Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Shatter Me #1
Release Date: November 15, 2011
Genre: YA Dystopian
Rating: 5 Bookworms!
Synopsis
"You can't touch me," I whisper.
I'm lying, is what I don't tell him.
He can touch me, is what I'll never tell him.
But things happen when people touch me.
Strange things.
Bad things.
No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon.
But Juliette has plans of her own.
After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time—and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.
***TEASER***
"No."
"Of course you are. You're just like me."
"I hate you more than you will ever understand."
"We're going to make an excellent team. "
"We are nothing. You are nothing to me--"
"I know what you want." He leans in, drops his voice. "I know what your little heart has always longed for. I can give you the acceptance you seek. I can be your friend."
I freeze. Falter. Fail to speak.
"I know everything about you, love." He grins. "I've wanted you for a very long time. I've waited forever for you to be ready. I'm going to let you go so easily."
I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that you love Shatter Me, Brandee! Isn't the prose made of awesome? And the whole world is so bleak and hopeless, but still worth fighting for :)
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I just got Ignite Me delivered to my kindle *sighs* but right now I'm reading something else. I am almost caught up on ARCs, so I'm reading a bought book right now - that actually doesn't happen all that often anymore o.O
Have a terrific Tuesday. *BIG HUGS*
