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.

Just get to the last book!

What made the experience of listening to Unravel Me the most enjoyable?

I love Juliette's character. And I love how she makes the relationship between the characters so confusing.

What does Kate Simses bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does a good job of making you feel how Juliet thinks about herself with this week little voice but her actions speak otherwise.

Any additional comments?

Juliette is beautiful and poetic. Kenji is by far my favorite sidekick ever. Warner is to die for. Adam gets the short end of the stick.

Unravel me

I like the character development. Her struggle at finding who she is and how she should act. That struggle between what she knows others want from her but what she really wants for herself. Coming to terms with who she is, what she is. I can't wait to start book 3!

An excellent read for an excellent book

Tahereh has written an excellent second installment for this series. Kate said and amazing job with the reading as well. I think the thing that I enjoy the most about this book was the level of detail that is put into every small piece of the writing. She really makes the characters come alive and the environment in which they are in almost appears before you in three dimensions.

this is an amazing story!!

I loved it!! and the narrator!! an absolutely amazing book!! can't wait to hear the next one!

Amazing!!

This story is told so good I can describe how good it was! I recommend u reading it 🫶

Must read in order

Read this from Book 1 in order. You won’t want to stop reading or listening until the end.

I LOVEEEEE IT

I don’t understand why people say this book is boring. It might be a little slow in the beginning, but as i kept reading, I couldn’t put it down.

Mafi makes even torture sound beautiful!

This author is a master of creative imagery. Her writing style gives this text a richness that is extremely rare in contemporary writing. I kept expecting it to get old or tiresome, but instead, I found myself wishing I had the physical book so that I could highlight some of her phrases.

I really enjoy the author's writing style, but could see how someone more literal, might tire of the figurative language used. So, for those of you who might fall into that category...if you want an author to say "I almost cried," instead of talking about the dam in her eyes holding back the waters...you might want to choose a different book. If you like strong imagery and really enjoy writing that feels three-dimensional...do not pass this series up.

Even though there is a lot of descriptive language, the story does not drag or slow at all. Usually the middle book in a trilogy is a bridge that feels more like filler than substance. That is not the case here. If the background information from the first book was not so helpful to character development, this book could stand alone.

The Shatter Me series is written in narrative form (stream of consciousness). Juliette's choices in this book surprise me, but not because I don't understand how she feels. This writing style allows you to understand the actions our heroine takes, even if you don't agree with them. I admit, I hit pause a few times to get over my shock at the things happening. The story moved and evolved well. There was a cliff-hanger at the end of this book and a rushed conclusion. It makes me eager for the third book, but it wrapped up enough that I didn't get frustrated at the break.

I would definitely suggest reading the first book before this one. Also, there is a 1.5 called Destroy Me that you can can get for the Kindle. And just in case you haven't already figured it out, the scratching sounds indicate that the previous statement/sentence was crossed out in the text.

I really enjoyed my time with this book and will probably visit it again a few times before before the final installment is released.

Can it get any better, better, better?

I sooo very much liked the first audiobook, but this second was better. Mafi brought me closer to the characters in the second audiobook, so I was able to feel and understand them more .(If you read the novella "Destroy Me", the insight into Warner becomes much clearer.) There is more action in this audiobook so the pace is picked up. New characters have been brought into the story so there is more diversity and comic relief.*SPOILER ALERT---if you haven't listened to the first audiobook*.....The all-consuming feelings Warner has for Juliette are addressed more and the intense can't-keep-my-hands-off-of-you want and need Adam and Juliette have for one another continues. There is love, action, world danger, hunger for power and domination, the struggle between right and wrong with some twists and surprises thrown in. The end has you sitting up and asking "Where's book 3".

Better than first!

Wasn't crazy about the first book, but decided to continue series, and really glad I did! Story gets better and performance does as well
