 THIS IS A COMBINATION REVIEW FOR BOOKS 1 & 2. 
 So I read Books 1, 2 and 3 in one day. One freaking day, and I can forgive it for taking up so much of my time because of the serious feels it gave me, despite frustrating issues with the writing at times, and the back-story given to our most lovable psychopath - Warner. But I'll come to those points later. 
 Here's a brief summary about how I felt reading each book, each satisfying in their own way....though the last was probably my least favourite in terms of Adam's character but the best in terms of developing Juliette. 
 BOOK ONE (SHATTER ME): 
 The first page, alongside the first line didn't give me much confidence. It started of with Juliette giving us an inventory of the things around her, but in an OCD way, where's she's doing it in numbers - probably trying to convey how long she's been trapped in that hellhole, to resort to counting all the tiles, and cracks and everything in-between. Also she had annoying habit of narrating lines, with a line crossed through it - to show what she was actually thinking, but crossing it out, and saying what she should be thinking instead. Use of this feature is unforgivable in my opinion (except to mimic a real-life crossing out of text, in a shopping list for example)- but I gritted my teeth and just hoped it would fade out. Which it did eventually - hallejuah! The next two books have much less of the feature. 
 Also, when it came to describing things - particularly emotions - no-one can stand close to Juliette. She gets all poetic on us, and her narration takes a nosedive, not using proper punctuation and grammar, to probably show the fluidity of her thoughts, and although I reluctantly admit, I wasn't all that repulsed by it, sometimes I just whizzed past, impatiently waiting for the scene to start. 
 She has some good metaphors in there - but the hyperbole used was not something I'm crazy about. For eg, when Adam asks Juliette a question, she blinks "a thousand times" before she answers...do you know how long blinking a thousand times takes? Minutes. And that's if you haven't given up by then, from blinking extra fast due to having TIME CONSTRAINTS for having a shower, and nobody's got time to be standing around, blinking 1000 times. Also in one of the later books, the MC runs up 2, 3 or 50 flights of stairs...she isn't quite sure which. Well, let me tell you there's quite a difference. This exaggeration issue crops up many times...perhaps to show how our MC is losing her grips on reality, but hyperbole really isn't the tool to use, if it's in this way. Writing : 2/5. Gradually improves to 3/5 for the remainder of the series. 
 But the main standout of the story...was quite clearly the plot, characters and romance. Hell yes. From the moment Adam is planted to "spy" on Juliete, from the both of them escaping from Sector 45, I was invested, despite wincing through the prose or skipping certain bits. The writing couldn't diminish or hide the characters, only enhance them - and I truly believe some people are talented enough, that they can create wonderfully complex characters and breath-taking scenes, which outshines their writing completely. Does that make any sense? 
 Warner is a villain we're introduced to quite early on, and despite having a soft spot for pretty boy psychopaths in stories (which he did with kudos btw...apparently letting blindfolded toddlers wander to their doom, and slaughtering his men cold-heartedly) but despite this, he has a clear fascination with Juliette from the off. I don't take his affection seriously though, because anyone with a brain can see, he's treating her like a toy to play with, and Adam...he provided all the sexual tension, being a former classmate Juliette used to know, who got recruited by Warner just so he could find her all these years later...terribly romantic, and I won't forget that Adam later on. 
 When the pair of them escaped out the window, I was very happy, and then Warner was on the floor looking so desperate and he...touched her. Yes, because the MC has this debilitating condition where no-one can touch her, lest they DIE.I kid you not. She totally falls into the Mary Sue aspect, of being "A Special Snowflake" but I wouldn't label Juliette a Mary Sue....because she's the character that grows most throughout the series. 
 Warner of course hunts her desperately, and the showdown at the end of the book is especially thrilling. That kiss full of passion, and then she shoots him! Definitely caught my attention. Plot and characters: 5/5. 
 BOOK TWO (UNRAVEL ME): 
 I'll keep this shorter, lol. Book two was equally as delicious and I noticed some improvements in the narration.
