers turning pages long into the night.

My Thoughts:
Patricia Bradley brought out the horrors of human
trafficking through a woman who escaped and showed the lengths a person would
go to help find someone who is on their way to being put into the human
trafficking world. The whole idea of human trafficking sickens me. I can't
imagine the horrors those young woman have to go through. Bradley used a
current horror and wrote a fast-paced suspense novel that gripped me from the
confusing opening prologue. I really enjoyed the story. This is how a suspense
novel should be composed. Something horrible in the opening chapter with plenty
of down moments filled with equal moments of doubt and cliff-hangers at the end
of the chapters. I didn't want to put the book down. I wanted to see justice
done and Lexi set free from what could be her future. The romance is the way I
like it too. There but not the main focus of the story. I believe fans of
Lynette Eason, Dani Pettrey, and DiAnn Mills would enjoy this novel.
I received a complimentary copy of Justice Delivered by Patricia Bradley from Revell Publishing, but
the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
5 out of 5 stars
