For 264 days, Juliette has not touched anyone. Her parents sent her away since “the accident” and she has been in a solitary confinement situation since then. Juliette’s touch does something to people and has the potential to kill (think X-Men). When a new cell mate arrives, Adam, things start to change for Juliette. Adam, a former classmate, shows Juliette that she is human and helps her start to feel again. She, of course, immediately feels something for Adam. Adam works for the military of the new world that is recovering from overpopulation, under production of food, and martial law. Adam’s cruel boss, Warner, wants to use Juliette’s touch as a torture weapon. Warner doesn’t expect Adam to fall for Juliette, but when that happens, Adam and Juliette forge a plan to escape from Warner’s clutches. They have no idea how badly Warner wants Juliette on his side. Amidst a flurry of gunfire, they escape. Through a series of harrowing events, they find themselves on the grounds of the only place that harbors others like Juliette. Others with gifts. Will Juliette be safe here? In part one of a series, author Tahereh Mafi provides us with a super hot romance, empathetic characters, a war torn country, and people with special abilities.
