Waiting on Wednesday - SHATTER ME




Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we just can't wait to get our sticky fingers on.


Title: Shatter Me
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Release Date: November 15, 2011
Synopsis from Goodreads

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.


Greta: Hey dude!! My touch is pretty powerful too.
Darkfallen: Why are you telling me this?
Greta: Cuz you want to know.
Darkfallen: Ummm... noes... that's just weird.
Greta: No it's not!! Everyone wants to know that my touch is powerful.
Darkfallen: THat's creepy, dude! And quit touching things!


And what do we say when Greta's touch creeps Darkfallen out?




Must have NOWS!
We needs it!!
We wants it!!
We can't lives without it!!

    Sounds like a great read . . . I don't read a lot of YA, but I do like a good dystopia!
