SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't read the first book in the series, Shatter Me, Stop! I don't want to ruin a fantastic book for you. You might also want to read the novella,
Destroy Me first.
It has been
two weeks since Juliette shot Warner and escaped with Adam and Kenji to Omega
Point. Training to help fight The Reestablishment, Juliette is failing
miserably at trying to figure out the extent of her powers. Everyone seems to
be leery of the girl with the lethal touch. In turn, she has closed herself off
form personal relationships over fears of being rejected. Kenji is the only one
who has volunteered to help her train and build new friendships. She and Adam
are not pleased that Kenji has been forced by Castle to spend what little time
they have together with them. Complicating matters further is the fact that
Castle has discovered that Adam had powers of his own. Adam is keeping what
they are a secret from Juliette.
When Juliette
pushes Kenji to fill her in on just what is going on with Adam, he reluctantly
takes her to the training rooms. There she sees the physical pain Adam is in at
the hands of Castle. Angry, Juliette loses control and slams her fist into the
cavern floor, causing a very minor earthquake-like tremor. She passes out from
the effort for three days. Castle is furious that Juliette lost control and
almost destroyed his life’s work. Kenji tells her that she and Adam need to
clear the air. She meets with Adam and Castle is with him. Castle speaks first
while Adam avoids eye contact. Adam has the power to negate other powers. That is
why he has the ability to touch her. The more time that they spend together,
the weaker Adam becomes. Juliette is ready to let him go and love him from afar
than run the risk of killing him. Adam refuses to let her go and the moment
they are alone becomes heated. He ends up being rushed to the medical wing
after falling deathly ill from the effect of refuting Juliette’s power.
Knowing that
the only way to save Adam’s life is to stay away, both Adam and Juliette are
distraught over her decision. Tracking The Reestablishment, Castle and the
others know that something is up when the patrols are increasing and Warner is
seen with his troops. Unable to figure out why, Juliette is trusted to be a
part of a mission to find out what is going on. While above ground, she sees
Warner. Unable to stop herself, she follows him when he takes a stray dog out
of sight of his troops. Hoping to see him be cruel to the animal to get over
any lingering feelings for him, Juliette is stunned to see Warner being kind to
the dog. Kenji is furious with her when he discovers her and they go on to
complete their mission.
Castle finds
out that Warner’s father, the Supreme Commander, is in the area. He knows that
the brewing war is about to come to a head. Four of their members are captured
while out on patrol. Castle receives word that they will be returned if
Juliette hands herself over. She readily agrees despite Adam’s objections. Adam
and Kenji go with her as back up.
What happens
when Juliette meets the Supreme Commander? Does the war begin? Is Juliette
captured by The Reestablishment? What part will Warner play in all of this? Can
Juliette sort out her feelings for both Adam and Warner? And what secrets are
about to be uncovered?
The Shatter
Me trilogy will conclude in 2014.
Destroy Me (book 1.5) is a novella from Warner’s
point of view about the events that occur after Juliette shot him. Readers are
given insight into just what makes Warner tick. A definite read to full
understand the events that occur in Unravel
Me.
