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.

Okay, It's official: this is the best series I've read in a long, long time. I can not put into words how emotional I felt once I'd turned the very last page. 

Tahereh Mafi has a pure gift for language. Her words flow effortlessly off the page is an almost lyrical way, and I the entire time while reading, I was immersed in Juliette's world, her thoughts, her emotions. Shatter Me was perfection, and I knew I was going to love this from page one.

I usually have real trouble picking a "team" with love triangles. I seem to like both sides for different reasons, it just depends on which one I feel for more. Although, I tend to go for the more in depth complicated character, and in Shatter Me, Adam was that for me. He was the boy Juliette loved from the beginning. The only one who ever thought she wasn't a monster, then seemingly betrayed her, but then he defied everything for her. 
But... I honestly don't see how anyone could not love Warner (or should I call him Aaron?) after this book. In Shatter Me, he was the cruel man who tortured Juliette with her own lethality and shot grown men in the foreheads without blinking. But reading this, we crack through his hard cold exterior to find he is a much more complicated a character underneath. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and let's Juliette see him for who he truly is, a traumatized son and a loving boy, desperate for affection, who is on so many levels, perfect for her.
So to put it simply, I've switched from Team Adam to Team Warner, and I'm never going back.
Ever.

Everything in Unravel Me is intense and incredibly emotional. The romance is even more heart wrenching, action more fast paced - it's on a whole other level to the first book in the series.

If you haven't read Shatter Me yet, I suggest you do so right. now. And if you've read it and contemplating this one... I say, don't think. Just buy. I promise you, it won't disappoint.
