I like discovering new books, particularly completed series/trilogies as I hate having to wait for the upcoming books to be released. OK, that sounds rather disgusting but you get my point.

But does he have her best interests at heart, or another agenda altogether?Īfter reading the reviews written by my fellow bloggers aka the most amazing people in the world, I had the strongest of urges to get the Mara Dyer trilogy. Is she going crazy? As if dealing with all of this isn’t enough, Noah Shaw, the most beautiful boy she’s ever seen, can’t seem to leave her alone. She sees the faces of her dead friends everywhere and now she’s started to see other people’s deaths before they happen. When Mara Dyer wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there, or any explanation as to why the bizarre disaster that caused the deaths of her boyfriend and two best friends left her mysteriously unharmed, her doctors suggest she start over at a new school, and just hope memories gradually come back.īut Mara’s new start is anything but comforting. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer would be a perfect gift for anybody interested in the psychological thriller/horror genre, or who likes unreliable narrators.The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin Even with these cautions, I recommend this series. Some gruesome scenes (even if they aren’t real) are intense and not for the faint of heart. The book handles a lot of mature topics surrounding death. Because of the PTSD, this can be a heavy book.

I would recommend this book for ages 14+. The PTSD is also hard to read about sometimes. It doesn’t last very long, so if you can get through that, you'll get through the rest of the book. I disliked how the beginning of the book was like a horror movie. The big reveal hooked me on the series - Mara Dyer has just the right amount of missing information to keep readers guessing and glued to the book. It is such a thrill to read! The love interest is also very swoon-worthy (and I don’t throw that term around often!). You never know what’s real and what’s not. I really enjoyed the unreliable narrator.
