Shock Point is an extremely riveting novel; this is the kind of book you can’t put down. You can read this while on a long road trip or even late into Friday night. Basically, it’s about a girl named Cassie with a two-faced therapist stepfather whom she learned had been administering illegal drugs to his teenage patients. The worse news? Three of these patients committed suicide, and nobody, except a friend of hers, knows that it was caused by Cassie’s stepfather. Before she and her friend can confide about this before anymore teenagers die from the hands of the so-called therapist, Cassie gets shipped off to a camp that’s more like prison than a camp. Apparently she gets sent off because her stepfather “found” meth in her room, though Cassie knew he planted it there to prevent her from revealing his crime. Worst yet, her mother has absolutely no idea and is falling for Cassie’s stepfather’s lies.

She goes through tons of unbelievable things while at the prison. The prison part was the best part for me. It was so realistic and graphic at the same time… this was a real thriller! You should totally go for this book if you’re in for an exciting narration of her trying to escape the prison (which has a cliff, barb wires, etc.). It was really awesome!!!
