From the publisher

A Good Morning America YA Book Club Pick! An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, Publishers Weekly bestseller, and indie bestseller!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. All that matters is that he managed to do what his older brother, the famous Aaron Warner Anderson, never did: infiltrate Ark Island, the last refuge of The Reestablishment. In the past decade 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 fall of The Reestablishment. 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 after a decade of unsettling quiet, The Reestablishment is ready to make a devastating move, and they have the perfect person 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. A trained assassin, her every movement is monitored by synthetic intelligence–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–Who are we when no one is watching?
