“Tell me what you see. Because I don't know what's real and what isn't or what's new or different and I can't trust myself, but I trust you.” I am confused. And scared terrified. I am angry. I am freaked out. I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with this series. And it hurts. “You will love him to ruins.” When a book starts with this line, you know that things are going to get ugly. In The Evolution of Mara Dyer Mara's family is seriously concerned about her mental

ALL THE STARS RIGHT HERE.Can we all just slow clap for this? AND THIS BOOK. NO WORDS RIGHT NOW. I just.. My thoughts have yet to make sense. So for now, all you have to know is that Evolution is a fantastic book that will most likely be the source of my nightmares and paranoia for the next few days.GO PRE-ORDER NOW! I just ordered mine :)***********updated FULL review***********I wasn't sure how it could be possible, but The Evolution of Mara Dyer was even more intese and twisted than The

The Evolution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #2), Michelle HodkinHer second novel, The Evolution of Mara Dyer, and the second book in the Mara Dyer Trilogy came out in 2012, while her third novel, The Retribution of Mara Dyer, and the final book in the trilogy was published in 2014.Mara Dyer knows she isn't crazy. She knows that she can kill with her mind, and that Noah can heal with his. Mara also knows that somehow, Jude is not a hallucination. He is alive. Unfortunately, convincing her family and d...

I really wasn't expecting this to be better than the first book!! The action was perfect, the romance great, the side characters amazing, the plot twists perfectly done.I think the first book was just a little too slow for me, not enough of the paranormal aspect...but now I feel it was appropriate because we needed the intro and back story...but everything about book 2 was just amazing and captivating.

Ideally, this book will include:NoahMaraNoah with Mara (I <3 Noah Shaw. Love him.)More creepy hallucinationsNoah breaking Jude's faceA full collection of perverse childrens books, penned by NoahSOME ANSWERS, PLEASE *after reading book*So remember in Mara's psyche file it says:Sarin, orig. carrier; contraindication suspected, unknown; midazolam administeredSo, it's creepy that Sarin, her mother's maiden name is mentioned. But the creepier part: I googled Midazolam, and it said this:Midazolam is g...

Pre-review:I'm at page. 255 and I want to list out a few things I wish Michelle Hodkin would write in the remaining part of The Evolution of Mara Dyer:(1) Mara is in fact crazy.(2) Jude, Mara's ex-boyfriend and would-be-rapist, is in fact dead.(3)Whenever Mara thinks she's seeing Jude, it's only her seeing her imaginary stalker.(4) Every single spooky event that has taken place in the book is either Mara's own handiwork or they taken place only in her head.(5) Mara goes all psycho-bitch and kill...

4.5 starsI found this one to be a bit slow at times but it did definitely deliver as far as the creepy twisted plot. I love trying to figure out what's going on. Also really love all the characters but sometimes I just got so frustrated wanting people to believe Mara!!!

Could it be any better!? This was amazing. I'm still in a shock! Well, you cannot know what is the truth because Mara doesn't. This is my favourite element of this series, Mara tells the story, however, she is not a really reliable source.I fell in love with Noah even more, not sure how's that even possible! And, the end of the book? What the hell! and now I'm supposed to wait for the next one so long? Poor me.I have been years since I've read this book, but I can still remember the chills it ga...

NO. NO NO NO. NO.

Just one word: AMAZING I can not stop thinking about what just happened......This book as the first has left me wondering many things and my head is a mess! unexpected information ... WOW !!I am pleasantly surprised honestly had my doubts about whether this book could overcome the first and really did with honors!Michelle God! , I wish to have only a quarter of the talent that this woman possesses. It has become one of my favorite writers with only two books I have read, I would read anything t

This book was BANANAS!!

The unfortunate byproduct of being a high school senior is that I don't have much time to read. Not as much as I used to, anyway. Before, I was able to finish a book in less than a week, and now, quite frankly, I'm lucky if I make it through half of the book in that time.This book took me three days to finish.Three days.GUYS. THREE DAYS.Insanity. I don't even remember the last time I finished a book so quickly.So here's how it all went down....Me before reading:Beyond excited. In fact, I may (or...

I should probably write a real review for this. Maybe I will, when my head isn't reeling.The Evolution is everything that The Unbecoming was and more. Romantic, perfectly paced, repeatedly punching you in the gut... I actually had to take a bunch of breaks and purge to someone during the last 100 pages because everything was becoming so intense and scary and twisted. It's 10 times worse than The Unbecoming, and it's awesome.It also raised my standards for gore and fear. If I had to pick two word...

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HECK DID I JUST READ!?!?First of all, how I am complete trash for this series at this point in my life is beyond me.I have no explanation. I can't explain it, but I am currently obsessed with this.I feel like this second installment gave me more questions than answers, but who the f* cares! I have one more book in this trilogy and I plan to devour it. Soon.Sure, if you contemplate the storyline for too long, it's hella problematic, but for some reason, in this case, I couldn't...

I just finished the book and I’m totally freaking out and silently screaming obscene phrases at the air because man, that twist, that ending (or the lack of it), as picked up from the book, is batshit crazy. I’m not sure if I should applaud it or curse it. I’m not sure whether to be impressed or upset by the revelations and I guess that’s when you can say a book is really good- when it totally messes up with your head. Up to now, my heartbeat hasn’t returned to normal. It hasn’t since I started

“I’m afraid– I’m afraid I’m losing control.” I’m afraid I’m losing myself. The idea was a splinter in my mind. Always there, always stinging, even when I wasn’t conscious of it. Even when I wasn’t thinking about it. What did I just read? My emotions are all over the place. Just when I thought I was getting answers, Michelle Hodkin slams me over the head with some grade A mindf*ckery. But who the hell am I fooling? I loved every second of it. *All spoilers tagged * Mara Dyer o

Well wasn't this a pleasant surprise! After being hugely disappointed with the way the first book turned from fabulously creepy to annoyingly romancy, I did not hold very high hopes for its sequel--even though I was (obviously) curious enough by the ending to still be looking forward to it. As you can tell, I had a very up and down relationship with that book. Fortunately, this sequel rocked it way harder than I could have hoped for!From terrifying hand-made dolls (Dolls. Are. Terrifying!), to d...
