When I was first introduced to this book, I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did when I actually read it. The whole plot and the characters were quite unique. The story starts out with introducing the main character, Jacob (Jake) Portman who was a kid who was socially inept. When Jake’s grandfather mysteriously dies from what Jake thinks was a monster, he ends up going on an adventure to find out the truth about his grandfather’s past. He finds out that his grandfather was involved with strange things, stranger than he thought.

Unravel Me is a beautifully written book. Although it’s not my favorite out

of the six books in the Shatter Me series, it is still very good. All of the

books in the series have left me speechless and shocked. Definitely my

favorite series of all time.

As with all of the books in the Shatter Me series, I absolutely loved

Restore Me. It definitely has a plot twist at the end, with a major

cliffhanger there too. I loved the writing style, and every book in this series

has been a hit.

This book is really good, though maybe not the best (in my opinion) out of

all of the books in the Shatter Me series (Defy Me is book five). While it’s

definitely worth it to read, I feel that it does have some boring spots, which

is unusual for this series. The most interesting of the book is pretty far in,
