This is the second book in the Shatter Me series. Juliette is trying to learn how to control
her ability to kill others with her touch, and she learns that she has an
inhuman strength that can cause earthquakes.
As she lives in the underground building of Omega, she is trying to fit
in with the other people who are harbored there and when she lets her guard
down she begins to have friends outside of her boyfriend, Adam. Juliette and Adam’s relationship takes a turn
when they figure out what power Adam has that makes him able to touch Juliette
without being killed. As the war between
the Reestablishment and Omega comes to a head, Juliette is put at
the forefront and comes face to face with the enemy-Warner, a boy she can’t
seem to make herself hate.
I love love
this series. The writing style is
amazing and the author makes the reader feel what the characters are
feeling. The chemistry between Juliette
and Warner is intense and Juliette’s emotions about her abilities and her new
need to socialize are expressed well. I
read the novella, Destroy Me (book #1.5) before this book and would recommend
reading it as well. I love this author
and will read anything she writes-good stuff.
The swear count is high, and it mostly comes from one specific
character, but it doesn’t take away from the overall story.
