I was given a copy of Camo Angel By Cassandra Kirkpatrick in exchange for a review.The story starts off with an excited girl getting ready for graduation. Abby's family comes together for this special event, but unfortunately not everyone made it to the ceremony and what should have been one of the happiest days of Abby's life turned into one of the worst. On top of that, she had to deal with her abusive father. Lucky for her, a childhood friend and the love of her life is there to bring her comfort and be a distraction from the bad events. Just when things are starting to look up for Abby, she discovers a secret that destroys her.I don't want to give anything away so will stop the resume here, but will say that this was a very emotional and intense book with a shocking ending. Although this was a good read, it is only suitable for mature adults since it deals with physical and verbal abuse, teen pregnancy, kidnapping, torture, and even rape. There are also several descriptive sex scenes.The story felt very real the majority of the time, and I was drawn to it. Each chapter described the points of views of a different character, which was interesting; it helped me see a bigger picture.Cassandra is a good story teller who writes very well. I am glad to have had the pleasure of reading her book.
