You're the only good thing left in this world. How many times I've dreamt"-he takes a tight breath- "how many times I've dreamt about being this close to you." He moves to run a hand through his hair before he changes his mind. He whispers, "You have no idea how much I've thought about you. He has not forgotten Juliette nor his feelings for her and now that he has found her, he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. He remembers Juliette as a little girl, struggling with her power, always taunted and dealt cruelly with by others. I'm not going to let you go so easily.Īdam has been searching for Juliette as well, but for very different reasons. "I know everything about you, love." He grins. Power hungry, and mad he wants to Juliette for himself. As the son of the leader of The Reestablishment, he is a dangerous enemy to Juliette. He seems to see through Juliette's defenses and understands her more than most. Often cruel, and yet darkly compelling to Juliette. Warner plays the part of the anti-hero perfectly. They think I'm a doll they can dress up and Twist into prostration. I've been tempted with friendship only to be left betrayed and trapped in this nightmare. I've been prodded tested and thrown in a cell. I've been neglected abandoned ostracized and dragged from my home. I wanted her to learn more about her unique ability, for her to be capable of fighting back, and to find that amazing love she was searching for. I could not help but lovEthis heroine, her strength and resilience. She is taking everything bad that has happened to her and turning them into tools of strength. Juliette is a fighter, a heroine who has traveled to hell and is slowly climbing her way out.

Now Juliette must fight for her freedom and the boy she lost her heart to long ago. Suddenly Juliette's world is turned upside down as two young men enter her life, one from her past that she thought she had lost forever, and the other is someone who covets Juliette for much more than her powers. A weapon against those who fight against all that The Reestablishment stands for. They have come to set Juliette free, but with this freedom comes a high price, for they plan on using her power as a Weapon. Now The Reestablishment wants Juliette and prizes the very powers she has been taught to despise. Locked away and shunned by others, she desperately longs for love, and the comforting touch she's always been deprived of. It's about a 17-year-old girl named Juliette who believes she is cursed and no better than a monster due to her ability to harm others with just the power of her touch. Shatter Me is a romance at heart, with some Dystopian and supernatural elements. Her determination to fight back and reclaim her identity. I was immediately drawn to Juliet's voice, I felt her despair and hope, her fear and strength. There's something very compelling and unique about the way author Tahereh Mafi writes, using a strikeout method, that really brings life to her characters, a deeper meaning to them. Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. My Rating: 5 Stars Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
