Unravel Me: Tahereh Mafi: 2 (Shatter Me)

Product Information

Juliette has been hiding within the safety of Omega Point, a bunker/training facility/mutant zone, for the past two weeks. Although at first relieved to learn that other mutants exist, she finds herself sinking into despair. The others have powers to heal, direct electrical currents or become invisible. Only she has skin that, when touched, can kill. The others inside the bunker fear her because she is deadly. Adam can’t focus on the upcoming battle. He is preoccupied by thoughts of his recent break-up with Juliette, concerned for his brother’s safety, and scared for his best friend’s life. But battle waits for no one, and just as Adam begins to doubt if he can fight, it’s time for war. During another emotional scene in a corridor between Adam and Juliette, Castle walks by with Warner (cuffed). Later Castle comes to her and tells her Warner mentioned he can touch her. He believes Warner is also ‘gifted’ and feels he needs to invite him to join them. He guesses that Warner is in love with her. He asks her to use this to continue the interrogation. She reluctantly agrees. She doesn’t tell Castle that Adam and Warner are brothers. Juliette,” he says, and he mouths the name, barely speaking at all, and he’s pouring molten lava into my limbs and I never even knew I could melt straight to death.

After being remonstrated by Castle for not getting information that would help find Winston and Brendan, Juliette hurries to question Warner again. She asks him about his tattoo and he shows her another low on his abdomen that says, HELL IS EMPTY AND ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE. What the novellas do is provide extra insight into the world of Shatter Me. They’re often from a different POV. For instance, Destroy Me, the first novella, is from Warner’s POV. He is the villain of the first novel. Cassady, Emily (Mar–Apr 2012). "Shatter Me (review)". Library Media Connection. 30 (5): 72. Archived from the original on 2014-10-28 . Retrieved 28 October 2014.

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. The mutants at Omega Point use their powers to prevent being slaughtered by Reestablishment soldiers. A woman throws projectiles from a tree with speed and precision. Castle creates a cyclone of sharp debris that he sets loose on the soldiers, impaling them with glass, stone and metal. Juliette again hits the ground with her fist and creates a tremor in the ground that causes the soldiers to lose their footing and become disorientated.Isaac, Megan Lynn (Spring 2012).

Are you kidding?” I stop in the middle of the kitchen. Spin around. My face is pulled together in disbelief. “You’ve spoken to me maybe once in the two weeks I’ve been here. I hardly even notice you anymore.” And even when you're ready to let go. When you're ready to break free. When you're ready to be brand-new. Loneliness is an old friend stand beside you in the mirror, looking you in the eye, challenging you to live your life without it. You can't find the words to fight yourself, to fight the words screaming that you're not enough never enough never ever enough. He’s kissing me like the world is rolling right off a cliff, like he’s trying to hang on and he’s decided to hold on to me, like he’s starving for life and love and he’s never known it could ever feel this good to be close to someone. Like it’s the first time he’s ever felt anything but hunger and he doesn’t know how to pace himself, doesn’t know how to eat in small bites, doesn’t know how to do anything anything anything in moderation.” Adam and Warner face off, Juliette stands between them, and then Kenji is badly hurt when he touches Warner because Warner was channeling Juliette’s energy.What?" He looks mortally offended. "Do I look like the kind of guy who's never had a girlfriend? Have you even met me?” Juliette thought she would be able to kill Warner with a single touch, but his apparent immunity to her powers has shaken her. Thankfully, her and Adam were able to escape from Warner and joined a group of rebels. Here Juliette’s powers don’t make her an outlier when many of the rebels have powers too.
