Shatter Me- Chapter Eight- Adam, You Bastard!!!/Enter Guy #2

This chapter begins with more of Juliette glossing over important things. This time? 48 hours of unconsciousness.

She wakes up after two days in a room marginally bigger than her previous hellhole, and doesn't even have time to metaphor before a soldier is forcing her somewhere else.

And then, there's Adam, who's become the devil.

"Adam is pointing a gun at my chest." 


This is a weird bit of plot that I'm not sure is actually going to be resolved, so...

Moving on from...this....Adam the bastard, in a turn of irony, leads her to the person she's going to leave him for: Guy Number Two, whose wonderful name (Warner, not gonna say his first name because it won't come up for a couple hundred pages) is unfortunately associated with hatred for now.

Juliette's reaction to seeing him is decidedly better than her reaction to Adam.

"He's beautiful."

But still, he's the one in charge of all those soldiers.

"I hate him."
The feeling is, for about another book and a half, unfortunately shared by me and most people who didn't read the wiki and ruin it for themselves.

He shames her a bit before turning to Adam, who is quite deferential to him considering how they treat each other in Ignite Me. But we'll get to that later, much, much,  later.  Juliette, though she is hating both of them, is apparently enjoying the eye candy, and I can't say I blame her.

"Adam says nothing. He doesn't look in my direction. His body is erect, 6 feet of gorgeous lean muscle, his profile strong and steady. The same arms that held my body are now holsters for lethal weapons."

Juliette asks if Warner is going to kill her, which of course he isn't because he loves her in the way Marco lobes Celia without knowing her.

This chapter ends with Warner proposing some unintentional torture.

"I manage to lift my head.
'I have a proposition for you.'"

Next chapters of this and The Night Circus will be up tomorrow.
