Ignite Me

book cover


This is the third book in the young adult, dystopian Shatter Me Series and in my opinion, these books just keep getting better! I would give this book a six out of five stars if I could. It really tugged at my heart strings. I had those moments where I just had to sit there and process what just happened. One of the highlights of this book is how friendships truly start to develop. What I love about this series is its great balance between romance and friendship. As much as I’m a sucker for a good romance, seeing strong friendships bloom always brings a smile to my face as a reader. Although the Shatter Me series includes six books, it can be seen as two separate arcs: the first three form one complete phase, while the next three begin a new chapter in the story. Ignite Me wraps up the first era beautifully and Restore Me kicks off what feels like a whole new storyline. If you read the first two books, definitely read this one!

She knows she has died. Her father is fearful since he tells her he has enemies and was terrified of them finding him. She is anxious to discover all these mysteries, and starts doing some research. I enjoyed this book, but I found it somewhat confusing because of all the characters. However, there is a twist at the end that I never saw coming.

5 stars are not enough for the latest novel by master story teller Stephen King. Holly is back, Barbara is back and Jerome is back but you don't need to know who the are, but if you are a King fan you do. Be prepared to NOT want to stop reading Never Flinch with plot twists and don't try to figure it out. Great way to start my Summer Reading
