Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi

Destroy Me (Shatter Me, #1.5) (Shatter Me Novella, #1)

by Tahereh Mafi

Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment 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 get rid of...

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 suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.

Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

I normally don't review novella's because there's usually so little to talk about. But this one really is a key in this whole series. It reveals a lot about Warner that's important and interesting set up for the next novel. And it expands and deepens his character really well.

I like that it isn't just a novella because that's all the rage these days - it's actually really relevant to the overall story and the characters.
