Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

This is book three of the Shatter Me trilogy. I absolutely loved it. Juliette has just been shot by Anderson, saved by Warner, and brought back to base by Warner. No one knows she is alive. Warner tells her that everyone from Omega Point is dead. They lost the battle and Anderson destroyed Omega Point. Obviously, Juliette is devastated. She wants Warner to show her so she can see it for herself. He agrees to take her to Omega Point after making a plan.

It wouldn't be much of a book if everyone associated with Omega Point had actually died of course. The main characters are still living and Juliette runs into Kenji when she's at Omega Point. Kenji's special power (being invisible) is incredibly helpful throughout these three books, by-the-way! Anyway, the survivors of Omega Point have re-assembled themselves back at Adam & James' initial home. Needless to say, it does NOT go over well when Juliette & Warner visit the old gang. We definitely see a different side to Adam. Adam detests Warner and shows his spitefulness with every word and every action. He is quite difficult to like - and it gets easier and easier to intensely dislike!

Because of his love for Juliette, Warner is willing to provide shelter for the survivors at his own base (so they have shelter and food), but this suggestion isn't well-received initially. It takes a lot of persuasion by Juliette (and honestly Kenji) for most of the survivors to agree to move to base, leaving behind Adam & James. My fondness for Kenji has grown exponentially since the beginning of this trilogy. He becomes Juliette's best friend and it's his loyalty to her that helps Juliette present Warner to the group as someone different than they all believed him to be. Everyone needs a best friend like that.

This is finally the part of the story when Juliette steps up to be the person she needs to be in order to take down The Reestablishment. She is the only one who can truly lead them to victory and take down Anderson. Warner gets her to understand that she needs to be strong physically as well and he starts training her in other ways. She has a lot better understanding of her own powers, as well as Adam's and Warner's - still the only two people that can touch her bare skin.

This story has an incredibly satisfying ending. The book is fast-paced and I read it in one day. There was no way I was putting it down!
