Shatter Me

Shatter Me by Taheren Mafi
Juliette Ferrar is 17 and has been alone and jailed for almost a year, 264 days to be exact. Juliette has a gift or curse as she likes to call it, her touch causes pain and eventually death. This is something the government want to control and use for their benefit. On day 264 she is given a cell mate, Adam, who is immune to her touch. Coincidence, I think not, he is working for the government. They want him to get Juliette to come over to their side. But things are never that simple, Adam falls for Juliette and together they try to defeat the "Establishment".

This book is the first in a trilogy. Juliette's character starts out a bit whiny but as the story develops so does her character. If you are a fan of dystopian novels with romance thrown in you will not be disappointed.

                                                                               

Pure

Pure by Julia Baggot
First let me start off by saying this is the first book in a trilogy, so if you are expecting a nice clean ending it doesn't happen. I really liked this book but I found the relationship between Pressia and El Captain a little hard to swallow.

Pressia is a 16 year old girl who lives with her grandfather. They have survived the "Detonations", which happened 9 years earlier and totally changed the world. If you were outside the dome when the detonations happened you where fused to your surroundings; if you were lucky enough to be inside the dome then you escaped unscathed and you were "Pure".  It is Pressia's birthday and she must choose, become a heartless solider or die. Today is the day she starts fighting for her life.

Legend

Legend by Marie Lu

The United States no longer exists. It is called the Republic and is made up of the west coast of the United States. Sound familiar well. If you liked The Hunger Games you will absolutely love this book. It is non-stop action from the first page to the end and there’s even a little romance.

The Republic is a country always at war with its neighbors. June is a 15 year old rich girl who is being trained for the Republic’s military elite. Day the Republic’s most wanted criminal, fights for his family’s right just to survive. June’s brother Metias is murdered and Day is the number one suspect. June vows to bring her brother’s killer to justice. As June hunts down Day she finds out that things are not as the Republic would like everyone to think.
