"You are not going to be the last face I see. You are not going to be my murderer. I have things to do, and I'm going to do them." 

All Bella Swan planned to do was go on a date and have a nice night out. Although she believed in the prospect of true love and wasn't happy when her best friend Rosalie set her up with someone she met on an online dating website, the young woman agreed to go out with Mike Newton to humor her. After all, he sounded like a nice enough guy and Bella was willing to give him and their date a chance - what could go wrong, right? But from the moment she comes face to face with the blue-eyed man, things go downhill. Bella is kidnapped and locked up; held against her will by a terrifyingly sick man...

While Bella experiences her worst nightmare, having no hope that she'll ever be found, Rosalie and her husband Emmett have started looking for their friend. Together with the FBI, they suspect Newton behind Bella's disappearance and contact Edward Cullen, the CEO of the online dating website where Bella met Mike to tell him about the recent events. Edward is more than devastated that his website was at least partially responsible for the terrible fate this young woman has found herself in and wants nothing more than to help the brown-eyed girl. Despite the fact that he doesn't know Bella at all, Edward feels extremely guilty that she is suffering because his website was used for the wrong purpose. If he had only made it safer, the whole thing might have never happened in the first place. He vows to himself to do anything he can to get Bella back home, alive and healthy. But will he also be able to bring her back as the same person she was before? Will she be able to forget the monster who brought her so much pain and love the man who rescued her instead?

Lost Half is a story that has touched my heart in more ways than one and it's definitely a must read! LyricalKris has yet again managed to mesmerize me with another one of her stories. The characters in this story, especially Edward and Bella, are people with true bravery. I absolutely fell in love with this Edward, whose strong connection with Bella is based on love as well as shared pain. He can somewhat relate to what Bella goes through and, through that, is able to bring her back to health. That in and of itself is an immensely difficult thing to do, given the traumatic events that Bella has experienced, which brings me to warn you all that this story is rated MA for a reason! I highly suggest that you only read the fanfic if you are 18 or older because the story deals with violent details of abuse and rape. Still, I don't want to scare you away from this beautiful piece of fiction, you would definitely miss out on something wonderful! Lost Half definitely promotes the message to never give up, no matter what, something that really impressed me! Add to that the sweet love developing between Edward and Bella and you have story that you really should read!!!

Lost Half consists of 30 chapters and a total of 100,314 words. The story is rated MA for graphic violence/abuse, language, mention of rape, and dark content.
