About this ebook
Mara Dyer doesn’t know if she is crazy or haunted—all she knows is that everyone around her is dying in this suspenseful and “strong, inventive tale” (Kirkus Reviews).
Mara Dyer doesn’t think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.
She believes there must be more to the accident she can’t remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed.
There is.
She doesn’t believe that after everything she’s been through, she can fall in love.
She’s wrong.
After Mara survives the traumatizing accident at the old asylum, it makes sense that she has issues. She lost her best friend, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend’s sister, and as if that weren’t enough to cope with, her family moves to a new state in order to give her a fresh start. But that fresh start is quickly filled with hallucinations—or are they premonitions?—and then corpses, and the boundary between reality and nightmare is wavering. At school, there’s Noah, a devastatingly handsome charmer who seems determined to help Mara piece together what’s real, what’s imagined—and what’s very, very dangerous.
This fast-paced psychological—or is it paranormal?—thriller will leave you breathless for its sequel, The Evolution of Mara Dyer.

I've read the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and the Evolution of Mara Dyer twice in the span of half a year. I simply cannot put how much I love this trilogy so far into words. It'll most likely be number one on my list for years:)

Cliffhanger ending all the way! I had no idea there would be a sequel, now I can't wait for it. Overall, I enjoyed the stories twists and turns. I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that the two of them are "supernatural." I was hoping it would end up being a story about a girl who was genuinly going crazy, but hey, I still enjoyed it and will read the next one!

Really gripping book. The more pages you keep reading, the more you feel to continue till you complete this book. The one thing I didn't like is the use of foul language. Apart from that, it'll make you fell to read its sequels.
