Destroy Me 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.

Pro´s/Con's
What I love the most about this book is the fact that it showed me Warner from a whole different perspective, you get inside his head and it's very interesting to see what he is thinking about the world and Juliette. You understand him a lot better after finishing this story and it makes it a lot harder (for me at least) to pick a favorite between Adam and Warner). After finishing Shatter Me I just preferred Adam a little bit over Warner but after reading Destroy Me I didn't have any preference anymore. Mafi has done such an amazing job with changing my view with just a little bit less then 130 pages, it's just amazing.
What I also truly enjoyed is that Mafi has written the story down in a very different way then Shatter Me, the voice and the way Warner is thinking is very different from Juliette which makes it very easy to slip into his head. I didn't think for even one second that I was in someone's else's head then that of Warner.
The story in this book is, while short, very good. In two weeks some things happen and they might not seem large at first but you know that it will mean something in the next book. Update: now that I have finished Unravel Me I can say for sure that the little things that happen in Destroy Me do actually have an effect in Unravel Me. It's amazing and awesome to see how it all works out!
Last note: I love the cover, it matches very nicely with Shatter Me and I can't wait to see the whole series standing next to each other.

Recommend it?
I (very obviously) recommend this book to everyone who has read and enjoyed Shatter Me. It doesn't matter if you prefer Adam or Warner, this book is a very interesting. You should read this before starting Unravel Me because it changes your view of Warner and it gives you some explanation for the things that happen in Unravel Me.
