Imagine Me (Shatter Me: Series One, 6)

I don’t even know how this series just keeps getting better!

In the beginning, a mother Evie designed two daughters for something called Operation Synthesis. Emmaline was meant to be the architect of the world, and Ella was to be the executioner. But Emmaline is dying. They need another powerful weapon with which to control the people. A contingency. A backup plan. “A spare. That’s all I ever was…A spare part kept in captivity. A backup weapon in the case that all else failed. Shatter me. Break glass in case of emergency.” “‘I'm not gone,’ I say, my hands shaking as I pull myself together. ‘I am Juliette Ferrars, supreme soldier to our North American commander. Who are you?’ He moves closer. His eyes darken as he stares at me, but there's no true darkness there… ‘Love,’ he whispers…Realization arrives in gentle waves, theories lapping and overlapping at the shores of my consciousness until I'm drenched in confusion. Awareness. Terror. ‘You know my name,’ he says softly. ‘You've always known me, love. I've always known you. And I'm so…desperately in love with you.’” “She took back her name. Reclaimed it. She said that by erasing Juliette from her life she feared she was giving the ghost of my father too much power over her. She realized she didn't want to forget her years as Juliette-or to diminish the young woman she was, fighting against all odds to survive. Juliette Ferrars is who she was when she was made known to the world, and she wants it to remain that way…Juliette Ferrars, one of the most feared, most lauded heroes of our known world, is crying over a dog. Perhaps no one else would understand, but I know that this is the first time she's ever held one. Without hesitation, without fear, without danger of causing an innocent creature any harm. For her, this is true joy. To the world, she is formidable. To me? She is the world.”
