Review:
Holy Freaking Sh*ts! Did I just read that? Yes, I did, and IT. WAS. BRILLIANT.
The Evolution of Mara Dyer is the best book I've read this month. 1000 times better, and much more exciting than the first one, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. This book cannot be categorized in a specific genre, it has suspense, horror, romance, a little paranormal element, and definitely a psychological thriller, but most importantly it is a well written book about a misunderstood girl.
Mara is still struggling with her nightmares, and pretending to be normal so her family doesn't send her to some mental hospital. It was so hard reading about her, seeing that no one trusted her enough or believed in anything she said. I was so mad at her parents, but I get why they acted that way. They wanted their kid to be better, but they should have at-least listened to her once without judging. Mara was much more stronger, and controlled in this book, she knew how much information to give away in order to sound normal, which was a smart decision on her part. I'm obsessed Mara Dyer, and will read anything about her.
Noah was such a sweetheart in this book. I was very doubtful about his intentions in the last book, but I have been proven wrong. I loved Noah, the things he did for Mara, and her safety were just speechless. I loved that he was not a jerk, was not whiny or jealous or an extremely hot alpha bad boy, he was a good person, and a great boyfriend (and he's uber rich too *wink*). Mara & Noah have some special powers, and we got a little background on them, not enough though. I don't even know how I'm going to wait for the next book, and after that ending...NO just NO...that cannot be happening.
The Evolution of Mara Dyer is the best squel I've read to-date. It is exciting, astonishing, and eventful. Michelle Hodkin is my new favorite author, and her writing is so engaging, and captivating. You don't want to miss this series, it is one of a kind, and a definite must read. If you're like me, and thought the first one was okay, then you need to read the sequel because it will rock your world (book world atleast).
