Fracture Me (Shatter Me Book 2)

All the books in the Shatter Me series are wonderful. I've found myself 'chomping at the bit' for the next one. As with all great stories, I'm saddened that there is only one more book coming out. I'll be alright thou, I'll just reread them :)

Anything by Tahera Mafi deserves 5 stars. Love Adam and was happy to see even the smallest glimpse into his perspective. The only downside is that his pov didn't take place in a steamier section of the story ;)

Yay! Now we finally get to read from adam's point of view!! I love adam's thoughts on things, he is such a down to earth and awesome guy!! Juliette totally deserves him!! And how he'll do anything to keep his brother safe!! Love love love!! ADDIE FTW!!

Honestly, I've heard tons of people bashing this book. Don't listen to them. This book, is all about Adam. This is his character. It's a look into his mind. It's perfect. It follows the story so perfectly it leaves you being for the next installment.

my heart truly bleeds for Adam but I dont think i could ever change teams again...Warner is everything! i just wish Adam didnt have to suffer this much, i love him too so it hurts to see him in pain :(

I absolutely loved this series. It was a mix of post-apocalyptic, dystopian, super human, romance and many others.

Juliette Ferrars has a curse, or a gift, depending on which way you look at it. Her touch can render another person immobile and kill them. She has been in a psychiatric ward for just under a year, after being rejected for years by her family, her classmates, her community, and has spent the majority of her adolescence locked up in one form or another. Always ridiculed and talked about, treated like the walking plague, she never wanted anything but the things others take for granted - the ability to hold someone’s hand, the loving hugs from a caring parent, someone who would be her friend. But up until this story starts, she has experienced none of this.

Living in a world that has been torn apart by war and the detrimental state of our planet, the Reestablishment has vowed to take care of everyone’s worries, turn the planet back to a place of beauty, and be the people’s salvation. The only problem is with all their promises being nothing but pretty lies, they have enslaved the entire population across the globe, where the only ones benefitting from their dictatorship are the highest leaders of the organization. They live among riches and eat extravagantly, while everyone else slaves to acquire food for their families, on the verge of starvation, if not already lost to it. Everyone has experienced loss at the hands of this new order, yet it has grown in size so fast that nobody can stand against them.

Juliette is broken out of the insane insylum, only to become a prisoner of the Reestablishment and told she will become their weapon.

I do not wish to give away individual books details but this story was amazing from book one to the last one, and all the smaller novellas in between. I lost sleep at night because I didn’t want to quit reading- I had to know what would happen next! Definitely put the next book on my wishlist- can’t wait to hear what’s next!

This author is super amazing and incredibly gifted!!

I remember the first time I heard about Shatter Me. It sounded interesting enough and the cover looked pretty good so I got it on the iBookstore. I had it on my library for months. I don't remember why I decided to pick it up the day I did, but I do remember thinking WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I PICK THIS UP SOONER?!?!?!? after reading about ten pages. I was that hooked. So much so that I bought a hardcover copy of the book (with the old cover) AND I bought the paperback version with the new cover. Ever since then I've been in love with Tahereh Mafi's writing style. Juliette captivated me from those first few pages and she hasn't set me go. Not one bit. When I found out Warner was getting his own novella, I freaked! I'm not sure if it was a good freaking out or a bad freaking out. But one thing was clear: I was picking that sucker up. And I did. And after reading Destroy Me I was conflicted like no other. I still loved Adam, but after being inside Warner's head, I had started to sympathize with him. Then I read Unravel Me and I was never the same.

A couple of months ago Mafi announced she was releasing yet another novella, this time in Adam's POV. I WAS SO PSYCHED!!!! I'd fallen in love with Adam from the beginning, and while I'd grown to like Warner, I was still Team Adam. All the way. So when Adam's novella was released today, I immediately bought it.

Fracture Me starts off right before they set out to fight. Reliving those scenes through Adam's eyes was... interesting. I'm so used to Juliette's constant mumblings and scattered thoughts that reading Adam's more grounded thoughts was a bit disorienting. Still, nothing to write home about. The more I read, the more I was let down. I absolutely freaking hate feeling like this, but I'm so disappointed in Adam. His constant need for her to be back at Omega Point and away for the fight was so annoying! Makes me believe he sees her as weak. *SPOILER* And to think, if he'd gotten his way, Juliette probably would have ended up dead. Things between Juliette and Adam were shaky in Unravel Me, but I always believed he loved her. And after reading this novella, I'm starting to think that while he may have loved her at first, now he just loves the idea of her. I hope to God I'm wrong.

I completely understand Adam's dedication to James. I LOVE James. I think he's an amazing little kid. And I totally understood Adam's need to keep him safe at all cost. James is the only family he has left--he's basically raised him. It's been to two of them against the world for so long and I admire that. I love that. I love them. So I agree with Adam when he went off after James instead of Juliette. But I got the overwhelming sense that Adam was just done with it all. I understand being sick of all the fighting and running and fearing for your life. I get why Adam wants to just get away from it all--but that's not happening any time soon. He knows that. We all know that. And what I couldn't understand was this: the girl he claims to love so much has been captured and taken who knows where, and even once he's reunited with James, Adam is still hesitant to rescue Juliette. Ugh, I just wanted to reach inside the pages and slap some sense into him. Thank God for Kenji. I felt like it was Kenji who was in love with Juliette, not Adam.
Overall, I sort of wished I'd never gotten inside Adam's head. Maybe I built him into this amazing guy--and he is--but his reluctance just killed me. Yes, Juliette broke his heart, but after all they've been through together? I expected more. And now I'm just that much more conflicted in my feelings about Warner. Because even though Warner's kind of a sociopath, he truly loves Juliette. I believe that. His way of showing it may be completely out of the norm, but I feel it in my gut that he would do anything for her.

I'm both dreading and anticipating Ignite Me. This is when it all goes down, and at this point I have no idea what's going to happen. Juliette loves Adam. But she also loves Warner. The one thing I do know is this: the conclusion to Shatter Me is going to explosive and unforgettable. *sigh* Now I just have to find a way to occupy myself until February 4th.

This novella starts out toward the end of Unravel Me after Warner acted like a conduit of Juliette's power and almost killed Kenji, ending when it's announced that the battle is over and Juliette is dead. Told from Adam's point of view, I was hoping for more of his thoughts on so many more situations. But that's not really what we got. We go thru the prepping for war, to the battle (which kind of seemed WAY short to me, but I suppose they were out manned and out gunned), to chasing the kidnapped Juliette only to get sidetracked because they meet up with a group who overheard that Omega Point is going to be bombed. So we go there to save the ones left behind, but fail at that, and the group ends up back at Adam's apartment. Just like with Warner's book, this one kind of made me see Adam in a new light as well. I understand that James is his brother and practically his world, but with how much he claimed to love Juliette and want to be with her no matter what, I couldn't believe how quickly he abandoned her to his own assumptions that she would be okay. To me, that reflected he didn't love her nearly as much as he projects. He wouldn't even let Kenji go for her. Hell, Kenji was more worried about Juliette than Adam was and he was still afraid of her! Adam let me down in his novella especially when he started thinking that working hard for their love wasn't worth the fighting (like fighting fighting, not between the two of them but between the establishment and the others) or leaving James behind or having to stay on the run. I had been rooting for him since the beginning but now it makes it harder. Though I still don't know if I can root for Warner at all. Castle surprised me with his reaction to all that happened. I guess I kind of just thought he was a stronger leader than that. I do love Kenji though. I think he'll always be my favorite character in this series. I don't really understand why he blames himself at the end though. I know it's brutal of me, but it wasn't his fault at all. It was Adam's. And I'm glad Adam knows it.

Tahereh Mafi's first novella, DESTROY ME, wowed me beyond belief. Getting into Warner's mind was absolutely stupendous and that novella is singlehandedly responsible for making me love him. Naturally, I was nothing short of excited for Mafi's second novella. However, I'm sad to say that despite the fact that the novella was satisfactory, it did not wow me at all.

This was pretty much a re-telling of one of the last scenes in book two, UNRAVEL ME, told in Adam's perspective. Naturally, if you read book two, you know what happens so this does provide a very interesting comparison to what some characters believe happens and what actually happened. This certainly explains the mindset of most of the Omega Point members that we are going to encounter at the beginning of book three, which does just enough to saturate my hunger while I wait for book three.

However, with all that in mind, I have to say that I did not enjoy being in Adam's mind at all. While Warner's mind is very twisted because of his desperation to please his father and his intense fascination with Juliette, Adam's mind is very condescending. Sure, he admits he loves Juliette countless times, but I just don't feel it. I did not connect with his emotions or his feelings the way that I have Mafi's others characters. It makes me question where the connection I made with Adam in book one went. Now, it seems he's only condescending towards Juliette, the girl he loves. He treats his ten year old brother like more of an adult and literally compares Juliette to a child at one point.

In the end, this novella served to frustrate me more than anything else. While it makes me curious for book three, it made me lose faith in a character that I initially didn't mind. Again, it made me curious for aspects of book three, so I suppose it served its purpose. But, if anything, it solidified my placement on Team Warner.

I usually skip on writing reviews for short stories because I tend to think of them as nothing more than filler to tide us readers over till the next installment. But I’m making an exception. Because this short story pissed me off.

Fracture Me is told from the POV of Adam and tells his part of the story that we don’t see at the end of Unravel Me. Adam is still upset about losing Juliette, he’s concerned about what happened to Kenji and he’s worried about leaving his little brother James. All understandable things to be concerned about.

My issue with this short story is it presented Adam in a completely different light than what we’ve come to expect. Adam was crazy with feelings for Juliette. Remember?

“It’s been me and you against the world forever,” he says.”It’s always been that way. It’s my fault I took so long to do something about it.”

There’s even the tagline on the cover! “I WILL NOT LOSE HER.” But in Fracture Me, he’s completely changed his tune. And he’s become a bit of a jerk. The scene where Adam, Juliette and Kenji are on the battlefield is when his supposed true colors towards Juliette show.

‘The smart thing to do would be to hide her somewhere. Keep her safe. Out of danger. A weak link can bring everything down with it, and I don’t think this is the time to be taking chances.’

‘Kenji and Castle are always blowing smoke up her a** when they shouldn’t, and honestly? It’s dangerous. It’s not good to make her think she can do this kind of thing when really, it’ll probably get her killed.’

And this is where I get pissed because this is not how his character has been written in the previous two novels and is not what I think anyone would have expected from him at this point. Sure, I get it, this is the first we’re truly seeing things from his POV so there’s always the possibility that we read him wrong. But that’s not it. The issue here is, it all feels like one giant cop-out to solidify the ongoing issue the love triangle caused because clearly she’s gotta pick one. So let’s solve that by turning one of the guys into a total prick who thinks so highly of Juliette. Problem solved. We now have a clear winner.

Reviewer: Me

Fracture Me was a different type of read for me than the previous novels in the series. While Shatter Me and Unravel Me made me swoon like a mad woman with its eloquent prose and earth shattering love story, Fracture Me left me feeling well … indifferent. There’s no denying how much I adored Adam in the previous novels. He seemed perfect, protective, as if he’s the kind of guy that would sweep you off your feet and take you off into the sunset on his magical white horse. However, his feelings and views of Juliette left me utterly disappointed, a little sad and definitely heartbroken.

I truly believe Warner is the better man for her. His love is raw, unconditional, and never falters despite everything they’ve been through and Juliette’s rejections. Throughout this entire novella, Adam’s love for Juliette seems so fragile. I pictured him more as a strong character who would profess his undying love and constant comfort. That he’d be her shield and cuddle her in his arms. More than anything, I wanted to root for their love and have a hard decision as to which team (Warner or Adam) I was going to cheer for in Ignite Me. But, it didn’t happen.

Adam’s love for his brother as we see in the story is deep. Their relationship at times is tense because he has to be both father and brother, protector and his savior. If it came down to it, he’d chose James over Juliette in a heartbeat. I do love this about him and I can’t fault him for making that kind of choice. But I think it shows that she will never come first.

I love Juliette. I really do. I want to help her and support her and be there for her. I want us to have a future together. But sometimes I wonder if it’s ever going to happen.
This isn’t easy to admit, but part of me doesn’t want to put James at risk again – on the run again – for a girl who broke up with me. A girl who walked away from us.
I don’t know what the right thing is anymore.
I don’t know if my allegiance is to James or Juliette. (Adam – Chapter 15, 78% on Kindle)

The above quote pretty much sums up the reason why I’m Team Warner. Adam has a choice to make. And his choice is pretty much always going to be in the best interest of his brother. Which, since he and Juliette are not married, I think it should be. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s honorable. It is the right thing to do. However, I also think Juliette deserves someone who can put her first. And Warner can do that, he would do it in a millisecond. Ugh…Adam…I love you but, you’re not right for her. Juliette needs someone who can let her fly, not keep her hidden because he thinks she’s incapable or weak. I never would have envisioned him thinking this about her, but he does. So I have to wonder, if Mafi setting us up for a Warner/Juliette relationship in the final novel. A power couple who will save the world? (and yes I totally ship this!!!)

Overall, Fracture Me is a good look into the soul of Adam. It’s definitely a must read for fans of the series and really makes you long for the final novel. However, if you’re looking to get all the “feels” that you’re used to with these books, then you might be a little disappointed. Heck, you might not even like our hero anymore. *sigh* TEAM WARNER!

My full review can be found on my blog, Reader Rayna, as well as Goodreads.

3.75/5 stars

Though I find Adam to be a pain in the butt, I'm actually really glad to have read this story from his perspective. To be able to see such brotherly love and affection overtake any other emotion is incredible, especially given the circumstances.

I kind of already had a feel for who he was as a character, but just knowing how much he cares for his brother and how he would put him before anyone else kind of makes him a little less of a jerk and a little more over protective older brother.

The plot followed the story during Unravel Me when everything kind of went to hell, which was an interesting place to see his perspective. I think he thought he was too needed, when in reality Juliette was fine without him. I found this novella to be a good edition to the trilogy.

And as always, the writing is lovely and descriptive without giving too much away.

Fracture Me is told from Adam's point of view. I don't like Adam. From the moment when I finished Shatter Me, I didn't like him. I don't ship Adam with Juliette, nor I ever will. Upon finishing this novella, I think it has made me like Adam even less. Yet I don't think this has to much with the character and his actions. Where oh where was his depth? Reading from Adam's point of view, he's being depicted as a flat, superficial character with no clear character traits. To do talk about Adam's character in general, that guy curses a lot. I know guys who do too, but Adam exceeds them all. Also, he seems to describe things and acts like he's on his period. When he's being mean to his brother for no reason, a few chapters later you find him hugging James and telling him he loves him. I do like the bond between James and Adam. Despite his period, the bromance is very sweet at some times. It left me saying ooooh and aaaah at the right times.

In most of the novellas I've read, there's barely any action. They exist for character development, background information, world building, etc. Fracture Me, however, contained that what I really appreciate: some action. I'm speechless and I don't know what to do with myself. How am I supposed to wait for Ignite Me after reading what just happened? About that: I wonder how Tahereh Mafi is going to fix that thing with Juliette in Ignite Me. Not everyone reads the inbetween novellas. There is a sneak peek after Fracture Me, but I know that if I start reading I have to keep on going. I hope you realise how hard this is for me.

Fracture Me is the end of Unravel Me from Adam's POV. I love this series, but I've never been an Adam fan. He's been boring so far, but I was curious to find out what was going on inside that head of his. Now I know, and it was horrible! Not the novella, just his thoughts.

No wonder Adam doesn't talk much: everything single thought of his is negative! If Juliette ever heard any of it, she'd probably slap him, and of course, kill him with that simple touch. And I wouldn't blame her at all. He's constantly putting her down, and even though most of what he's thinking is true, way to be sensitive! This is supposedly the girl he loves, and yet he compares her to his ten year old brother, and essentially calls her an idiot just because she asks a question. He has no faith in her whatsoever! He called her a "handicap." Just wait until he slips and she back hands him...

While I hate Adam, I did enjoy Fracture Me because it finally have him some personality! It's a horrible personality, but at least I now know he has one! I've never been happier to be on Team Warner! I did really like that he put his brother's safety before Juliette's, since often times romance makes people act irrationally. But then again, Adam thinks Juliette is useless anyway...

I knew I loved Adam from the very beginning. This little novella proves to me why I love him so much. In the midst of all that is happening he is face with the reality that he may loose his brother.

I do not fault Adam for any of his feelings. He has been through the ringer. When he finally questions his loyalty to Juliette, I have to admit I am a little relieved. Juliette is kind of playing with his emotions, and I don't like it when girls do that. Like ever. In books or in life.

I do love that Juliette has realized how much she cares for Kenji. I love his snarky personality. He is also one of my favorites.

I am hoping. Like really hoping (I know it's not going to happen, but I am hoping) that Juliette ends up with Kenji. I like him far better than both Warner and Adam. Maybe because he is so snarky. I like snarky :).

This was an exciting novella. I have said this before novellas are not my favorite, but I really did enjoy reading both of them for this series. It's nice to get behind the other characters.

This review is for book 2.5, Fracture Me. This was a short novella that gives the reader a small glimpse into the mind of Adam. I have to say that I had an entirely different image of who I thought Adam was or could be, I didn't like this Adam. The book is told from the perspective of Adam and picks up after Kenji's 'accident.'

I didn't like the shift in character that Adam undertook, even though the book is supposed to present an introspective look at what Adam is thinking, I felt it strayed from his character in the previous books. A lot of his comments felt angry, moody, uncooperative, someone that I could not relate to in this book. Adam's characterizations of Juliette and her behavior, although he professes that he loves her and want to be with her it seems that he is constantly underestimating her or discounting her emotions, fell short of what I had come to expect of him.

I actually preferred Warner's novella better, it helped me to gain a better understanding of what he had experience which affected how he made his decisions. In this novella I feel like I actually know less about what makes Adam tick than I did before. Maybe it will all come together in Ignite Me.

Pros
+ short
+ told from Adams POV

Cons
- short
- strange numbering system (book 2.5)
- character development fell short

Fracture Me picks up right where Unravel Me left off as Omega Point launches an attack against Sector 45 and the Reestablishment. The tale is told from Adam’s perspective. He shares his thoughts regarding his relationship with Juliette and his concerns for his brother James. As they enter into battle we are privy to his innermost thoughts, what he observes and how he reacts. While only sixty-two pages in length Mafi does an excellent job of giving Adam voice and advancing the plot.
If Mafi’s intentions were to draw a line in the sand regarding the love triangle involving Warner and Adam, then she was successful. Being inside Adam’s head led to startling revelations regarding his character. To be frank, she took the swoon right out of him; at least for this reader. View Spoiler » This isn’t to say Warner is perfect, but he pushes Juliette to be her best.
The overall storyline for the series progressed in Fracture Me and I am anxious to see how everything falls into place. It will be interesting to see how folks react to Ignite Me. I am particularly curious about reactions from those who have read Destroy Me from Warner’s perspective and Fracture Me from Adam’s against those who have only read the full-length novels.

This novella starts right before the end battle in Unravel me. So, there is a bunch of overlapping in dialogue, and that is probably one of the reason I didn't like this novella as much as I like the first one with Warner's. You don't learn as much about the character as you did in Warner's novella. Adam's POV is more harsher than Warner's as well.

But, this novella lets you find out what is happening to Adam and Kenji when Juliette breaks way from them during the battle at the end of Unravel so you get to see a different point of view.

There is a lot in this novella that I just didn't like. The middle of the novella where something big happens, where all seems to be lost and then no, no it isn't...seems too good to be true. **********SPOILER**************Then at one point after the war, all they are thinking about is Juliette. We must save Juliette! What about finding survivors on the battlefield that might have been hiding? Or survivors from the bombing, why do they only think of Juliette? Is she really worth it? She wouldn't think of them and seriously she can fend for herself. But I don't really like Juliette...

I love this series and was really excited to get a piece of it with this short story while waiting for Ignite Me to be released. But, I kind of felt as though the whole story was just pointless. Most of it was just what we already knew happened, just told in Adam's perspective instead of Juliette's. The rest was okay, but still not great.

I don't feel like this novella added anything to the story. The only thing it gave more insight into was Adam's relationship with his brother, James. He cares about him a lot. But, other than that (which was already pretty obvious), there's just nothing -- no point of reading this story.

I don't feel that it was worth the $2.99 I paid for it and I wish I could get my money back (sorry to my husband who is probably going to be mad when he reads this -- he didn't want me to buy this, thinks it's too expensive for a short story). I would not recommend this story, even for huge fans of the series. It's just not worth it, in my opinion. The writing is still good and Mafi did a good job with giving Adam his own voice, but it was a big disappointment overall.

I just absolutely freakin love these books!
Now digging into the last book....
Nooooooo!!!!

It was very helpful and interesting to read Juliette's pov, Warner's pov and Adam's pov.
Sometimes I think these in-between Novella's are such an essential part of the main books, since it gives you a glimpse into the mystery of a character's mind.
You automatically then understand your characters better and why they act they way they do.
Sometimes actions speaks louder than words and in these books it is so true.

Oh Adam.. You had so much potential in becoming a book boyfriend, but you became a jerk instead! Some girls will swoon over his unrelenting dedication to keep his brother James safe, but hello! He refused to go after Juliette! The things he said to her were so insulting!

Nope, Team Adam fans! I will never understand you guys! You say this novella was supposed to prove that Adam is a genuinely nice guy who just wanted to protect his brother, but no! I’m not buying it! I will hate him forever!

5 stars for Kenji and all of his awesomeness!

Team Warner forever!

This novella set between the 2nd and 3rd books puts some things into perspective if you read this after the the 3rd book far as Adam'character and personal reactions to events goes. Aside from three references to pissed pants it was okay read. I would like to see novellas about Castle and Kenji since details of their lives are touched on in the series.

I love this series, and love these "alternate perspective" books. I came out of this book, well, disappointed in a character that I had previously liked. Adam showed a front to Juliette, and I bought into it. But when you read someone's private thoughts it all can change. I did think this novella was really short. It seemed a lot shorter than Destroy Me, about Warner. I did not find Adam as fascinating. I found him to be judgmental, old fashioned, and a chauvinist. This book definitely put him in perspective for Ignite Me.

I hate this novella. Like I really, seriously hate it. To quote my friend, "It's like Mafi completely rewrote Adam's personality! It's like I suddenly don't know him!" Truer words were never spoken.

The thing is, I love this series for being successful at something only a few series with love triangles were able to accomplish: making me more in love with one of the guys, but torn as to who I want the female protagonist to end up with. Before Fracture Me, I was so in love with Warner (of course I'm team Warner), yet I can't bear the thought of Adam being alone and heartbroken. But this novella totally ruined that image.

First, Adam is a completely different person here. He thinks Juliette is weak. That she's a liability. Granted, she doesn't have any background whatsoever with war but I never thought Adam would ever thought of her as a liability. Not when he's always believed in her and her strength. Or so I believed.

Second, is the fact that there's a BUT. "I love Juliette, BUT." Where's the Adam who spent hours and hours practicing his powers? Who spent hours and hours looking for a way to be with Juliette? Totally different person, this Adam is.

Lastly, and the most alarming of all, is the fact that he seems he doesn't care about her. It's like Kenji is Adam in this story. I mean, Kenji's more concerned than he was with Juliette's disappearance than Adam ever was. I understand he's rattled after what he thought happened to James but that doesn't justify the fact that he seems to not care about at all.

Case of point:

"But I know I have a responsibility to Juliette. What would she do if I weren't there to help her? She needs me."

So, not only is Juliette a damsel in distress in her eyes, she's also a responsibility. A liability. Good job, Adam.

So all of that being said, I'm just not really okay with how this novella turned out. I was ready to cry and be heartbroken for Adam because I thought Juliette's disappearance would have serious repercussions. Indifference from him was the last thing I expected. I guess this just solidified my being in Warner's team.

This is Adam's pov from the end of Unravel Me. Most of the novella overlaps what you read at the end on Unravel Me, but now we find out what happens to Adam and Kenji after they are separated from Juliette. As the team faces the Establishment the losses will be innumerable and the stage is set for Ignite Me. The end of the novella catches us up with Juliette too. You will benefit from reading this quick novella and be even more excited to read the next novel. Enjoy.

I've read other reviews that said this novella made them not like Adam as much; it did the opposite for me. To see him torn with decisions & the desire to protect those he loves made me like Adam even more. I'm really glad I waited to read the 3rd book until I read this. I feel I know Adam so much better, just like I got to know Warner better in the first novella. Definitely worth the read!

It helps a lot to see the same situations from other points of view. Adam has to struggle to pledge his allegiance to one friend or another. I'm beginning to see how this is going to end. I hope I'm wrong.

Novella from the perspective of Adam.

Unlike the first novella from Warner’s perspective I didn’t think this one was needed. We didn't really get anything more out of Adam’s character or the storyline. I guess it was an interesting little side note but it really did not change my views of the characters or gain anything out of it. Overall, not really needed.

Meh. Insight on Warner was better than insight on Adam. Adam's a whiny bitch. He was okay in the first book but he steadily got worse. I would've MUCH rather seen a Kenji novella!! At least Adam chose James over Juliette. Family is more important! Your saving grace, Adam!

Absolutely love this author's technique! These books are amazing, the frame of Juliette's mind is like adding poetry in the midst of the novel! A twisted, jarring poetry that is completely different and refreshing! Can't wait to read more from her in the future!

About 2/3rds of the book is information you already know. I don't think you gain much of a new perspective. It's not until the last few pages that you learn anything new about the story line. Unlike the first novella from Warner' s perspective, I don't think Adams perspective adds much to the story line.

This short story was amazing and I couldn't put it down. I absolutely loved being able to see into Warners head and I'm so glad that I got to see into Adams. I'm so excited to start reading the next book and I know it won't be a let down.

This was OK, not near as good as the novella Destroy Me. I'm not a big Adam fan so it just confirmed to me how whiny and unconcerned for Juliette he really is. There is not much to this novella so maybe check it out from your library instead of buying it. It's not worth the $2.99 price.

Unless absolutely love and now I feel so b Aaron bad for Adam. I want Juliette and Warner together, he truly cares about who she is. Adam only sees the kitchen nd side of her and doesnt want to believe anything else, Warner accepts ever aspect of her even the dangerous part.

Meh. Insight on Warner was better than insight on Adam. Adam's a whiny bitch. He was okay in the first book but he steadily got worse. I would've MUCH rather seen a Kenji novella!! At least Adam chose James over Juliette. Family is more important! Your saving grace, Adam!

Absolutely love this author's technique! These books are amazing, the frame of Juliette's mind is like adding poetry in the midst of the novel! A twisted, jarring poetry that is completely different and refreshing! Can't wait to read more from her in the future!

About 2/3rds of the book is information you already know. I don't think you gain much of a new perspective. It's not until the last few pages that you learn anything new about the story line. Unlike the first novella from Warner' s perspective, I don't think Adams perspective adds much to the story line.

This short story was amazing and I couldn't put it down. I absolutely loved being able to see into Warners head and I'm so glad that I got to see into Adams. I'm so excited to start reading the next book and I know it won't be a let down.

This was OK, not near as good as the novella Destroy Me. I'm not a big Adam fan so it just confirmed to me how whiny and unconcerned for Juliette he really is. There is not much to this novella so maybe check it out from your library instead of buying it. It's not worth the $2.99 price.
