Shatter Me Series by Tahereh Mafi

Cover: (First Book)
Rating: 5 stars...if I could I would do more stars it is just that great.

Plot: The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior. 

This story has to be one of the only stories, besides Jennifer L Armentrout series and Richelle Mead series, that truly made me breathless and excited. This story makes you laugh, cry, and all those other great emotional things. This book changes you. The lines are so poetic and unique and true that you just never want to stop reading and keeping reading these paragraphs over and over again.
You will be screaming for the next one. 

Characters: So Juliette. She is truly one of the best female leads I have ever read because she is so true and honest and relate-able. I loved her because all these heroine's we read they are strong and amazing and everything is always easy. We never see them cry, mope, break-up! I love when charcters break-up because that makes them real. I'm sorry but how many first relationships ever work out? Not many. And Tahereh shows us a real true girl who has emotions and is afraid. I have a girl crush on Juliette. Seriously. 
(Exactly how I pictured her which is scary.)

Adam is the first male lead and I have to admit, I wasn't sold with him and not to spoil much but she ends up with the guy she was supposed to.

Warner...the other guy and swoon. Bad boy. Like really bad boy. But then you peal layers back and underneath...mmmm. I love him. No lie.

There is NO love triangle in this series. You will understand when you finish because there isn't a triangle but there are two love interests. 

(Hot guys for your viewing pleasure. Neither are exactly what i picture but they are pretty close.)

Ending: Wow. Just wow. All three books will have you grasping out through tears and laughing so hard you pee a little. Kenji makes the book and I will stop myself there because I will just on about Kenji forever. (Notice i didn't mention him in characters because he is just so awesome it would be longer than the whole review if I added him). The ending of the series is satisfying and done well unlike so many books these days. I seriously suggest you guys go get this because it is so epic it deserves a moment of silence everyday. No, seriously. So start reading with no interruptions.
And when you finish you will be like:


Because you can't believe its over and how good it was.


But in all seriousness without my love of gifs READ THIS SERIES OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!

That is all.

Undone by Shannon Richard

I am not going to deep into detail for this because I wasn't a huge fan of it. I read it months ago and forgot to blog about it due to my crazy college schedule. This story portrays the discrimination towards women and men so well. Because a girl wears short shorts it means she is a ho or if a boy sleeps around he is a stud but if a girl does she is a ho. This story is cute in its romance. Definitely for 16+ due to sexual situations and sex scenes. I definitely think if you are looking for a quick read then this is for you.

3 stars.
