Shatter Me (Shatter Me, 1)

The gripping first installment in global bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s epic, romantic Shatter Me series.

One touch is all it takes. One touch, and Juliette Ferrars can leave a fully grown man gasping for air. One touch, and she can kill.

No one knows why Juliette has such incredible power. It feels like a curse, a burden that one person alone could never bear. But The Reestablishment sees it as a gift, sees her as an opportunity. An opportunity for a deadly weapon.

Juliette has never fought for herself before. But when she’s reunited with the one person who ever cared about her, she finds a strength she never knew she had.

Includes a special sneak peek of This Woven Kingdom, the first book in Tahereh Mafi’s bestselling fantasy series inspired by Persian folklore!

And don't miss Watch Me, the first book in a new series in the Shatter Me universe set ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment, on sale in April 2025!

Just not very good, itâs low-key entertaining and readable but I wouldnât read it again I have no clue why I continued with this series for so long - it could have definitely all been in half the amount of books it all progressâ so slowly itâs unbelievable and I wonât be reading any past the 4 (stupid) Iâve already read

So many people recommended this book to me. I went into it blind, not looking anything up prior. Overall, I'm left rather confused. I don't feel like there was enough background on Juliette to fully understand and connect with her. We don't figure out the horrible thing she did until the second half of the book, but she's locked up for that incident from page 1. I'm confused about how Warner is obsessed and in love with a girl he doesn't know. As far as the readers know, he came out of the blue and announced his love for her. I didn't necessarily dislike this book, but it is not high on my list to recommend to people.

I understand this is a series, so I want to give the second one a chance in hopes that plot holes will be answered and the details that feel like they are missing will be provided. However, it is not high on my priority list.

This is hands-down one of my favorite reads of 2023! If you love The Hunger Games, Divergent, or the Legend Series, youâll love this book, too. Itâs full of action, romance, and twists.
