I'm more than human
My touch is power
I will fight back
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong colour.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.
Thoughts
I thought the premise of the book was really good, it gave off a kind of X-Men vibe, with Juliette containing powers much like Rogue, where if she touches anyone she can kill them.I found that the story flowed well, and it wasn't too slow-going (which most first books in a series can be).
I really liked the characters and found them to be well rounded, but with room for improvement (which I hope they do in the next books in the series).
I wasn't the biggest fan of the loved triangle between Juliette, Adam, and Warner. This does become somewhat predictable, you know who she is going to end up with in the end.
Overall a good book that I liked and I will carry on with the series.
