Have you ever wanted a superpower? How about if that superpower can kill people? Or even stop you from touching other people?
17 year old Juliette Ferrars has that superpower.
Her touch is lethal.
Her touch is power.
A group called the Reestablishment wants her to join their side to rebuild and shape the world.
Juliette doesn't want to.
The Reestablishment will come for her.
Juliette will come for the Reestablishment.
What will happen?
In comes Adam Kent. A boy Juliette had known prior to her kidnapping. A boy she loved. Adam Kent is the boy Juliette has a special connection with. A connection that allows him to touch her without killing him.
But the leader of the Reestablishment, Warner, also has that connection.
Juliette doesn't know why.
In UNRAVEL ME Juliette finally gets her questions answered.
Juliette, Kenji (another friend) and Adam fight for their lives. They train day in and day out. They become one with their powers and strength.
But is that enough to defeat the Reestablishment from their endgame?
Maybe. Maybe not.
In the book we see Juliette fighting for her life, for her friends, and for the man she loves. So the question is:
WHY IS ADAM JULIETTE'S WEAKNESS?
The answer:
- He's a liability.
- He's the man she loves.
- He's her best friend.
- “He looks away. And he smiles. It's the kind of smile that makes me forget how to do everything but blink and blink and I don't understand what's happening to me. I don't know why I can't convince my eyes to find something else to focus on. I don't know why my heart is losing its mind.”
Juliette can’t stop her feelings for Adam but she knows that she can’t focus if she’s focused on the wrong subject. As she pushes Adam away, she pulls towards Warner causing a love triangle between them.
This quote summarizes Juliette’s feelings:
- “He's looking so deeply into my eyes that I'm surprised I haven't buckled under the intensity and I realize then, right in this moment I realize that everything about him is intense. Nothing about him is manageable or easy to compartmentalize. He's too much. Everything about him is too much. His emotions, his actions, his anger, his aggression. His love.”
She doesn’t know how to deal with the love she gets from two men, one of who tried to kill her. Which is why she distances herself from Adam; she doesn’t want to hurt him or even kill him. In that she finds herself being sheltered by Warner which uses it to his advantage.
Would you want it even if you lose your friends because of the superpower? Would you want to run for your life? Juliette may have amazing powers that develops over time but she has challenges and choices to make to either better or worsen her life.
“The truth," he says, "is a painful reminder of why I prefer to live among the lies.”
Shatter Juliette.
Unravel Juliette.
Ignite Juliette.
Fracture Juliette.
Whatever you do, don’t hurt the people Juliette cares about.
