Toski: Have you read the Shatter Me Series Maryse ? It’s phenom. To me it’s somewhere between YA & NA, but there is some serious sexual tension and steamy scenes!! Angst is what really pulls me into books, and this one is now one of my favorite series! You will absolutely *swoon* over him in the 2nd book, “Unravel Me”.

Tiffany: Hi, I know you love a Great book and I just finished reading Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafiand it was Heartbreaking and Awesome and I can not wait for the next book !!!! Its a killer book!! Young adult read but its way more than that!!!!! Just give it a Look!!! You will Love it!!!!!!!!!Īli: have you heard of the “Shatter Me” series by Tahereh Mafi? Warner from this series is now my FAVORITE bad boy (the only one to ever trump Kellan)!! He’s bad in a completely different way than Kellan, with power and a bit of ‘evilness’. I know I don’t read that much YA or paranormal these days, but some of ’em are my absolute all-time forever favorites, so I’m ready for this!! Especially considering how it is taking SO many of our fellow readers by storm! UPDATED 07-1-2022!!! This series started a couple of years ago, but, over the last month or so, I’ve been hearing lots of AWESOME buzz! Probably due to it’s latest book release.įrom the blurb of book #1, it seems to have that older YA/paranormal/dystopian feel, but many in our reading-crew are mentioning #1 book boyfriend, and comparing him to our absolute #1’s (just take a look, below). MARYSE’S SURPRISE FROM HER FAVORITE BOOK BOYFRIEND’S.ALL MY REVIEWS (ALPHABETICAL BY AUTHOR).Kate Simses narration is stellar as it was in Shatter Me, the details I mention about her work with the characters is still very present here. But the dystopian backdrop has a little bit of potential that is frustratingly unrealized, considering that this book is almost 500 pages. It’s a wonderful guilty pleasure on that front. I knew going in that this was a romantic angst-fest with a focus on a growing love triangle. But even the most shameless reverse harem anime or manga for example, with like 8 different love interests all with different personalities and hair colors and back stories, will STILL find time to give the heroine at least one female friend or an epic frienemy or something. It really sticks out and I’m starting to get reverse harem feels when reading this. There is hardly any time allotted to the few new characters, and the few named female characters are especially and pointedly ignored. It takes away from really learning about her powers, learning about the new setting, Omega Point. I felt like her obsession with him takes away from so much. I was largely indifferent to him throughout these first two books, he’s just OK. Far too much time is spent on her fussing, worrying, and having a single-minded fixation on Adam. This SHOULD open the door for more characters and seemingly more to do.īut Juliette is so often trapped inside of her own head, her own neuroses, and so is the reader- deprived of what could be amore meaningful storyline and character growth. She is now mostly free, and open to exploring a broader world, a fresh setting. Without spoiling anything or being too specific, I’ll just say that the ending of Shatter Me seemed to be leading into a ton of potential and possible growth for Juliette’s character. Probably my second favorite character in the series though I do like all of them on some level.

(It doesn’t, and I am so much a sucker for weird characters, so it works.) Warner is full of surprises and has a major role in the whole last half of this book and brings some much needed tension and mayhem to the plot, as he did in Shatter Me. Doubly so here because he’s still this zany combo of evil yet affectionate, if that makes any sense. He’s that guilty pleasure bad-guy character you’re not supposed to like but is just intriguing. That said, there are moments of self-awareness or insightfulness that pop up when she’s facing some of the more harrowing moments.įinally, Warner. I still like her overall but she is a massive drama queen. Juliette’s shortcomings are far more noticeable in this installment. All YA books need a Kenji to be the voice of reason and get their characters heads on straight. He has a lot of snappy banter but most importantly- he calls out the heroine and other characters in a candid and productive manner, making well-reasoned arguments, and basically saying what the reader is likely to be thinking in any situation. So many other YA novels are lacking for not having a Kenji. Probably my favorite sidekick of all YA books ever.
The fun level is the main factor that went into my rating. So, this review is going to be full of criticisms and it probably deserves less than the rating it’s getting but I was totally captivated and consumed this so fast despite its length.
I strived to NOT spoil Shatter Me, so this review should be safe to read if you haven’t read the series yet!
