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.

Great follow up

I really like that we got to see more side of Adam and Warner in this, beyond the black and white of Shatter Me. Juliette is kind of helpless and poor me, but she does improve and start to help others. I liked seeing more of her and other character's powers and more of Kanji also. He's a fun character that helps lighten up Juliette's dark storytelling.

Fantastic story

If I was facing an apocalypse I’d want these people on my side. The authors writing is like prose.

unravel me was so good.

i loved shatter me and i heard about the series from a friend. after getting the first book i was intrigued to see how the story went after hearing if was an eleven part series. unravel me had me kicking my feet when warner was there and had me fearing for the lives of the main characters. it was very good

I LOVE THIS BOOK

It was amazing to see so far in this series how far Juliet has come. From being the quiet weak
psycho to no more gloves let’s go break some arms. Love it.

Amazing!

I love this book so much definitely recommend! Aaron Warner sounds so attractive! Love the book good job writer

Absolutely Amazing!

I am picky about audio books, but the reader of this series is great. It helps that the story is too. Definitely wouldn't understand if you haven't read or listened to the first book. Praises all around!

Juliet finally unravels!

Yes, it takes this whole book for her to finally stop being sad, mopy and blaming herself but it's all worth it because the devil is in the house and he has her heart. Who doesn't like a girl who always falls for the bad guys. But this just means we see the other side of Warner.

I couldn't stop listening, I got it done in less than a day. On to book 3!

It's been a long time since I could brag so much about a narrator. They are so important!! Kate Simses makes this book amazing. I can't imagine how I would feel about this book if anyone read for me. She's perfect. Perfection.

Favorite quote: Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

I love this narrator!

Any additional comments?

I absolute fell in love with the story and the writing in Shatter Me. I devoured Destroy Me and couldn’t wait to get my hands on Unravel Me. Although dystopia is probably my least favorite genre and I tend to avoid the majority of dystopia books, I couldn’t help myself when it comes to this series. Although I really like Adam in the first book, there was always something about Warner that fascinated me. Call me sick and twisted but I wanted to know more about the ruthless guy that he was and how he became that way. In Destroy Me, I got exactly what I was looking for and more. I was nervous going into this book because I was so torn over these two boys. But Tahereh Mafi made it easy for me to pick a team by the end of the book and I am even more excited to read more of this series.

After Juliette and Adam narrowly escape from Warner, they are now staying with Kenji at Omega Point which is a place for gifted people like Juliette. People who are planning a rebellion against The Reestablishment. Naturally, Juliette has a hard time fitting in. When new developments start tearing her and Adam apart, Juliette starts questioning her life. So she does the whole ‘I can’t be with you because I’m too dangerous’ thing. I have to admit, I rolled my eyes so hard at this point I swear I saw my brain. In her case I kind of got it though. Still, it was hard to see them both miserable, especially Adam! Luckily, Kenji was there to try to lighten the mood. Just when it looks like things might be getting better between Juliette and Adam, Warner is back in the picture.

Warner. *Sigh* It takes a talented author to make you swoon over a heartless killer. When I started reading Shatter Me and I kept seeing that there were actually people that are Team Warner, I thought they were crazy. Turns out I am now one of those crazy people, and proud of it. I tried to fight it. I tried to hate Warner for all the things he’s done. I tried to stay on Team Adam. But I just couldn’t fight it anymore! I really believe that Warner and Juliette are so much alike that they would be perfect together. They understand each other on a different level and they know each other’s darkest thoughts. Warner wants and accepts Juliette exactly how she is and she is the only one that sees the real Warner.

Although this felt more of a dystopia than the first book, I still really loved it. With the same hauntingly beautiful style of writing as the first two books, Unravel Me is a very easy story to get sucked into. I was disappointed at Adam’s development in this book though. He was mopey and miserable through most of the book. And with Warner saying just all the right things to Juliette it was easy to fall for him along with her. Plus, she shared some very intense, sexy scenes with Warner that were loaded with chemistry. (Chapter 62 anyone? HOT!) New developments, plot twist and so many good swoon-y scenes, Unravel was a hit for me. I want more! Kenji was almost my favorite part of this book (besides Warner)! He is so funny and is such a scene stealer but he also has a story. A story I very much want to read. I’ve said this before but I really hope the next novella is from Kenji’s POV. Or more Warner. I can always read more Warner! If you have been thinking of reading this series, it definitely deserves a bump up in your TBR pile. You’ll be kicking yourself for not having read this sooner.

Action packed, intense, leaves you wanting more

The second book in the Shatter Me series really drew me in and I cannot wait to download and listen to the third and final book. The first book was so-so for me and I couldn't decide how it might expand the characters but the second book was FANTASTIC and has left me wanting the conclusion. The love triangle is intriguing and Juliette coming into her own and starting to discover who she is both emotionally and physically is a nice turn. I find Warner a more complex and intense character than Adam who I find to be immature. I tend to roll my eyes in many intense love scenes but Mafi has done a nice job of not over doing them making them sexy and romantic without explicit.

Action Packed & Drama Filled!!!

This book was SO much better than the first, in my opinion. So much more growth, action, drama, and backstory. Maybe the first book was just slow and I'm too impatient but this second book sold me on the series. I'm so glad I stuck in there. The writing seemed to get better along with character development and narration. There wasn't a single detail and twist that I hated. I'm going to go ahead and purchase the third book and start in immediately because I HAVE to know what happens next.

The relationship she has with the brothers is so confusing but I think it is supposed to be. I hope this is a key element to the story because it is driving me crazy to figure out the secret behind her obsession with both of them!! Onward we go!!
