Review: Destroy Me

 


Title: Destroy Me

Series: Shatter Me series

Author: Tahereh Mafi

Release Date: October 2012



Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of...


Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.


Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.


Goodreads | Purchase 



So Destroy Me is a novella that is in Warner's POV & Shatter Me must be read first. 

Back at the base, Warner is recovering from the wound Juliette inflicted upon him. He must now do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in line, and surpress any mention of a rebellion in his sector. He is still obsessed with Juliette, and plans on finding her and bringing her back, and disposing of both Adam and Kenji the two traitors who helped her escape. But when his father the Supreme Commander arrives to correct Warner's mistakes, it is clear that he has much different plans if he finds Juliette, plans Warner cannot let happen.  

So I loved getting a peak into Warner's head. Of seeing things from his point of view, his obsession, and what makes him the way that he is. This novella was great in seeing a side of Warner we didn't get to see in Shatter Me- so if you like Shatter Me this is a must read to get Warner's POV. 

4⭐ out of 5⭐. 

1🌶️ out of 5🌶️.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...
