      Juliette and Warner's story continues in the thrilling fifth installment of Tahereh Mafi's New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series. Juliette Ferrars isn't who she thinks she is. Nothing in her world is what it seemed. She thought she'd finally defeated the Reestablishment. She thought she'd finally taken control of her life, her power, and her pain. But Juliette has only just begun to unravel a lifetime of lies, and she finds herself faced with a familiar choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior. This time, she's not alone. Stronger, braver, and more resilient than ever, Juliette will fight for life and love with her friends by her side--but first, she has to survive the war being waged against her mind: She has to remember who she was. Narrated by Juliette, Warner, and Kenji Kishimoto, this gripping novel perfectly sets the stage for the highly anticipated forthcoming conclusion to the Shatter Me series.

    • Sookie Stackhouse is een serveerster met een speciale gave – ze kan gedachten lezen – wat soms heel vermoeiend is en soms heel erg van pas komt. Alleen bij Bill Compton, de nieuwkomer in het dorp op wie ze halsoverkop verliefd wordt, wil het niet lukken, terwijl ze juist over hém meer te weten zou willen komen. Ook al omdat hij er een griezelig stel vrienden op na houdt. Als een van Sookies collega’s wordt vermoord, kijkt iedereen dezelfde kant op. Naar Bill. Er wordt zelfs gefluisterd dat Sookie wel eens zijn volgende slachtoffer zou kunnen worden. Want alle betrokkenen is één ding duidelijk: Bill Compton is een man met duistere geheimen.

      Het zit Sookie Stackhouse niet mee. Eerst wordt haar collega vermoord en dan ontmoet ze een beestachtig wezen dat haar vergiftigt. Gelukkig zijn de onsterfelijke vampiers er nog, van wie er een het gif uit haar wond zuigt en haar leven redt. Dus als een van hen haar om een tegenprestatie vraagt, namelijk een misdaad oplossen, kan Sookie niet anders dan toestemmen, op één voorwaarde: als de daders worden gevonden en het zijn mensen, moeten de onsterfelijken ze met rust laten. Dat is gemakkelijker beloofd dan gedaan...
