I have read concepts similar to Shatter Me but never in this world, it is something truly one of a kind. Tarereh's characters Juliette and Adam have a past Juliette more so than Adam. As you dive into the story that is scarred and lost, right along with the people. Its a terrible world in need of saving, and even when it appears to have no hope it does by the people who would be considered out cast or freaks.
Juliette has been locked up for years hasn't spoken to another human being in almost a year. She goes through the kind of torture that ruins the minds of the strongest men. Her character is kind and selfless but no one sees that in her they just see a monster, someone who can kill with a single touch. She hates what she can do but doesn't hate her self as a person.
Adam is a hard character to understand and that is on purpose. It appears that he is just getting to know her, that he doesn't remember Juliette. And then you go through a whirl wind and everything is upside down. But as you get further and further you uncover who he does cares for and where his true loyalties lie.
The story is a fascinating read, the power that Juliette holds is a fairly newer concept but it sets the bar from what I've read in this genre.
