Goodreads Summary:
tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
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

Reasons I want to read & own this book:
1. The genre. I really am falling in love with young adult dystopian novels. Shatter Me (book 1) in this series was a mix of a post apocalyptic world with a dash of xmenish vibes because some characters have unique powers and are willing to risk it all to get away from the oppressive system/government in the story.
2. The villain. Warner. I just loved how complex he was. Beautiful on the outside, corrupt and tyrannical on the inside yet somewhat vulnerable with a hidden longing. When you hate and love a character, all at the same time, and feel confused as a reader on how to feel, you know you have a winning character in terms of depth.
What do you guys think? :)
UNRAVEL ME! YAY! :D really, really liked Shatter Me! can't wait to see how it continues! :D

Bleh! I really hope there isn't a love triangle because I have to say I am Adam all the way, Warner is a crazy psychopath... BLEH!

This is my choice for next week ;) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Shatter Me & I'm absolutely dying for Unravel Me. I am a little disappointed about the cover change. I love it, but I have to admit, I'm actually a fan of "girls-in-pretty-dresses" covers. Best pick this week! Thanks so much for sharing and for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I love the "girls-in-pretty-dresses" covers too, haha :)
DeleteYou will LOVE Warner in this one!!!! He is amazing!! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteWarner is my favorite part of this series and I'm looking forward to book 2, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! Unravel Me is my most anticipated book. I loved Shatter Me and I can't wait to read what will happen next.

omg I'm so excited for this book.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first book but I really really want to! I'm excited about this one too because if I enjoy Shatter me, this one is going to be already out and I wont have to wait long to read it. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCome check out my WOW post.
I'm waiting on this one too! I'm disappointed in the cover, though. If I hadn't read the first book, I would never pick up Unravel Me based on the way it looks!

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this one as well! Shatter Me ended on a horrible cliff hanger and I can't wait to see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Waiting on Wednesday!
I can't wait to read this either, Jennifer. I loved Shatter Me too. Although, I'm not a huge fan of Warner. Team Adam all the way here. :)
