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.
In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a world as riveting as The Hunger Games and a superhero story as thrilling as The X-Men. Full of pulse-pounding romance, intoxicating villainy, and high-stakes choices, Shatter Me is a fresh and original dystopian novel—with a paranormal twist—that will leave readers anxiously awaiting its sequel.
Set after Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me and before Unravel Me, the spellbinding sequel, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.
In 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.

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.

Ok this one I have had for sometime. I snagged a copy from the used bookstore and it pretty much sat on my shelf forever! Well after going to a book signing where the author signed my book. She was very disappointed that I hadn't read it yet. So on my way home (which was a 4 hour drive back to Lakeland from Miami) I started Shatter Me! And well I have to say that I LOVED IT!! It did take a little longer to get through it than normal but having a massive panic attack can do that. (im fine)
Mafi has such a way with words that her book is almost poetry. Without the nasty In Verse script that some author have tried to use. Shatter Me is an unforgettable story that will stick with you well after you finish the last page. It is sexy, scary and just plan awesome! This being a debut is made it even better. Mafi's writing is breathtaking with amazing writing and wonderful characters. I dont know how anyone can be a fan of Warner I am a DEFF fan of Adam!
So now I got my friend Frishawn from WTF Are You Reading? to read it as well! And I am not permitted to read Unravel Me until she finishes Shatter Me and Destroy Me so we can read it together lol! Its just that good!!
As for Destroy Me I am not that big on Novellas most of the time. But, Destroy Me was so good that I just couldnt put it down! I cant wait to read Unravel Me and I really cant wait for the next book that she has in the works!! Here is one blogger hoping for an ARC!!!
I just finished Unravel Me and decided to just add that review to this post as well. For the fact that I just cant split up the reviews. This series is so twisted in not only the story but, with a love triangle that I just didnt see coming!! This series is so amazing that I am going to shatter, Destroy, Unravel and well just plain fall apart until I get to snag book three.
*The copies of this book were purchased by me.*
