Juliette Ferrars has been locked in an asylum for over 264 days by the Reestablishment due to her ability to kill anybody with a single touch. One day, she is suddenly introduced to her new cellmate, Adam Kent, who just happens to be an old friend from her past. With the Reestablishment planning to use her as a new torture weapon, Juliette must make a choice in order to preserve her newfound freedom.

Overall, I really liked this book. Each character was very unique with their own backstory and voice, which made it really easy to tell when the character POV switched from Juliette to Warner in the sequel, Destroy Me. The characters felt like real people that you could relate to and I loved how they all had their opinions and ideas on what Juliette should do. Plus, Juliette’s character development was really great as she went from unsure and scared to starting to become more confident and embracing her powers near the end.

Personally, I feel like Warner and Juliette have more chemistry together than Juliette and Adam, but I can’t wait to learn more about Warner and his backstory as the series continues. I’d definitely recommend this book to anybody who’s a fan of books like The Hunger Games or the Delirium Trilogy.
