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.
Hi it's Amy again and this week I guess it was audiobook week because I listened more than I actually read. I started listening to Unravel Me and got so caught up in the story that I could put it down and had to finish listening. For me, Unravel Me is like that cheesy teen night time drama that is a guilty pleasure and I am totally addicted to it. This book is cheesy, melodramatic, and of course has a love triangle. It is also poetic, beautifully written, and incredibly sexy. I have not read or listened to a book in long time that has made me feel like I was 17 again and on an emotional roller coaster like Unravel Me did.
This book is like the show Revolution meets Xmen because you have a military government that rules the land with a dictator iron fist and the rebel group fighting them with wits, weapons and supernatural abilities. Unravel Me picks up where Shatter Me left off with Juliette and Adam healed and training with the rebels. Juliette loves Adam and has chosen to stay and fight with him. Then of course drama comes in and cause a rift between Juliette and Adam. Then Warner's father comes to town and kidnaps some of the rebels and holds them hostage to meet Juliette. Juliette fights Warner's father and they take Warner back to the rebel compound.
It becomes Juliette job to interrogate Warner the other boy in love with her. The more she questions Warner and gets to know him the more she questions if he is really evil or if there is more to this boy than meets the eye.
Unravel Me is a heartbreaking and gut wrenching tale of what it really means to be yourself and question what would you do to save the ones you love. When I read the first book, Shatter Me, I thought it was just ok but after reading the second book I am hooked on this series and it has become a guilty pleasure because there is just something about having my emotions ran through the ringer. My heart broke for Juliette and then my heart sored for Juliette and then again it was breaking. I would recommend this book for older teens because there were also parts that were incredibly hot and I thought I would need to go splash cold water on my face, hehe.
In conclusion I love the poetic writing style that may not be for everyone because it is like reading a diary. The narration was wonderful Kate Simses really makes the listener feel like you are in Juliette's head and makes the story come to life. In the book there are passages marked out with lines because Juliette dd not like the way sounded so I like the added sound of scratching out in the audiobook. I thought this book was out of this world and therefore I have giving it four laser pistols.

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.
