This was one of the first series I ever read. If you want a YA, enemies to lovers, love triangle, and a dystopian fantasy book series, with some steamy parts, the Shatter me series is for you. I’ve been hearing about this series on Booktok and I finally decided to get it. The start of the first book, Shatter Me, was a bit slow for me, but it definitely got a lot more interesting in the middle and end. I love the way Tahereh Mafi writes. It makes it a lot more interesting. Not all of the books were very good for me, and, to be honest, I dont remember most parts of the books, but I know that all books weren’t for me. But I still like this series. I’m only allowed to read YA, so this was really good because some parts were explicit, but in YA and in Tahereh Mafis writing, it made it a lot better. Another thing I like about this series is the dystopian fantasy. I thought I would only like thrillers before, but this series showed me that I don’t only like thrillers, but also some fantasy. Lastly, one thing I LOVE about this series is…AARON MF WARNER. I love this man. He’s actually one of my fav parts of this series! I didn’t like him in the start much, but trust me, you’ll get what I’m saying in Ignite me. Especially chapter 55….but don’t spoil it for yourself! All in all, I think this series is definitely worth reading. I give it a 4.2 stars. If you like YA, dystopian fantasy, with a love triangle and enemies to lovers, that include some steamy parts, the Shatter Me series is definitely for you.

I loved this book, though it was a little hard to get into for me. When I started this book I thought about leaving it on DNF. (Do/did not finish) It was slow at the start, and very little happened. But sense I was on a trip while reading it, I got bored on the long ride home so I needed to read. I ended up getting to the middle and a little past, which luckily isn’t that much because it’s a short book. Anyways, after the middle point things got interesting and the only thing that made me put the book down was the sickness I felt from reading and sitting in the car at the same time, and thinking—in way more graphics than the book showed—about the killings that happened in the book. I finished it that same day and absolutely loved it. I highly HIGHLY recommend this book even though it’s a little hard and slow to get into. If you like murder mysteries, plot twists, and thrillers, I fully recommend The Island by Natasha Preston.
