Breaking Point by Kristen Simmons
Breaking Point is the sequel to Article 5. I enjoyed Article 5, mostly because I feel that it has a very plausible premise. The only thing that disappointed me about the first book is that the reader gets very little background on how society evolved to this point. (Read my Article 5 review here.) Breaking Point began filling in many of those gaps that the first book left for us. Like the first book, this was a fast-paced, action-packed read that was difficult to put down. Breaking Point picks up shortly after the end of Article 5. Ember and Chase are working with the resistance against the Moral Miltia and the government's Moral Statutes. They are also helping Sean in his search to find Rebecca, the girl who tried to help Ember escape from the reform school early in the first book. The government believes that Chase is dead, but they have put Ember on their most wanted list. They suspect that she is a sniper who has been killing off soldiers. This book leaves a lot of unanswered questions, which I hope will be answered in the final book of the trilogy.
