So apparently BLUE is a recurring theme this week… lol

Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to an allying pirate clan: she wants to captain her own boat, not serve as second-in-command to her handsome yet clueless fiance. But her escape has dire consequences when she learns the scorned clan has sent an assassin after her.
And when the assassin, Naji, finally catches up with her, things get even worse. Ananna inadvertently triggers a nasty curse — with a life-altering result. Now Ananna and Naji are forced to become uneasy allies as they work together to break the curse and return their lives back to normal. Or at least as normal as the lives of a pirate and an assassin can be.
Pirates. Pirates AND assassins. Do I really need to say more?
.
Yup.
Still on that assassin’s kick…

Perfect for the fans of Shatter Me who are desperately awaiting the release of Unravel Me, this novella-length digital original will bridge the gap between these two novels from the perspective of the villain we all love to hate, Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.
In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .
Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.
Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

I am super curious about Warner!

Ms. Kiera, you are more than welcome to insert your blurb here… <wink>
Despite the somewhat predictable outcome of the first installment, I’m interested to find out more about some of the secondary plotlines and characters. Plus, Cass does an awesome job with detailed imagery, so I’m feeling girly and am excited for more fancy dresses!
So what are you looking forward to this week?
Dani – is what you’re reading historical?
Lots of awesome picks!!
Nope, I don’t think so
OoOOo awesome picks!!!!! I loved The Selection and actually truly liked the lightness of this Dystopian story! Also, Shatter Me was amazing and I adore the new covers!
Oh and ….. The Assassins Curse? WAS amazing! The bad ass assassin has glowing tattoos! woot!
Glowing tattoos?!?! Awesome! So glad to hear that you loved it so much!
These all look so amazing. Especially The Assassin’s Curse (need to add that to my TBR) and Destroy Me that I am anxiously awaiting because I loved Warner in Shatter Me. Thanks so much for sharing and for stopping by my post
Picks for this week look amazing. Destroy Me is at the top of my TR list, but I’ll definitely need to add The Assassin’s Curse. Thanks for the suggestions
haha yes, I’m seeing the blue theme. All three look good, The Assassin’s Curse has been on my radar for a while (and I’ve been hearing good things). I haven’t Shatter Me, so I need to get on that before the sequel comes out, and then I can read the novella, too. Great picks!
I hadn’t heard of the first book, but the second and the third one are both books I’ve been dying to read. Great picks!
Em @ A Beautiful Madness
My WOW
All your picks are great especially Aly’s pick! I’m really excited for “The Elite”.
I loved “The Selection”
Here’s mine.
I will definitely be getting Destroy Me. Can’t wait!
THE. ASSASSIN’S. CURSE.
Just, just read it. Ok? It’s brilliant. 😀
<3
Ah! I want to read ‘The Assassin’s Curse’ and ‘Destroy Me’! I LOVED ‘Shatter Me’ and really want to learn more about Warner. And PIRATE BOOKS!!! There isn’t enough of them out there (but the ones that I’ve stumbled across are all fantastic XD )
I haven’t read ‘The Selection’ yet, so I can’t say whether or not I’m eagerly awaiting ‘The Elite’
Definitely mad excited for Destroy Me! Need some more Warner. I was not a fan of The Selection but I may pick up The Elite at the library and just scan through it like I did with The Selection. Thanks for stopping by!
I have Destroy me on my to-read list and I can’t wait to give it a try. Great picks!
Come check out my WOW post.
The Assassin’s Curse looks interesting, and I do like the cover (quite reminiscent of my WoW this week: The Nightmare Affair, as well as Unspoken!).
YES, OMG, I can’t wait for Destroy Me! I’m so curious about Warner, too. I told my sister that I don’t think there’s anything that could make me want Juliette to be with Warner, but I am curious to see if this will make me sympathize with him at least.
I haven’t read The Selection, so I can’t comment much on The Elite, but I do love the lettering on those covers.
Great picks this week! 😀
Awesome picks ladies!! I hope you all get to read them soon =)
