Book Eight : Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
(book two in the Shatter Me trilogy)
The thought of laying a hand on someone brings back a world of memories, feelings, a flush of power I experience only when I make contact with skin not immune to my own. It's a rush of invincibility; a tormented kind of euphoria; a wave of intensity flooding every pore in my body. I don't know what it will do to me. I don't know if I can trust myself to take pleasure in someone else's pain. All I know is that Warner's last words are caught in my chest and I can't cough out the cold or the truth hacking at the back of my throat. Adam has no idea that Warner can touch me. No one does. Warner was supposed to be dead. Warner was supposed to be dead because I was supposed to have shot him but no one supposed I'd need to know how to fire a gun so now I suppose he's come to find me. He's come to fight. For me.
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.
My Thoughts : I HATE HATE HATE love triangles mixed with a whiny girl who can't make up her mind between one or the other. Juliette annoyed so much it was hard to keep going. There was too many pages about how she loves Adam but feels something for Warner. Frustrating!!
Trying to put the love triangle aside, I quite enjoyed the book. I found the story line to be really exciting and gripping. I absolutely loved Kenji in this book. He brought the comic relief that was so desperately needed. I also loved the way he spoke to Juliette. He told her exactly what he thought, yet he also helped her as well. Kenji and Juliette have a really nice friendship, I loved reading their scenes. I also found him to be a really grounded character which was refreshing to read.
I'm not sure what to make of Warner anymore. I hated him in Shatter Me, felt sorry for him in Destroy Me and now he is getting in the way of Adam and Juliette's happily ever after. He is such a complex character. I go through so many different emotions when I'm reading about him. I just don't know what to think about it all.
Lastly, there is Adam. I feel for him. I can understand why he is trying so hard to stay with Juliette. I think he is such a fighter! I am one hundred percent team Adam!
I just have to mention, randomly, how incredibly beautiful these covers are. I love how chilling yet fascinating they are. I see the covers and I have to pick up the book.
Overall I think if you loved the first book then you will really enjoy this one too. I think the book ended in a way that made me really excited for the final book, Ignite Me. I'm really excited to see even more character growth from Juliette. I really think she can do anything.
I gave it four out of five stars
