OVER 8 MILLION COPIES SOLD. THE GLOBAL BESTSELLER AND TIKTOK SENSATION!

"Addictive, intense, and oozing with romance” Lauren Kate, Fallen

"Dangerous, sexy, romantic and intense! Kami Garcia, Beautiful Creatures

“My favourite series of all time” Goodreads review

Powerless meets A Court of Thorns and Roses in this stunningly romantic dystopian YA fantasy.

A fragile young teenage girl is held captive.

Locked in a cell by The Reestablishment – a harsh dictatorship in charge of a crumbling world. This is no ordinary teenager. Juliette is a threat to The Reestablishment's power. A touch from her can kill – one touch is all it takes.

But not only is she a threat, she is potentially the most powerful weapon they could have. Juliette has never fought for herself before but when she’s reunited with the one person who ever cared about her, the depth of the emotion and the power within her become explosive …

AMAZING

I'd like to agree that the narrator was not good, but I think she did a pretty good job with the content she was given. Everything sounded so erotic (?) that I almost didn't finish it.
I loved the main idea of the book, the world sounds like the one of the hunger games, except the main character can kill people with her touch (how cool!). Unlike the hunger games though, the characters in this book clearly do not have their priorities straight. I mean, if you're locked up by your enemy and showering in a place that may have microphones (as mentioned in a chapter before that point) surely you wouldn't be making out with the soldier that's meant to be guarding you? And, my god, they cannot keep their hands off each other! I have a few issues with that: 1) they just met! within about 4 chapters we're hearing about his muscular body with abs or whatever, yet we don't know if we should trust that man, 2) If someone is experiencing proper touch for the first time in their life, after they've killed someone by simply touching them, and after they've lived in fear of touching and killing people, surely they would be so overwhelmed they would not want to be touch so so so much (and oh my god they just can't keep their hands off each other!)


It feels like the author has pushed aside the most important, the most interesting part of the book, in order to have more romance. Clearly the main focus isn't the dystopian world, or how to survive in it, or the horrors that are clearly happening; no, let's hear more about silly Juliette, who's not like the other girls, and big muscles Adam make out whilst they are TRYING TO ESCAPE!

I rolled my eyes so much I have a headache

The narrator did an awesome job with doing different voices for different characters, story is great but sometimes a bit dull.

Loved it

it got better at the end, really pulling you in and wanting to read the next book. I bought the book set and used this when I was busy with my hands to pick the book up.

Really enjoyed the storyline

I love this narrator, she really captures every character she does very well. She makes it easy to connect to the main character and the story. She also brings the well written story alive. I won't say much about the story as the less you know the better it is, but if you like dystopian and/or marvel, then this book is for you! Looking forward to book 2

Dystopian meets Marvel.
