Summary:
The resistance has taken Chase and Ember in while they are lying low after faking their deaths. Meanwhile, there is an unknown sniper killing FBR soldiers and becoming a hero to the resistance. Everything is going well until the government  posts their wanted list and Ember is their number one suspect for the sniper killings. Soldiers are ordered to "shoot to kill" even if they just suspect someone may be Ember. With an enemy from their past living under the same roof, Chase and Ember must finally decide whether they will fight with the resistance  or run for their lives.

Review:
Breaking Point is a continuous thrill ride that leaves you craving for more. Although the first book in this series is still my favorite, Breaking Point is a close second. It gave me the same desire to never put the book down. I'll admit...I've already put the third book on hold at the book store. The storyline is constantly filled with exciting adventure and leaves you craving for more. I loved loved loved it!

Notable quote or part: 
The moment where Ember and Tucker are in the women's restroom and Ember begins to see Tucker as a young man who was a victim of childhood abuse instead of just the enemy. That moment gives a little insight into why Tucker is the way he is.
"Thats what my mom used to say. It takes a toll, Tuck. That's why he drinks so much. That's why he beats the crap out of us. Because it takes a toll" (Simmons, 344).
