They must undergo extreme physical and intense psychological tests, that transform them all. But Tris has a secret that she is Divergent, which means she doesn't fit into any one group. If anyone knew, it would mean a certain death.

I watched the movie with my movie date buddies. I was like, Oh my gaaad! The movie was really good. It wasn't what I expected it to be.  I thought Shailene would really be Stiff in her acting, She's great though. She actually pulled it off, just needs a little push to be the badass Tris!

The movie was friggin awesome!

IGNITE ME (Shatter Me #3) by Tahereh Mafi

shatter me #3
 Title: Ignite Me (books three in Shatter Me series)
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Release Date: February 4, 2014
Number of Pages: 352
Published by: Harper Collins

SYNOPSIS:

The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, called "a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love"

Juliette now knows she may be the only one who can stop the Reestablishment. But to take them down, she'll need the help of the one person she never thought she could trust: Warner. And as they work together, Juliette will discover that everything she thought she knew-about Warner, her abilities, and even Adam-was wrong.

In Shatter Me, Tahereh Mafi created a captivating and original story that combined the best of dystopian and paranormal and was praised by Publishers Weekly as "a gripping read from an author who's not afraid to take risks." The sequel, Unravel Me, blew readers away with heart-racing twists and turns, and New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia said it was "dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense." Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and climactic end. (SOURCE: GOODREADS)


MY THOUGHTS

I haven't read the book yet but I can tell you now, this book would be my favorite of all Tahereh's masterpieces! I've posted my reviews on the previous books in this series here on my blog. And every book was five-star for me. I am soooooo in love with Tahereh Mafi and her exquisite talent. She holds me with her words and imprison me with the characters she created. I love everything about this girl. Even though I don't know her personally, her books already told me she's a great person. Her books reflect who she is. 

Anyways, I never had the chance to receive an ARC of Ignite Me unlike the previous books. I haven't received anything yet. I wish someone is kind enough to lend me a copy of this much-anticipated book of 2014 *crossfingers


Please please please be February 4 already! CRAAAAAAP! I can't wait to have this book! Especially when reading the reviews of beta-readers and also some of the best-selling authors!

If you haven't read the books yet, well, babe, you definitely are missing half of your life! The series is for all fans of dystopian novels-- Suzanne Collins, Veronica Roth, Carrie Ryan, Ally Condie, Ransomm Riggs and soo many to mention authors. This series is action-packed with romance just enough for your taste and HOT GUYS! Yeah. You heard that right! Swoon-worthy hot guys. WARNER IS MINE PLEASE! *ahem 

 

Here are the other books in the series. In a trilogy, there's supposed to have three books but this series has five, Shatter Me, Destroy Me- which is told by Warner's (me baby) point of view, Unravel Me and the recently released novella Fracture Me which was told by Adam.
