Defy Me

Description:

Juliette and Warner’s story continues in the thrilling fifth installment of Tahereh Mafi’s New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series.

Juliette Ferrars isn’t who she thinks she is.

Nothing in her world is what it seemed. She thought she’d finally defeated The Reestablishment. She thought she’d finally taken control of her life, her power, and her pain. But Juliette has only just begun to unravel a lifetime of lies, and she finds herself faced with a familiar choice: 

Be a weapon. Or be a warrior. 

This time, she’s not alone. Stronger, braver, and more resilient than ever, Juliette will fight for life and love with her friends by her side—but first, she has to survive the war being waged against her mind:

She has to remember who she was.

Narrated by Juliette, Warner, and Kenji Kishimoto, this gripping novel will leave readers hungry for Imagine Me, the sixth novel in the series.

And don't miss Watch Me, the first book in a new series in the Shatter Me universe set ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment, on sale in April 2025!


Editorial Reviews

Review

PRAISE FOR Defy Me: “Written with precision and a sense of urgency, each chapter a strobe light–like moment in the lives of the teens trying to save their world. The prose moves readers swiftly from crisis to crisis.” — Booklist Online

PRAISE FOR THE SERIES: “Tahereh Mafi’s bold, inventive prose crackles with raw emotion. A thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love, the Shatter Me series is a must-read for fans of dystopian young adult literature-or any literature!” — Ransom Riggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Unravel Me is dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense. I dare you to stop reading.” — Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of the Beautiful Creatures series

“Addictive, intense, and oozing with romance. I’m envious. I couldn’t put it down.” — Lauren Kate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fallen series 

“Mafi combines a psychological opener with an action-adventure denouement in her YA debut. This is a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.” — Publishers Weekly

“Rip-roaring adventure and steamy romance scenes, with a relationship teens will root for as much as they did for Bella and Edward.” — Booklist

“Fast-paced action scenes convey imminent danger vividly. Part cautionary tale, part juicy love story, this will appeal to action and adventure fans.” — Kirkus Reviews

From the Back Cover

I’m adrift, suspended in a pool of senselessness, currents pushing me to the surface of something—an emotional revelation—that trembles into existence only to evaporate, seconds later, as if it might be terrified to exist.

This goes on and on and on and on and on
Lightyears.
Eons.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best series that I have ever read

C. · April 5, 2019

I do not even know where to start!Reading this series was definitely a delight! I thought since it was YA that it was going to be cheesy and not very well written.I have to say that I am blown away! Tahereh Mafi definitely sucked me in with this series!I read all the books as well as the novellas in under 2 weeks! I couldn’t put them down!I loved the twist of the unexpected love story forming in the earlier books! I love how she was so intuned and on the nose with the emotions and feelings of all the characters and not just Juliette (Ella). She had every character and their different lives and she captured them beautifully.I felt what they felt! at times i got aggravated, excited, sad and you could feel that the love and all the emotions were captured!I loved that she was able to make the “love scenes” appropriate and tasteful.. leaving room for your imagination take hold without giving you all the details.This story line was amazing! The twist of the apocalyptic feeling and the impending doom of the reestablishment! Then throw in the aspect of super powers!Well done! I am utterly blown away by her writing skills!I often find it hard to get into most books from outside my normal authors, but this is one I definitely recommend all the time i was reading to everyone!Very well edited! Only a few mistakes i saw with that! But it was very well put together and written very well!Definitely glad that i found it at goodwill! I would definitely read this! Old or young it is just a well written series and it will stay with me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Story Line but YA

K.A. · April 23, 2025

The storyline gripped me in the first book. It was a great utopian fantasy type of series. However, I was not expecting it to continue as a young adult and wish that I knew that before I became hooked on the story. I always felt like it needed more. However, it was a great read and had a few interesting twists and turns that I didn’t see coming

5/5⭐️I was so scared not to like the next “trilogy” in this series but oh my god. I absolutely LOVED THIS BOOK. It was absolutely amazing!! After the ending of Restore Me I had no idea what to expect. I felt betrayed by some characters and thought everything went wrong. I had no idea how this book would go but it was incredible.Lot’s of new characters in this book that we got to know more about. So many secrets were revealed, so much action and WOOOOOW. I truly loved it. I love all the action and all the hardships the characters went through. So many times I found myself being completely thrown of and confused only to have another bomb dropped. I was constantly in surprise and couldn’t put this book down. It hooked me the whole way through.Lots of emotional moments between Juliette and Warner and it was soooo cute and heartfelt. I was so involved and just couldn’t wait to see what happened with them. They really are cute and one of my favourite couples now.There was a lot more Kenji POV and I’m not mad about it all. I love knowing his thoughts and seeing how emotional he is. He cares for people so much and really feels emotions intensely and I enjoyed seeing him go through different struggles.Im so glad I enjoyed this book and I don’t understand how people didn’t like it!! Honestly my favourite book is Ignite Me but this one is very close. I just like seeing the characters really go through something and this was so intense and I can’t even explain my feelings other than I loved it!

This is the best book in the series
