Summary: Perfect for the fans of Shatter Me who are desperately awaiting the release of Unravel Me, this novella-length digital original will bridge the gap between these two novels from the perspective of the villain we all love to hate, Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, 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.

My Thoughts: This is a novella so its super short. We are back with Warner right after the end of Shatter Me. We see what happens in Sector 45 while they are gone. We get to experience things from Warner's point of view and how he feels.

I liked seeing things from Warner’s point of view, just to learn how he saw things when Juliette was around, and how he truly felt about her. This was so short so there isn’t really much to say about it. We get to see how he feels about his father and what he really thinks about him. We get to see how he looks deeper into Juliette’s mind.

I liked reading this enough, but it didn’t have much depth but it was a good short story in between books.

Overall: I liked it quite a bit. Since there really isn’t a main plot or anything it’s hard to really get into it. I’m glad I got to see things from his point of view though. A good look inside the villain's mind. You don't have to read this between books but its fun too!

Cover: It’s alright. I like the eye and the color!

What I’d Give It:
