  “Darkness fell.” So ends – and begins – the many lives of Ursula Todd. Kate Atkinson’s protagonist is born in February 1910 in the midst of a blizzard…and dies with the umbilical cord around her neck, attended by the hapless kitchen maid.

  Shatter Me: Book 1

  Shatter Me

  by Tahereh Mafi

  • Rated 5 stars

  A monster is what she calls herself. A weapon is what she is called by others. A human being will abilities unlike any other is what those who love her name her and constantly remind her. A story of Juliette Ferrars, the way she finds that her curse she has always regretted is infact a gift and will help her fight back those who threaten to kill Adam and all those she loves. A great novel that clearly shows the kindness in the world.
