Unravel Me

By: Tahereh Mafi

Narrated by: Kate Simses

The thrilling second installment in New York Times bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series.

It should have taken Juliette a single touch to kill Warner. But his mysterious immunity to her deadly power has left her shaken, wondering why her ultimate defense mechanism failed against the person she most needs protection from.

She and Adam were able to escape Warner’s clutches and join up with a group of rebels, many of whom have powers of their own. Juliette will finally be able to actively fight against The Reestablishment and try to fix her broken world. And perhaps these new allies can help her shed light on the secret behind Adam’s—and Warner’s—immunity to her killer skin.

Juliette’s world is packed with high-stakes action and tantalizing romance, perfect for fans of the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard and the Darkest Minds trilogy by Alexandra Bracken.

Ransom Riggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, raved: ""A thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love, the Shatter Me series is a must-read for fans of dystopian young-adult literature—or any literature!""

This bestselling series from powerhouse author Tahereh Mafi showcases relentlessly thrilling action, heart stopping romance, and a war-torn world in which rebellion is the only path to freedom.

Just get to the last book!

What made the experience of listening to Unravel Me the most enjoyable?

I love Juliette's character. And I love how she makes the relationship between the characters so confusing.

What does Kate Simses bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does a good job of making you feel how Juliet thinks about herself with this week little voice but her actions speak otherwise.

Any additional comments?

Juliette is beautiful and poetic. Kenji is by far my favorite sidekick ever. Warner is to die for. Adam gets the short end of the stick.

Unravel me

I like the character development. Her struggle at finding who she is and how she should act. That struggle between what she knows others want from her but what she really wants for herself. Coming to terms with who she is, what she is. I can't wait to start book 3!

Amazing!!

This story is told so good I can describe how good it was! I recommend u reading it 🫶

Must read in order

Read this from Book 1 in order. You won’t want to stop reading or listening until the end.

An excellent read for an excellent book

Tahereh has written an excellent second installment for this series. Kate said and amazing job with the reading as well. I think the thing that I enjoy the most about this book was the level of detail that is put into every small piece of the writing. She really makes the characters come alive and the environment in which they are in almost appears before you in three dimensions.

I LOVEEEEE IT

I don’t understand why people say this book is boring. It might be a little slow in the beginning, but as i kept reading, I couldn’t put it down.

this is an amazing story!!

I loved it!! and the narrator!! an absolutely amazing book!! can't wait to hear the next one!

Aaron m’f Warner

Not a huge fan of the narrators voice so will likely go back to reading the book instead of listening.

When Superheros meet dystopian teen romance

I can recall listening to Shatter Me some months ago and being extremely irritated with Juliette’s weakness. She is so incredibly whiney, and I understand why, but come on already.

All she ever wanted was to be accepted. Now she is. She is surrounded by supernatural beings, yet she continues to whine whine whine. Oh I just learned I have amazing super strength? Let me whine about how this power is useful in killing. Oh there’s a war happening? Let me whine about my lovelife. Geez Louise, she is so complainy.

However, I absolutely adore this series. I just can’t put my finger on it, but it just draws me
in.

The author, Tahereh Mafi, has such a strange writing style. Everything she says is a metaphor; then she will go on to explain that it’s a metaphor. So, so strange. But, I love it. I love how Juliette will be complaining that there are no words to describe what she is feeling, so she will go on to list the types of words there are. Something like, “There are no prepositions, adverbs, or verbs to describe how I’m feeling.”

I think if I were actually reading the story, I would be annoyed, but Kate Simses depicts all of the characters in a loveable way. She is extremely talented – have you heard how she does James’ voice? Genius!

What Made Unravel Me Work:
Kenji. He is the comic relief of the story that actually had me laughing out loud. He is the voice of reason that puts Juliette in her place. He is funny, has a tragic past, but he still carries an air of mystery to him that makes him a pivotal member of the series.

The romance. Even though it drives me loony on occasion, I am still completely invested in Juliette’s tragic love-life. She is split between Adam and Warner – which is so awesome. I know love triangles are getting a bit overdone, but it is some juicy drama. I’m not going to get into details over what exactly transpires, but it’s fantastic.

The mystery. Some may argue that this story is a tad predictable. Maybe it is. But, I don’t care. It is still exciting to me to learn what may next happen to Juliette, and I’m dying to wait forever for the third installment.

I love these books

is it possible to enjoy a second book more than the first? I think so!
