Destroy Me, by Tahereh Mafi

 

In "Shatter Me," Juliette escaped reincarnation 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 deal with. 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 quell any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his top priority is to find her, bring her back and eliminate Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. When Warner's father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son's mistakes, it is clear that he has different plans for Juliette. Warner can't allow plans to go ahead.

In this book, it is not the continuation of Shatter Me. This is the perspective of Aaron Warner and his thoughts of Juliette putting a bullet in his shoulder and his daily life in the sector 45. He thinks of ways to bring Juliette back. In Shatter Me, I thought that Arron was this person that just want the power for himself without thinking about anything else. But actually, after reading from his perspective it is shown that he likes Juliette more than her powers. I liked the way that the author thought of making from Aarons's perspective to the reality of his life. I would recommend people to read this book, even though this is the 1.5 of the book series and not considered the second book. That is why Destroy Me, by Tahereh Mafi, has shorter pages than the other books in this series.
