The second installment in Kristen Simmons's fast-paced, gripping YA
dystopian series.
After faking their deaths to escape from prison,
Ember Miller and Chase Jennings have only one goal: to lay low until the
Federal Bureau of Reformation forgets they ever existed.
Near-celebrities now for the increasingly
sensationalized tales of their struggles with the government, Ember and Chase
are recognized and taken in by the Resistance—an underground organization
working to systematically take down the government. At headquarters, all
eyes are on the sniper, an anonymous assassin taking out FBR soldiers one
by one. Rumors are flying about the sniper’s true identity, and Ember and Chase
welcome the diversion….
Until the government posts its most-wanted list,
and their number one suspect is Ember herself.
Orders are shoot to kill, and soldiers are cleared to fire on suspicion
alone. Suddenly Ember can’t even step onto the street without fear of being
recognized, and “laying low” is a joke. Even members of the Resistance are
starting to look at her sideways.
With Chase urging her to run, Ember must decide:
Go into hiding…or fight back?
My Review:
I highly recommend reading Article 5 first before starting
Breaking Point so you understand everything that the characters are going
through.
I loved this book so much. I immediately started reading
this book as soon as I finished Article 5 and I could not put it down. Kristen
has written a world that will leave you completely consumed and emotionally
drained.
I love the connection between Ember and Chase. I just wish
things were better for them and those they love. I loved so many characters and
then there was some that I wanted to kick their butts. The strength of Ember will
leave you amazed and have you forgetting at times that she is only a teenager.
I don’t want to give any spoilers about this book but I hope
you can see how much I loved it and that you’ll read Breaking Point for
yourself and form your own opinion.
5/5 Bloody Fangs

Don't forget to get book 1:
New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned.
The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes.
There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior—instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don't come back.
Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren't always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it's hard for her to forget that people weren't always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. It's hard to forget that life in the United States used to be different.
Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow.
That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings—the only boy Ember has ever loved.
I wanna say Thank You to Kristen Simmons for letting me review her book and to Jean for putting this tour together and letting me participate in it.
