Lose yourself in this exhilarating return to the #1 global bestselling Shatter Me universe, the first book in a new series set ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment.

James Anderson had a plan. Or half of one. He managed to do what his older brother, the famous Aaron Warner Anderson, never did: infiltrate Ark Island, the last refuge of The Reestablishment. No outsider has breached the stronghold of the authoritarian regime, but James is in. In a prison cell, sure, but as far as James is concerned, a win is a win.

It’s been ten years since the notorious duo Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner Anderson led a worldwide rebellion and established the New Republic of the West. But The Reestablishment is ready to make a devastating move, and they have the perfect assassin for the job.

Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. She always has a plan. On Ark Island, where constant surveillance is packaged as security, even emotions must be experienced with caution. Her every movement is monitored—and when she’s given an order to kill, she never hesitates.

Brimming with pulse-pounding action and torturous romance, Watch Me is an explosive journey through a dystopian landscape where enemies-to-lovers has never felt more impossible. Step into a beloved and breathtaking world that demands an answer to a desperate question—

Captivating. Surprising. The 1st book “Sequel” “Series” astonishingly making prior better.

Painful Cliffhanger. The authoress is very good at this. Surprisingly full within a short book I would like to continue without the painful wait. Talented writer. Had to re-listen before the launch of the next book as a lot happened a a rather short volume. Could have been longer. Fearing a cliffhanger ending of the second book.

I absolutely adore this series

I really liked it it was a bit confusing and a bit like oak in cruel prince but I loved all the side things and seeing how the story continues it is a great read and I need the next book

the story is amazing!!

The way she made the characters similar to the original is so cool! The story itself is so good and I’m super excited for the next book! I’ve been counting the days and it definitely does not disappoint!! I love the story and the new couple are sooo cute! I love them! I love that we get the original characters as well and I’m so happy I get to relive the story from James’s and Rosabell’s pov.

Loved James Warner & Kenji my favorites

Loved the new storyline and I loved grown-up James but Warner is still my favorite as well as Kenji

Still obsessed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 | 🎧 Audiobook Review | Watch Me by Tahereh Mafi. First in the Shatter Me: The New Republic series.
We pick up 10 years after the end the Shatter Me series, and Tahereh Mafi pulls us right back in with Watch Me—this time through James’ perspective.
James feels like the perfect blend of Aaron and Kenji—reckless, clever, full of heart, and just a little impulsive. When he goes rogue on a mission to infiltrate one of the re-establishment’s strongholds, it sets the stage for a story full of tension and intrigue. Along the way, he meets Rosabelle, who’s desperately trying to care for her chronically ill sister in a world that deems her a lost cause. The weight of their father’s choices on Rosabelle specifically caused her to do some unspeakable things to survive.
Like the original Shatter Me books, this one builds piece by piece—planting seeds, dropping teasers, and leaving us counting down the days until book two.
🎧 I listened to the audiobook, and the narrators really brought these characters to life. The voices carried James’ impulsive charm and Rosabelle’s quiet resilience, making the story even more immersive.
Overall, I loved re-entering this world—it felt nostalgic yet fresh, and I can’t wait to see where the next book takes us.
