Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. Now she wants revenge. To save her sister she needs to get back home and destroy the system that created her. Rosabelle’s greatest strength is her ability to deaden her mind and body; it’s the only way to survive the surveillance state of Ark Island. But lately her heart has been beating harder; her thoughts are spiraling; her defenses are coming undone.
And there’s only one person to blame.
James Anderson had a plan. Now he has nothing but problems. Rosabelle might be the ally they need in a fight against The Reestablishment, but no one wants to trust an enemy assassin. It doesn’t help that Rosabelle’s not much of a talker, doesn’t work well in groups, and kills people on instinct. Taking her side has cost James nearly everything—but keeping her alive might help save his world.
If only he could convince his older brother.
Aaron Warner Anderson has a headache. Something dark is coming, and Rosabelle’s arrival is just a prelude. In her, he sees shades of himself he can’t trust, and he can no longer get a read on the girl. She’s a dead battery, emanating no emotional feedback. At least not until James walks into a room…
Volcanic tension, breathless reveals, breakneck action—and a dystopian world that never stops raising the
Welcome back to The New Republic.

Sometimes less is more, and that was definitly the case with this book. The yerning was so overdone it became cringe. Also I cant be the only one who thought tht Rosabelle was sort of infantalised. Like I get that its sort of a common trope to have a character whos very closed off and vulnerable and confused by this strange new world, but at times her portrayed sort of made me uncomfortable. Like the whole cat costume thing, and the repetition of "shes not wearing underwear" and James fantasizing about her whilst shes asleep or malnurished and small and weak, it all just gave me the ick. I yearn for a strong FMC but atm Rosabelle is just not it and its sort of frustrating.I still loved the book bc I love the shatter me universe and all th OGs but if I hadn't audiobooked this on, I think I would've struggled to finish it. The plot was bland, James and Rosabell were bland, nothing was happening.I loved watch me, but this one sort of feels like a filler book that could've been shortened into literally one chapter. That being said, I still enjoyed it and I will be picking up book 3 !!
Assusta me o facto de a situação deste livro poder ser tão aplicada à situação do mundo e da tecnologia atual, que me faz compreender porque é que a autora decidiu escrever outra série de livros. Enquanto o mundo descrito na trilogia shatter me, representa como um regime opressivo pode reescrever a percepção que a população tem do mundo onde vive, esta segunda série de livros demonstra o poder da inteligência artificial e alerta para um futuro onde a própria população deixa de pensar autonomamente, passando a ser controlado por sistemas de inteligência artificial aterrorizadamente mais autais.
