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.

Shatter Me was a surprise favorite for me last year and I was so excited to finally get Unravel Me. The second installment left me with so many different emotions, and I loved every minute of it.

Juliette and Adam are now safe at Omega Point, but Juliette is more confused as ever. She knows Adam is hiding something, and she hopes someone will tell her what is going on. At the same time, she is told that she has to stop being a hermit, and she has to learn to trust the other people in this organization.

Poor Adam. My heart felt for him. He goes through a lot of pain in Unravel Me. We know snapshots about Adam's past and his family from the first book. But his story is brought to a whole new level in Unravel Me.

I've always been a big fan of Adam, but then Warner sweeps in and steals my heart. This man is full of pain and secrets. But if you thought Warner was bad in Shatter Me, then you obviously never met his father. That man is bat shit crazy and has fed Warner years of this psycho craziness.  No wonder Warner is the "bad guy".

A secret is revealed about Warner and Adam and I literally had to put the book down and yell "holy shit!". Actually this whole book contained "holy shit!" moments for me. I am so excited to read the next book, and I have no idea I how I will be able to wait a year to read it.

I also suggest reading Destroy Me, a short novella in Warner's POV. It is set between book 1 and 2 and gives the reader a lot of insight into Warner's character. There are some overlapping scenes from Destroy Me and Unravel Me and I found it interesting to read the same scene in both Warner's and Juliette's POV.

Pick up this series ASAP. You will not be disappointed!
