Gripped Series #1-6 (Paperback)

Picture this: Friday night lights under Massachusetts skies. Intense friendships that feel like family. First crushes that turn your world upside down. Dreams of college football stardom. The pressure to fit in. The weight of expectations. The quiet search for who you really are.

The multi-award-winning Gripped series follows a connected circle of teens and their families as they face it all—the thrill of young love and deep friendships, the complexity of family dynamics, the sting of betrayal and peer pressure, the invisible battles with mental health and identity, and the very real pull of addiction and the hard-fought path to recovery.

Raw and unflinching yet ultimately uplifting, these books don’t shy away from life’s darkest moments. Instead, they shine a light on resilience, forgiveness, faith, and the strength found in community. Readers call it riveting, relatable, and full of hope—because in Montgomery Lake, even when everything falls apart, the fight to rebuild is always worth it.

Fans of Friday Night Lights, the Field Party series, Kathleen Glasgow’s heartfelt contemporaries, and Heroine will love stepping into Gripped.
