Synopsis:
Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. 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.
In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a world as riveting as The Hunger Games and a superhero story as thrilling as The X-Men. Full of pulse-pounding romance, intoxicating villainy, and high-stakes choices, Shatter Me is a fresh and original dystopian novel—with a paranormal twist—that will leave readers anxiously awaiting its sequel.
AHHHHH!!!! LOVE IT!!!! I can't wait to read this one, and that cover just makes me even more excited. Thanks so much for sharing Bailey!
ReplyDeleteCan't say I agree. I don't like the cover at all it just seems like a hundred other YA covers. I don't know why pretty girls in pretty dresses are all publishers are coming up with these days. I kind of wish they'd be more creative. With an amazing premise and cool title like Shatter Me I think they could've done a lot better. Glad you like it though!

I dunno...I'm not too fond of the dress. I feel like with that kind of tagline, the model should be dressed for action or something, and posing in a more action-y way.
ReplyDeleteStill, I love the background SO MUCH. And what they did with the title. But yeah, not a big fan of the girl in a dress.
Oooh, very striking! I like the dark/light contrasts going on.
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! Not what I was expecting from the summary, of course, but still very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the synopsis Bailey! I've seen the cover reveal all over, but this is the first I've seen of what's behind it! Have to agree with Aylee... Maybe not what I was expecting from the cover, but interesting nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteThat cover is AMAZING!! The book sounds so so so good!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting book. I love the cover too. -Putting in on my to-read list :)
ReplyDeleteI think I've been anticipating it so much I'm kinda let down...it's still pretty though!
