Review: Riveting

Accused is a nonstop thrill ride until the very end. Even though the plot or ones like it have been done before this is still a great read with plenty of twists. I do wish authors did not push the idea that sex between minors is cool. Actions have consequences and teens are rarely ready to deal with the result of a night of passion that goes wrong or ends in a pregnancy. Also the complete lack of involvement by Parker's character Nicky's parents is jarring and disturbing. He should have added their fear for their daughter to his book. Parents should be responsible and Parker missed a great opportunity to make a statement to that effect. Despite its faults this is a story that will keep most readers attention.
