it's almost

time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.
WOW!!! Everyone must read this series ASAP! I absolutely loved this book! If you thought Shatter Me was good... OH YOU JUST WAIT!
I had heard a lot about Chapter 62 in this book and was afraid I would be extremely upset with it but I wasn't... When I was reading it I was thinking, Oh you better kiss him! Do it right now! YES! Aw you two are perfect together! BUT! Then I remembered Adam and snapped out of that phase then thinking, Oh Tahereh Mafi, you are very tricky! You almost had me there! I was so caught up for a second, but I will NOT give up on Adam! 
AND! can I just say that Juliette gets super Kick Ass! WOW! She is so super awesome in this book!!!! holy moly omg! I mean ya it sucks she can't touch people, but the rest of her power??? WHO WOULDN'T WANT THAT? 
and ya thats about all I can say without giving too much away. 
JUST GO READ THIS NOW!

Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi

Destroy Me 

Genre: Young Adult
Type: Dystopian


 Goodreads Description:


     Perfect for the fans of Shatter Me who are desperately awaiting the release of Unravel Me, this novella-length digital original will bridge the gap between these two novels from the perspective of the villain we all love to hate, Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.



     In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .



     Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.



     Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me,Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

WOW!  I absolutely loved this book! Getting to finally hear Warner's side of the story made this series 10 times better than it was (and it was already incredible)! Also, you get to see inside the journal that Juliette is always writing in! All around it was amazing! I is good to finally see why Warner is so obsessed with Juliette and why he is also such a cold jerk! It is also incredible to see that he is not a blind heartless killer! The part about one of his soldiers that he shot in Shatter Me? I was so mad until I read this book and this was the turning point of my thoughts on Warner, was getting to see why he actually shot the soldier!
BUT, did it do it's job in switching me over to Team Warner? NO! I am sorry but even though I now like Warner... I am absolutely wishing and hoping that Juliette still chooses Adam in the end! So we will see because I have already heard a lot about Chapter 62 in Unravel Me and know that I will probably not be happy about it. 

I give this book

Book Review: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

Shatter Me by +Tahereh Mafi 

Genre: Young Adult

Book Description:
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war– and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.



WOW! I can't find words worthy of saying how awesome this book was! This book was so crazy! I could not put the thing down! In fact, at one point my roommate had to take the book from me just so I could study for a test I had the next day! 
So this book was like X-men meets a crazy awesome dystopian world! I loved everything about it! From Juliette's obsession with numbers(which sounds weird but was a big thing to her because for the longest time it was the only thing that kept her sane) to the amazing love story between Adam and Juliette, to the crazy psycho leader who is also in love with Juliette. Which can I just say Warner is super crazy! Like "so creepy you get the chills from this guy" crazy! 
Another thing I loved about this book was that you never knew what to expect!! You didn't know who to trust and you couldn't guess what was going to happen next! This is so awesome because I am sure everyone will agree with me when I say there is nothing more disappointing when you can guess the whole story before you even get too far into it!
SPOILER ALERT!!! (you have been warned)
So, my heart totally breaks for Juliette in this book. I could not imagine what it would be like to have a deadly touch. But can I also say that she is super lucky she can touch Adam! He is so freaking amazing and just awesome! Yes, you do find out that she can also touch Warner(which if you have heard anything about Unravel Me chapter 62, you know it comes into play) but thats not the point in this book. 
One of the best parts in the book is when Juliette goes super kick butt and ends up busting up a whole concrete wall with her powers because she is so pissed off at Warner! And then later on when she is able to claw through a steel door that is a couple inches thick to save Adam! How awesome is she!!!
I was so on edge the whole time from when Adam and Juliette escape to the end of the book! I was totally rooting for them to get away but it was so stressful when Warner and his army came to where they were hiding out! I was totally biting my nails at that part!
But I love when Kenji finally gets them to safety and Juliette gets a chance at not feeling alone anymore! Getting to hear about the other people's powers at this place is totally awesome!! 

5 out of 5 stars!!!!!

What you will look like while reading this book!
