A dark, supernatural romance, perfect for fans of Holly Black, Cassandra Clare and Stephenie Meyer.
Mara Dyer wakes from a coma in hospital with no memory of how she got there or of the bizarre accident that caused the deaths of her best friends and her boyfriend, yet left her mysteriously unharmed.
The doctors suggest that starting over in a new city, a new school, would be good for her and just to let the memories gradually come back on their own. But Mara's new start is anything but comforting. She sees the faces of her dead friends everywhere, and when she suddenly begins to see other people's deaths right before they happen, Mara wonders whether she's going crazy!
And if dealing with all this wasn't enough, Noah Shaw, the most beautiful boy she has ever seen can't seem to leave her alone . . . but as her life unravels around her, Mara can't help but wonder if Noah has another agenda altogether.
Praise for The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer:
'Haunting and dreamlike... the intrigue and romance will inescapably draw you in' - Cassandra Clare, bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments series.
'The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer strikes a rare balance of darkly funny, deliciously creepy and genuinely thoughtful. One minute I was laughing out loud, and the next, I was so scared I wanted to turn on all the lights and hide under the covers. Michelle Hodkin's talent and range are obvious, from her chilling descriptions to romantic scenes that almost crackled on the page. I've never read anything quite like it.' Veronica Roth, New York Times bestselling author of Divergent

I had a like/hate relationship with this book. I say like because im not in love with this story. The only reason I kept reading it was do to the mystery element.
I hated the insta-love and the main guy protagonist. But even more then that I hated how Mara just let him get away with it after a while of knowing him. She stopped caring that he was a guy that did whatever he wanted and got away with it for the most part and she fell for him. Now im not saying I wont grow to like them as a couple I just think it happened way to fast, and there our bigger things going on that need handling.
Now the part of this book that I did like was the fact that Mara had no clue what was happening to her or how to make it stop or control it. I also really enjoyed the mystery of it all, and that ending oh my.. That is the only thing keeping me reading this series. I have to know if what she saw was another hallucination or real life.
