Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3)
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Publisher: Harper Collins
Publication Date: February 4, 2014
Pages: 409
Format: Hardcover/Own

The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, called “a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love.”

With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.

The Shatter Me series is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Tahereh Mafi has created a captivating and original story that combines the best of dystopian and paranormal, and was praised by Publishers Weekly as “a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.” Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and satisfying end.

In this electrifying sixty-page companion novella to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, discover the fate of the Omega Point rebels as they go up against The Reestablishment. Set during and soon after the final moments of Unravel Me, Fracture Me is told from Adam's perspective.

As Omega Point prepares to launch an all-out assault on The Reestablishment soldiers stationed in Sector 45, Adam's focus couldn't be further from the upcoming battle. He's reeling from his breakup with Juliette, scared for his best friend's life, and as concerned as ever for his brother James's safety. And just as Adam begins to wonder if this life is really for him, the alarms sound. It's time for war.

On the battlefield, it seems like the odds are in their favor—but taking down Warner, Adam's newly discovered half brother, won't be that easy. The Reestablishment can't tolerate a rebellion, and they'll do anything to crush the resistance . . . including killing everyone Adam has ever cared about.

Fracture Me sets the stage for Ignite Me, the explosive finale in Tahereh Mafi's epic dystopian series.

Review: Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2)

Publisher: Harper Collins
Publication Date: February 5, 2013

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.

Review: This book is beyond amazing! If you enjoyed Shatter Me you MUST pick this book up! So much happened!!! So many mind blowing things were revealed!!! Its gonna be so hard to write this review without revealing the massive spoilers!!!! But I'll try (and still try to do the book justice)!So maybe I'll start with something not spoilery at all? Kenji!!!! This guy is pretty awesome! Totally crushing on him after reading this!!! He was actually really cool in this book. Ok, first of all, how cool is his gift to be invisible??? I just love that so much! And it definitely comes in handy in this book! Second, Kenji was seriously being an awesome friend in this book! He was there for Juliette in times when she felt all alone, especially dealing with this thing with Adam. He knew when to be serious with her and just listen, but he also knew when to crack a joke to try and cheer her up as well. I was very happy that we got to see a lot of Kenji in this book! Especially since we got to see him being his true self.

Adam... Hmm... I still love Adam and I shall let everyone know. Unlike a bunch of people who flipped teams in this book I am still firmly on TEAM ADAM!!!! I definitely felt for him throughout the book. He really struggled. He felt like he didn't belong at Omega Point because it really didn't look like he had a gift. So this isn't as spoilery I'll let it out. Adam does have a gift. He just didn't realize it! His gift is kinda hard to explain though so I'll let you guys find out about it in the book. :P But his gift does pertain to why he can touch Juliette. His gift is also part of the reason why they have some problems in this book. :( I was also shocked at the revelation that was made about Adam and his father and his family. I am in no way letting this one out of the bag but it is SHOCKING!!! I promise! Adam... Man... He has a hard to dealing with this. And I don't blame him. But like I said, I still love him anyways. TEAM ADAM!!! :D

Juliette. Girl, you need to get a hold of your gift! She really struggled getting a grip on her gift and being able to control it but hey, there is one instance in this book where I didn't want her to control it. But for good reason. I felt kinda bad for Juliette when it came to Adam because not only was he dealing with stuff but so was she, and it was hard for both of them to deal. Especially since one of those issues dealt directly with their relationship. :( I also felt bad for her since Warner ended up at Omega Point for a bit as a hostage (you hear that right), and also managed to turn her life upside down while he was there. UGH! I STILL DON'T LIKE WARNER!!! NOT A FAN! Sorry people. Still not jumping teams. I was so disappointed to find out about him having a gift (yeah, he has one too), still not that big of a shocker. I was even more disappointed though at what happened between Warner and Juliette. I don't like him! He may be a lot more nicer in this book and I may not dislike him 100% but I still don't want him with Juliette. Though this particular scene will make all you Warner fans ecstatic! And the ending... THE ENDING!!!! I have very mixed feelings on this so I will just not share my thoughts on it. But I promise, it is a fantastic way to end the book!

5 Stars!

Cover Reveal x3

Ok, so I was away on a trip since Tuesday night, so I missed posting these when they were revealed during the week. But since I'm excited for all three I thought I'd post them anyways even if it's a few days late. Lol.

No blurb yet but it's expected publication is January 22, 2013! I'm really excited for this! I loved Unearthly and Hallowed and I'm just so excited to know what happens next. So much changed in Hallowed and I really cant wait to see where the story goes! I love this cover too! I love the color and it will definitely go well with Unearthly and Hallowed on my shelf!

Blurb from Goodreads:

Perfect for the fans of Shatter Me who are desperately awaiting the release of Unravel Me, this novella-length digital original will bridge the gap between these two novels from the perspective of the villain we all love to hate, Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .

Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.

Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

I'm so freakin excited for Destroy Me! I can't wait to read this novella from Warner perspective!!! I'm still not sure how I feel about this cover though. I mean I like this one but I'm not in love with it. Destroy Me's expected publication is October 2, 2012!

No blurb yet but Unravel Me's expected publication is February 5, 2013! I can't even begin to describe how excited I am for Unravel Me! I've been dying for this to come out since before Shatter Me even officially came out! Lol. I need this book! And even though I'm not the biggest fan of these new covers for the books, I absolutely love this one! I just love the colors and how the eyelashes look. But definitely the colors, especially the pinkish clouds surrounded by pretty much blue and white! I can't get over how pretty this cover is!

What are your thoughts on all 3 covers? Let me know in the comments!
